I bought a 15300 white dial who i wil be getting next week.
I need to add 2 links for order it for me to fit.
I believe the watch is from 2008 what do you Guys think?
Should i Give it a service Right a way with a polish at a AP Boutique ?

GeraldGentaFan · 17 March 2019, 12:23 AM

Great watch, 15300 is a great combo between still true Genta design and sturdier case and bracelet.

Have the accuracy checked, and if it runs well would not do a service. And regarding polishing: very tricky on a RO. Many WIS would not buy a RO if it has been polished. Would avoid it if not fully necessary. And if really necessary, not sure I would have bought the watch in the first place...

When was the last service? I wouldn't hesitate to let the AP service center polish it, as long as it is sent to an official center.

vakman · 17 March 2019, 03:21 AM

No service history.

AK797 · 17 March 2019, 06:51 AM

If it's keeping good time I would leave it, maybe let AP polish it if it needs a little touch up, should cost £2-300 so very reasonable.

Chute · 17 March 2019, 02:46 PM

You should be able to buy extra links from AP

vakman · 18 March 2019, 04:00 AM

Yes price ar AP was 185 euro in Munich and 265 euro in Rotterdam.

vakman · 23 March 2019, 11:17 PM

And here it is. I am in ext week in München so i can buy 2 extra links there and finaly can wear it. It’s a F-series.

duc888 · 24 March 2019, 03:34 AM

Very nice.....

snadir · 24 March 2019, 11:00 AM

I just picked up a 15300 black dial this week and I need a link as well, it is uncomfortably tight currently.

15300 is really a terrific watch!

inadeje · 24 March 2019, 12:04 PM

Looks nice to me, I think I would leave as-is until a service is required. New blemishes will reappear after you wear it for a while anyway, so just wear it and be happy.

cascavel · 24 March 2019, 06:15 PM

What ever you do, don't get it polished. That watch looks terrific.

vakman · 24 March 2019, 08:40 PM

Yes i wil only let get it serviced and not polished. Cant wait to wear iT.

vakman · 2 April 2019, 12:53 AM

Just got the to extra links placed... and need one more, i Will wear iT in the car with the A-C on high then it is not to tight.

Roccio · 2 April 2019, 03:24 AM

Very nice pickup! I think there was an option to change the entire bezel if it was too scratched up. The entire watch is a scratch magnet anyways so don't worry too much about a scuff or two!

Batmannr1 · 2 April 2019, 03:45 PM

Gefeliciteerd.
Very nice and I think 39 mm is the sweet spot for a RO.

Belated congratulations!

vakman · 8 April 2019, 07:12 PM

Bedankt! Ja i think a RO 39Mm is also the best size.

SMD · 8 April 2019, 08:33 PM

If me I would service and light polish.

If it were me, I'd just have the movement serviced and leave it unpolished. I prefer a watch to be as untouched as possible.

premiumsoysauce · 10 April 2019, 08:33 PM
