No I know the original is the most. I'm wondering though why the new 40th is doing so much better than the previous one for resale.

Because it's perfect, if to take the previous one I find the 300 looks better, the 40th is closest to the original...

Most excellent, and I agree.

Anyway, I think the 15202 could probably be worn every day, obviously not to the gym or while chopping wood.

But isn't the only difference in look between the 15300 and previous 15202 just the seconds hand?

I don't count thicker and screw down crown to effect the look that much.

Dial layout, tapisserie design, and thickness are other key differences.

I would if I wasn't getting the 15202 too. But I don't want people to freak out at work when I'm walking around with a giant gold thing on my wrist lol.

Exactly what said my friend Neil, and thickness does play a part in the looks

Well for the RO, I actually prefer the thinness. It makes it more elegant actually. I feel if you want a thick watch get the ROO.

And it's not THAT much thinner from the 15400. I had them both in my hands at the boutique recently. I actually liked the thinness. What I didn't care for was the 39mm size. I prefer maybe a 40mm. Also if they brought back the white dial. I really wanted a white dial 15202 40th. Kind of annoying they dropped it completely for this latest one. I guess it didn't sell well.
