If 14790 (36mm) fits then 15450 (37mm) should be....

Just wanted TRF input. I tried on a used 14790 at 36mm I believe. Looking at how the watch sits ony wrist and how the lugs curls so perfectly over my wrists, I'm thinking that a new 15450 in 37mm should work just as well. I have a 6.75 inch wrist

And given the demand is less than 15500 or a 15202 ...the 15450 should be "easier" to obtain (I hope)

Given how the integrated bracelets sits i can't imagine that a 15500 or 15202 would fit all that well on my wrist







this here is 15400...way to big for me

I have 6.3 inch wrists roughly. 15450 is perfect. It wears larger than 37mm due to the integrated bracelet

I’ve tried the 15450 at an AD a couple months back.

My wrists are 6.25 inches and it is perfect for my wrist.

You’re 6.75 inch wrists should be fine.

The 15450 in blue will not be easy to obtain. White, yes.

But I agree with your size assessment.

I’m pretty sure I’ve tried on the exact same 14790 recently (it’s in NYC, right?). In that case, my 15450 actually wears a bit better than that 14790 because the 15450’s bracelet drapes a bit better on my wrist. So if the 14790 works for you, the 15450 definitely will too.

Yep NYC :)

Thanks for the confirmation. What's your wrist size and do you have wrist shot with 15450?

My wrist is very small - around 6 inches. Here's a photo of the 14790 you tried and a photo of the 15450 on my wrist in the same-ish position for comparison. I also added a shot of the 15450 in "real world" conditions.

I've tried a 15450 before but prefer the 14790 due to the slim case and slim bracelet. Wears more like a jumbo vs the 15450. Both are nice but I'd go the 14790 route, dial with long indexes. I'm biased though.

That 14790 looks absolutely perfect on your wrist. Go for it if you don't feel the need for 15450.

I think it all boils down to preferences, as 14790 is more elegant vs the 'blingy' 15450.
