Thanks, Bryan. I guess I have to try it on again. I was just so impressed with the clasp on the 15400 - I wonder if one could be purchased for the 15300...if one were so inclined :)

It won't fit as the bracelet is slightly wider on the 15400 when compared to the 15300. The clasp on the 15300 is not as comfortable as the one on the 15400 but it is still quite comfortable. No issues here.

The clasp is absolutely fantastic on both models, And i do prefer them over the one on my 26300.

The bracelet on the 15400 is actually a perfect fit on the 15300 and would be possible to install.

I always learn something new from you Thomas. I am curious to know how is that possible if one is 39mm and the other 41mm. Does the 41mm taper that much to where the bracelet meets the case?

That's what TRF is all about, The 15400 bracelet is the same dimensions at the case as the 15300.

Another thing that makes the 15400 out of proportions imo.

The latest version of the 15300 has a different, and more solid clasp. It is no longer an AP logo, but solid metal pieces with "Audemars Piguet" written in each one.

I wonder if the last 15300s with the updated clasps will be worth more?
