A Story of Betrayal>>>>>

I've always considered myself a Royal Oak purist and felt that I could never betray my love for the 39mm original Royal Oak.

Well, I was wrong. I just received this gorgeous 15400 and couldn't be happier. This watch is something else in person.

Excuse the iPhone pics. More to come.

Comparison shot side by side with my 15300. I don't feel I betrayed my 15300 or my 5402. I'm loving it. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1370967984.615878.jpg

NICE! Welcome to the club!!!
I had wanted a RO for years, but always found the 39mm a bit too dressy for my taste. When the 15400 was announced I knew that my problem was solved...I have owned mine for about 6 weeks and absolutely love it.

From a design perspective I also prefer the double-hash index at 12 o'clock and the date wheel that matches the dial (I have a black dial).

Congratulations on a great watch...wear it in good health:)

What--I had to make sure this wasn't an April fools joke. Hal buying a 41mm--I'm shocked in a good way!!

Love 15400. Heck, even Mike might covert

Huge congrats!!

Beautiful. 15400 is a perfect median between the classic RO and the sports ROOs. It is just dressy anough and just sporty enough. Congrats!

As I said before APs an innovative, modern thinking brand and the new 41mm esp in white/silver is a stunning piece.
