Two very different watches. Tough to tell... You really have to try it on.

Fits very different than a SubC as it is way thinner and less chunky. It is a very comfortable watch for every day wear.

The Sub fits you nicely. Looks similar to the way the Sub-C fits me. I say 15400 cause that is what I prefer.

I tried the 15300 the other day and I own a SubC, i felt the AP wore a little smaller than the submariner. It looked great.

I dont have a measuring tape at home atm ( dont ask why ) , but from wrist shots which you have uploaded in other threads .e.g your bee, 15300ST ,etc etc, i deduce that its not that far off. Am i right? haha |

I was offered a mint 15400 ST, so its hard to consider which model. Still 6 more months before i head back to Singapore. |

I tried both the 15300 and the 15400 on in the same AD visit. The 15300 did not look bad. Not by a long shot. But since I would prefer to wear the AP as more of a sports watch, I liked the bigger look. Just the reasoning in my head. You opinion may vary.

It looks great in jeans and, even better under a suit. no flaw there. Sports-wise, I'll hunt a FC diver within the years to come. Some people may not find it reasonable to purchase it at a premium without any chrono features. ( Just my 2cents). As such, I'll take my time for the time being and appreciate the 15300ST. |

How would the "Hulk" have you think of the RO 15300?

Really different watches those two. This might help your thought process (15400 pictured below.).

well it could have been any timepiece really.
The hulk was 41mm.. which was 2mm larger than the 15300ST. I happened to have this picture in my album and decided to upload it for some opinions. If i had taken a wrist pic of my GMT IIC, you'd replace the word hulk with GMTIIC haha. |

The Hulk is 40mm.
The 15300 is indeed 39mm, but it wears bigger, due to it's length.

I love my 15300 and have a 7 3/4" wrist. I have no desire or interest to swap it for a 15400. The 15300 wears big enough for me.
