15407.OR thoughts

So what do you AP fanatics think of this new watch? It is the new Royal Oak Skeleton Double Balance Wheel in all Rose Gold. 41mm

It's a real beauty, but personally prefer the 39mm ultrathin - 15204OR...have you seen/tried that one?

Only 200 for the world so hurry!

It's amazing, quite expensive and demand is greater than supply.

Love it but slightly prefer the original 15305or. Dimensions and dial (without the gold balance wheel) look a little more balanced.

The AP skeletons are considered one of the best made in the world thus demand is high and AP keeps supply very low.

It's a gorgeous piece. I have seen it irl. Although for the money, I think mine is a slightly better value and 39mm is a better size for me. What's missing is the golden bridge. Not sure about the claims of better accuracy but it's not that important for me.

Here's my 15305OR after adding the RG bracelet :






and here is a side by side shot between the two RG Skeletons :

I don't think so. I think you need the bracelet from the 15202OR unless it's the same?

I am looking forward to seeing it! I have a deposit on a SS one, don't expect it until late next year - I'm interested that AP designed new technology and made it skeleton.

I am also expecting to recieve my 15204 Extra Thin by year end. For me; the metal used, size of case and the movement (history and date fundction) make them completely different watches for different times. However, my wife uses this exact example to make her point about some claim of insanity on my part....

So AP Clearwater first said it is the same, but when i called again to confirm they said no.

I'm not sure if you guys know Anil Arjandas but i'm curious because of the below post in which he took the bracelet of the 39ROC and it fit on the 41ROC. So i would assume its the same going from 41 ROC to a 39 ROC?

D33oh, HI. I'm a big fan!

Did you get your 39 with the watch from factory or source it yourself?

As Ben and Jim said, the 39mm is much more balanced in size. The gold balance wheel on the 15407 is a bit off to me
