Great choices Chadri! I don't think you could have picked a better pair to replace the DD. Enjoy!

I followed the previous story about the dd40 and although it is beautiful piece, for the right man, I also feel it wasn't for me at this time.

I think you really put some thought into your current choices and it's hard to go wrong with an AP Steel.

Congrats on your new Duo!

DD goes DSSD and AP comes. Smartest flip I've seen so far.

That 15400 is fire!!! Great piece. Did you have a tough time deciding between the black, silver, and blue dial?

So a lot of people have comment that they've enjoyed my logic when deciding on how to build my collection. I appreciate those comments and am happy to feel validated and of course share my thought process.

I do feel that I put a lot into making decisions, but with all that said, I still very much have a "flipper" mentality. There's no denying it.

My hope is always to acquire watches that I COULD keep forever, and this RO is no different. However if I'm being honest with myself, I will say that flipping this white dialed 15400 for a blue dial, is a very real possibility. Obviously the blue dial boutique 15400 is not as easy to find and would likely cost more, so the decision to get the white dial was not entirely based on simple preference, however I did really want it more than all others, but not by much.

To be honest it's a little bit of a coin flip. All three dial variants are absolutely stunning.
