Only reason I can see is the original design and rarity perspective from a collector/flipper standpoint.

I believe the reason why AP made the 15400 at 41mm was to not compete with the 15202 and separate it from the other RO's to drive its exclusivity. The 15300 blue, to me, is the perfect RO.

I agree completely. Can’t do without a seconds hand. What are blue 15300 going for these days?

Correct...not comparing the 15300 and 15202 but rather discussing the lore of the 39mm RO in general.

I have a 15300OR which I love, but it lacks that raw AP DNA of the stainless and I’m on the list at the NY boutique for a black or gray dial 15500 (whichever comes first), but I’m thinking about cancelling my 15500 and getting a used 15300ST. I think a 15300ST would be more complimentary to my 15300OR than the 15500.

I suppose that’s reasonable. Just wish I could try on a 15300ST, I’ve never worn one but I have tried many 15400ST.

What is the lug to lug size of the 15300ST vs the. 15300OR?

Not sure off hand but it would be the same as the OR.

To think I sold my black dial for $15k a couple years back. The watch world is just nuts right now.

15202ST blue dials are selling for north of $45K?! I almost shit my pants when I saw that. I have been not keeping up with he market but that seems crazy to me.

15300 every day...just feels more like a solid watch to me, and setting the date is not a PITA.
I think the 39s are the best size for the ro range though.. When I had a 15400 for a short while it just felt off, same as a 216570 exp2 - something with the dial/case dimensions combination that is not right to me.

Thinking about getting a 39mm chrono vs a fc diver... decisions decisions....

how long did they quote you for a wait list of the 15500?

and what seems to be the reasonable wait list for Oaks in general?

15500, 15400, 15202...?
