The reason why I prefer the 15202 is the movement. Cal. 2120 is still one of my favorite automatic movement(I'm a big fan of hand-wound movements). However, I never own any watch without a second hand. Honestly I'm not quite sure I can accept that.

Yah I could never have a watch without a second hand either.

39mm is just the sweet spot on Royal Oak. Hard to beat them. But for smaller wrists, agreed, 15450 is the way to go, although I don’t find 15400 as too big 😃 Thanks so much for watching :)

Stumbled upon your channel. What a surprise! Absolutely love your contents and effort making them. Top notch! Learnt so much from your videos and def helped me to pick my next watch. One quick question on 15300 blue. Was is boutique exclusive or the blue dial became exclusive only in 15400? And is it true that once you sent the watch to APSC. They had to change the datewheel due to improvement in movement parts? I recently just got a blue 15300 with thinner and more modern numerals.

I'm in the market for a RO, coming from a Rolex BLNR (40mm) and 36mm DateJust I think the 39mm would be perfect for me! I always loved the way my Datejust wore, it was so comfy. Can't decide between the 15400 or this 15300, first world problems eh.

@HafizJMehmood 4 жыл бұрын

15400 does wear larger even more so that you batman. As your quote DJ36, id rather recommend you to consider 15300 or 15450 (37mm)

Struggling with this, nice to see a review like this. I’m on the wait for 15550, but the 41m is a little larger, I tried the Chrono 26315 which was stunning but I felt quite compact. Just confuses if I should be looking at this piece / because it’s an older model but I get the appeal. The case at 39m just looks balanced- the right weight and proportions are spot on. Newer models looks thinner; which is far from the original Genta sketches I assume. Help

@HafizJMehmood 3 жыл бұрын

I personally don’t like 15500. It’s just blank and aesthetically less appealing, and lacks genta vibe. I’d take 15400 > 15300 > 15500. Above all, 15202.

@Resoluteofficial 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Hafiz, I've been enjoying your videos and I'm still going through the entire AP Royal Oak range to decide which one to get first. I started with the Chrono (new design) then went to the 26320 (due to the positioning of date window, sub dials of same dimensions and monotone dial), but now I've gone to the classics of 15500 and backwards. Although the jumbo does look nice and is ultra thin, I think having a seconds hand would be beneficial to my lifestyle and after watching your videos and analysis I think the 39mm with a broader bezel (so very similar wrist overall size to the 41mms) would be the ideal Royal Oak, as you say its the same diameter as the original Royal Oak. I know there has been a trend over the past 10-20 years to have bigger watches, but I feel that this may actually scale back over the next 10-20 years. To me the 15300 looks a little more elegant than the 15400 and 15500 (of the two I prefer the 15400 due to the inclusion of automatic on the dial). So in conclusion, I'm going to try and source a steel blue dial 15300 - thanks for your videos!

It's a beauty for sure, but I can't imagine wearing the smaller 39mm RO. So used to the 15500. Looks good on your wrist though, and your vid was excellent Hafiz!!

I’m also not a small watch person. Royal Oak 39mm is literally the only watch ever that has stayed with me even when anything below 40mm is a no go for me. I had OP39 and I sold it within weeks as it wore so small 🤯

@@HafizJMehmood I hear you brother. My 15500, 216570 and DJ2 are the largest watches I own. I love them each, but I do also love my smaller 5 digit GMT and Sub. The size works for these neo vintage pieces.

Ap15300 blue and black are quite similar in most lighting. If you have extra money. Get blue. If money is an issue. Black will do just fine. Also black has more of a sunburst effect where 15300 blue is more flat.

@HafizJMehmood 4 жыл бұрын

AP eventually want to be Boutique exclusive brand but as of now ADs are still operating and this won’t change for another 2/3 years I believe. The trouble is that all good pieces are boutique exclusive so you can still not have them from AD, like blue 15500 or 15202. But other regular dials can still be had from ADs.

@HafizJMehmood 4 жыл бұрын

SL that’s interesting. Could be some other reason. I’m based in Australia and we don’t have any AP boutique here. And all ADs are still operating and there are no upcoming plans for them to close out. That’s being said, I know in next 2/3 years, AP plan on becoming boutique only brand. Prices going up is really more about people inclining towards AP after Rolex are hitting ski high levels. And that’s creeping up AP prices slowly now.

@@HafizJMehmood I think it comes down to when the contract ends with the AD. My local dealer in Spain had the agreement come to an end with Audemars Piguet and they couldn't renew it, however they can still arrange an official service.
