IMHO, both are class watches, but I prefer the Diver on Rubber.
I think the rubber adds a little more contrast against the SS casing, and its also very versatile to wear on different types of outfits.

I love the 15400 but don't consider it either casual or rugged. Scratches easily.

I visited the AD today, tried on the Diver but now I also like the Safari as well. Man decisions decisions. I think I'll need to go back again and try a few more. :) here's some pics from today. Thanks for all the help. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1345780866.032909.jpg

Brace yourself....I too just went down this path.

Ended up with both. Like them both for different reasons. You won't be disappointed with either.

Too me (Diver + Safari) it's a great "1-2" AP combo!

Sandro...

Either way is a great to dip your toe into the AP brand!

Please see my attached "sub par" wrist shot.

While I LOVE my Safari - right out of the box I found the Diver a little more comfortable on the wrist.

As I get deeper into the brand I really find they have a unique watch for almost every occasion...Sport/diver, casual dress, elegant and "Grail" - just search 44mm Rose Gold.

I have a 6.5" wrist. Tried on the 15400 in Vegas earlier in the year. Felt a bit large. I am guessing the Diver will wear larger than my Pam 111?

I may have to scour for a 15300 some day.

I think now it's between the diver, safari or panda. The more I look at these watches, the longer the list gets. Dammit.

i guess between diver, safari, panda. i'd go for panda because of it's contrast and the way it looks.

I'm leaning towards the safari, but I think it's going to end up a trilogy. Safari, Diver and than 15400. Savings begin now. :)

Got my diver about a year ago, having trouble now deciding between the 15400 or Chrono in white/silver. Afraid the 15400 dial is kinda similar to my diver but the chrono is also similar to my black daytona. Also, considering a Bvlgari chrono sprint endurer on bracelet, really like the shape and price is decent. But, please someone talk me out of it as I don't really like the brand for a timepiece.

I ended up ordering the panda. Very excited. Love the contrast between the dial and strap. I already have my sights set on the diver with bracelet. I have to thank Dalip for that one. :)
