Agree. And ~$5K difference between Jumbo and 15450

This may be a stupid question but do the boutiques offer any discounts? I've heard people getting 20% off the 15450 at an AD

Rare, let alone on a blue one...unless you're some Jedi negotiator. You can get an extended warranty and a service thrown in for not too much hassle, however

I can't really explain why I didn't love the fit of my jumbo - the integrated lugs then flatness of the watch just didn't sit so great for my bony wrist. This 15450 being a bit smaller and thicker may be the ticket. Hate to pay retail for it as I agree it's niche and flipping will hurt, no matter the blue dial. And I have the 5711 so there's that

You certainly aren't alone. I have heard polarizing views on the fit of the jumbo. I think with the stiff bracelet it is a must to try it on first. I didn't have any trouble with it when I sampled but my wrist is around 7".

Hopefully some get to ADs and we can score a nice price

I've used my Jedi skills to get a Diet Coke at a Rolex AD

Looks really nice, I need to try one on, I had dismissed the 15450 due to the size of the dial but with limited choices now, this is something to give serious consideration if you want a blue dial RO. I guess I missed the news about the yellow gold and blue dial last year, looks amazing!

So is the 15450 blue dial boutique only??

Lucky enough to have found a blue dial 15450. Love the way that it normally looks just like a dark dial, just in certain light conditions the blue comes to life.

a previous post here mentioned having 7.75 wrist and considering the 450. please be forewarned, at that wrist size the bracelet may be too small, or at very least extremely tight.

i have a 7" wrist, out of the box the 450 fits me perfectly with just a slight amount of slack. but that's it... no extra links. I'd imagine a 7.75 wrist is going to need at least one additional link, depending on how loose one likes to wear.

enjoying this recent addition...

So after trying on the jumbo and the 15450st blue dial the way the 15450 wore on my list their was just one winner...

I tried on the 15450 at an AD today. They didn’t have any SS models, so I tried on TT. It fit perfect on my 6.5”. I really want the blue dial, it’s boutique only and near impossible to get. The white/silver and grey dials seem easier to get.
