AP15450 pricing

Hi guys!
What do you think is the right price to pay for a 15450 white dial in the market right now . My dealer is telling me that he can get the white dial for $16500 with tax cancelled out. I was initially thinking about the 15400 for my 6.75” wrist but I feel that 15450 will feel more classy and the additional decrease in price is also a nice plus.

Suggestions welcome !

You should be able to wear the 41mm easily. Try both and decide. I wouldn't worry about the price. I assume you are getting a brand new 15450 for $16.5K correct?

hey i have the exact same size wrist and i just bought a 15400. i can understand your interest in the slightly smaller model. i have a rather flat wrist (i think) and sometimes i do wonder if the 15450 might not work even better than the 15400 for me.

That's the right price for the 15450, you can't get a discount on them anymore. I have a 7" wrist and found the 15400 to be much too large for me

6.75 wrist with 400 and 450. 400 look big in the picture but when I tried, I felt that 450 is too small. And I’m happy that I chose 400.

39mm would be just right?

Just bought my 15450 new for 16.5k. Previously had a 15400 which was too big for my 6.3in wrist. Even tried 1.5 link etc but couldn’t get a good fit. This one is perfect with one link removed. I also think its way more classier with the smaller dial especially with white face.

the 15400 looks perfect on your wrist. and wrist shots always make the watch look bigger.

OP with a 6.5" wrist definitely get the 15400, IMO I'm time you will be disappointed with the 15450 especially if the other watches in your collection are 40mm and larger.

OP has 6.75”, so 15400 should work. The wrist shots always make the watch looks bigger.

You made the correct choice with the 15450, looks great on your wrist. Also, the 15450 and the 15400 use the same movement which means that the date window on the 15450 is on the edge of the dial whereas on the 15400 it's in the middle of the dial.

the 15450 vs 15400 question is always a matter of taste and different people will feel differently... I just got a 15450 and absolutely love it (I found the 15400 and 15202 both to be too large on my wrist, but I tend to like smaller watches). agree that discounts don’t really seem to be an option on these anymore.
