if you travel frequently for work, gmt-c might make more sense

OP. I wore my 15400 for a good month in it's last rotation. I had no problems although I do baby it more than my Rolexes.

I wear jeans and shorts mostly and sometimes notice it shining a bit loudly but to me that is part of it's appeal.

Both are great watches in my opinion. My Rolexes keep better time though. I have to send my 15400 off because it gains a lot of time on my wrist. Everyone should have at least 1 Rolex though.

Good luck with your decision.

+1 I've had mine since January and wear it 80% of the time. I am more careful wearing it than my other watches, but it goes great with shorts to a suit and yes, it is something different from the herd. Love mine.

I'd go with the 15400 any day. You obviously have the means to get whatever you want, so you can always pick a Rolex beater whenever you like...

Perhaps you could try both and really see which one you prefer, as far as I'm concerned it's the best way to go.

Impressive. I manage to scratch all my watches within the first week.

Decision made .....thanks for all the feedback

This was a tough call. I literally went back and forth on this one for over a week. Stay tuned for the results.

I tried, I really really tried, I went to the AD, I put the Rolex on my wrist numerous times, I listened to all of the "get a Rolex, its so much more practical" opinions, I listened to the little voice in my head whispering " Get a Rolex, everyone needs a Rolex"

And then this happened ......

BAM! That was a GREAT choice.

15400 is ideal because it's a watch you can dress up or down...bravo on the decision!

PS - Pull the stickers off and it looks even better

Excellent choice. I love mine and think you chose wisely! I never tire of looking at that amazing dial.
