Incoming, 15400ST white dial

My second AP with Diver white dial being the first. Sold the diver due to several shortcoming. This one top the Diver on all front imho. Look at that dial!




Mandatory wrist shot, on my puny 6.4”-6.5” wrist.


I think this one is a keeper.

Congratulations!. There are lots of AP models that are great but IMHO the 15400st is the greatest!

Thanks all. It’s great piece of art, especially the lively dial.

Around 6.4”-6.6” the last time I measured but I think on lower side now.

There’s slight overhang due to fixed lug curving down but not too obvious. I guess 15300 will be perfect fit but unfortunately I preferred 15400 dial layout.

Could I ask how much you paid? I'm looking for one preowned in the UK but the prices are firm. £12,500 - £13,500 though I have seen one for £11,250. It's my first 15400 and I don't know how to price it.

I got mine at a steal I guess. Full set H series at £9,200

At the price you mentioned, isn’t that close to retail? Or maybe effect of tax?

At those prices you might want to consider looking on the forums here or across the pond. A few members have some very good deals and selection.

£12K would be a very good price now, we have had 15% of AP price rises and many watch model's prices are rising, whole market is very bullish. £11.2 is a used one from T4D right? Worth looking at.

Thanks guys for the compliment. Still find new details on the watch every time I look at it. Superb watch. One side note, this watch seem too loud to be a pure dress watch but instead I find it to be a purebred sport watch.

P.S: The photos are taken with outdated iPhone 6s with no editing

Yes it's that one. I tried calling but no answer and I tried the online support. I found him or her a bit stuck up tbh. I mentioned px ing my 116622 and they replied we only consider rare and top quality watches. Still at that price I could still pay cash.

Go and see it first, T4D are not the most reliable.

if thats really the best prices in the UK now, i am not following very closely, i would just buy new. You are not that far off UK RRP.

It would take very significant savings for me to buy used or buy from a non AD.

Problem is I am not close to them. I didn't get a good vibe from them and they said they would email me pictures etc but they haven't. Think I'll leave this one.
