Ap 15450
I just thought i would share some pics of my recent purchase. I wanted a RO that i could wear in more dressy situations, hence my choice for a silver dial and for a 37mm. Had to add two links since i have a large wrist.
So far, i really love it. Dial looks great, with varying colors depending on lighting. 3120 movement works well and is great to look at. And the ST bracelet is divine. Have not seen much love for the 15450 on the forum. But i am quite new on Trf Cheers |

Very nice
I don't know why AP only makes the 15450 in one dial colour - what happened to the blue and black? |

The 450 is very nice and better proportioned than the 400, its just on the small side for most that's all.

37mm is small these days, but looks good on you.

I believe the 450 was a lady's ro. Only recently when they intro the one that you are wearing that they began to promote it as a unisex watch. i think i would buy this as well since my wrist is so puny. |

Looks good. We must remember that most models in the 90's to early 2000's were 36mm. These days, we're used to big watches but watch this space.....

I think this watch looks great! The size seems perfect and the dial is very crisp, congratulations.

When I went to the ad to try it on I first went for the 450 and the salesman was a bit skeptical about me asking to try it on but then was surprised it fit perfectly. I'd go 450. Cheaper and fits me. But these are quite rare or people buy to keep. Not too many on the used market compared to the bigger sizes... I'd imagine resale isn't as good as the 39 or 41mm.

450 would certainly get more traction if they had a blue and/or black SS version. |

Yeah I wonder why it only comes with a white dial. Sihh 2014? I'd still probably go with white anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A beauty and looks to be a perfect fit for your wrist, congrats! My experience with the RO's surprised me. Acquired a 450 w/o considering the other models, the assumption being my smallish 6.5 wrist couldn't hold anything larger than the 37 mm.
Was able to buckle on a 202 later and just couldn't resist the blue dial. Over a bit of time, I preferred the larger diameter though thinner 202 vs the thicker 450 from a size perspective. Moved the 450 out recently, deciding the 202 "wore" better. Go figure . . . |

Yeah, agree. If the 450 was as thin as the 202 I think I would have kept that too. As it was, it became hard to buckle the 450 on with the 202's fit available. No sense I have any watch if it isn't gonna get worn . . .
