Hi everyone

I fell in love a little too late it seems. As one of my 2 JLC is gone to his new owner, I realized that there is no more new 15300 anywhere and that nobody is selling a LNIB one either.

I see that the 15300 is the main choice for most people but the 15400 bring back the double bars at 12 the original jumbo has. Overall I don't thinks it's that bad compared to the 153oo but what you guys would do ?

I love the 15400 but it seems there is not much love for it around...

Let me know what you think.

I tried on the 15400 it's real nice, I have never seen the 15300 in person yet but I like the 39mm ROC and it is the same size;

Hairdude1 · 12 October 2012, 01:52 PM

I also like the 15400 but in the end I wound up with the 15300

TSW · 12 October 2012, 06:45 PM

Prefer the classic 39mm RO

X2. Perfect size.

I prefer the 15300 for its more balance dial.

Bruce123 · 12 October 2012, 09:43 PM

Picked up the 15300 and loving it. But was a tough decision between the 15400 and 15300.

texex91 · 12 October 2012, 09:51 PM

15400 is a great watch. Silver dial

rohardi · 12 October 2012, 10:58 PM

Are the differences between the 15300 and 15400 a difference in 39mm and 41 mm and the AP at the 12 o'clock on the 15300 and the two line markers at the 12 o’clock? is there anything else?

That pretty much covers it. Also the extra hour marker beside the date window on the 15400.

The 15300 is delicious. VERY glad I scored it when I did. Prices seem to be increasing with it's discontinuation...

jnelson3097 · 13 October 2012, 12:48 AM

I'd be happy with a 15400

vpr80 · 13 October 2012, 01:48 AM

You can definitely still find a new or LNIB 15300. Keep an eye on the classifieds and put a WTB ad. Contact DAVIDSW.

Seems like you answered your own question. If the 15400 lights your fire then that's the way to go! That being said, I love my 15300, and I'm sure you could find a nice one with a little legwork. Good luck!

I did contact David, I am definitively looking for a 15300 with silver dial. I already made room for this one but wasn't thinking it would be so difficult to find one...

Darlinboy · 13 October 2012, 10:11 AM

15300 is my pick... Keep looking....They are still out there.

I'd be happy with either anyway, just trying to find a 15300 for the size of my wrist.

Cheers

You can ask APSC to swap dials.

Wow,

Thanks guys, wasn't sure this could be done. Anybody has an idea of the cost ? most probably an arm, a leg and my left lung ?

kilyung · 14 October 2012, 08:02 AM

I think I heard it was $600 on an exchange basis?

I had heard that they allow you to keep the original dial. But I could also be misinformed...it's happened before!
