Oh too bad for the 5712, I got one back after selling my first for an investment, I missed it like crazy, if only one needs to stay one day it will be it, ok and the Voutilainen as I can't sell that one, am getting it in May, very excited to get such a piece

Thanks buddy If you missed it here's the thread, it explains the watch and all, and there's a link to another Voutilainen thread, I am getting mine in May, another member gets his in June. Pretty cool that there will be 2 here

Blue 15300 incoming

How did I miss this!!!

Congrats and welcome to the Blue 15300 club - if there is such a thing.

Amazing you found one unworn. Amazing!

Enjoy it. The watch is more delicate than some, but I think of it as a slightly finicky Italian Sports car... takes some TLC, but you love driving it!

Thanks man, I don't think it will be more delicate than my 5712, more or less the same

Thanks, well I am pretty sure that a few unworn ones come up for sale yearly, had already seen a few black or white dials new, but I was interested in the blue

I suppose the flat / brushed bezel of the 5712 has the same vulnerability of the 15300.

With the AP though, you do have more angles / edges...and the bracelet is a bit. Ore sensitive...

That said, two gorgeous Genta pieces! How about a side x side pic?

the side pic will have to wait next time I am in Paris, as the 15300 is in the bank safe there, decided not to put it in the rotation yet, with my 5712 and 5167R incomings of the last months I think I have enough watches to please me now, will put the 15300 in the rotation when my urge for a new piece is strong, since a 5711 and the Voutilainen are coming first half of 2017, the AP shouldn't be worn yet, wearing an unworn 15300 blue dial is cool, but will be way cooler later, and the 5711 will probably also not be worn before some time and be with the 15300...

For the AP bracelet being more delicate sure it clearly is compared to the PP...
