15300 Would you ?

15300 was the main RO when I first got into the brand, the 202 then was not very popular before the 40th anniversary update, to the extent the 300 was known as the AP Jumbo for a time, so that watch is fine by me.

Flat seems like something you wouldn’t want, as in a flaw. I have seen all the RO versions numerous times, the dial on the 15300 is one of its great attractions.

It is reflective just not overly so and is not metallic.

I am going back and forth on a SS sports watch and a ROO or ROC are at the top of my list (if I can convince myself that it won't scratch any faster as a daily wear then the overseas or a daytona, and the service won't be over $2K).

I have a 18.5cm wrist and here are some wrist shots. Is the 41MM too large? 38MM too small? 39 perfect if I went with time only versus chrono?

Wrist shape seems to have so much to do with things.







Thanks!

Offshore is my grail but this is just too beautiful. I think it's the nicest blue dial on any watch

If the 15400 wore a little too big, then the 15300 would be perfect. I had a black 15400 and switched to a white 15300 and it's perfect. My favorite watch other than my vintage 1675 pepsi. I even enjoyed more than my blue 5711.

The 15300 definitely doesn't wear like a typical 39mm given the bracelet. As far as dials, in order I prefer blue, white, then black.

the key rule in Royal Oak is "less is more" . 39>36

Had to take a second look at that pumpkin in the background. At quick glance, I thought you were overlooking a balcony and there was a very large, round man in an orange shirt photobombing your RO.
