15400 vs 15510
Hi everyone. I’m currently debating between a steel 15400 and a 15510 for my first Royal Oak. I’m not a huge fan of the 15500 so would consider that one ruled out.
I know the 15510 has the upgraded movement and other tweaks, but I’m curious hearing from others who have either owned or handled both what your honest thoughts are. They both seem like amazing watches to me, but would love to hear some perspectives including which one you prefer and why! Thanks in advance ![]() |

The 15510 has a thinner and more comfortable bracelet. The dial layout also makes it look bigger.

Agree with your first sentence although for some reason I find the 15510 to wear smaller than the 15400. I found the 15500 to wear the largest by quite some margin compared to the 2 in consideration. I like the larger movement in the 15510 also it fills the watch more appropriately and looks nicer through the case back. Nice choice to be making OP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's a tough decision! Both the 15400 and 15510 are incredible pieces. The 15400 has that classic Royal Oak charm, while the 15510 offers the latest upgrades and improvements. If you value a more traditional design, the 15400 might be the way to go.

Both 41mm are too big for my wrist unless my muscles upgrade to Super Saiyan.

Maybe consider getting instead a 15300 at 39mm (which wears big)…..

I'm not a huge fan of the dial design. The AP logo to me feels like a bit of an afterthought with the lack of the automatic text and I also don't like the shortened hour markers and minute track.

15400 vs 15510
Because pictures make every thread better.
![]() When the 15500 first came out I preferred the 15400 because it felt like it had less empty space and I preferred the 3 0clock marker. Now that they have lengthened the markers , moved the date to the edge and simplified the dial I now find myself preferring the new 15510 to the 15400. Love love love the black dial. I’m not an owner and FWIW I prefer the 15550 on my wrist so factor that into your decision process. The 41mm looks better to me on a computer screen but in person the 37mm looks better to me on wrist. YMMV. Good Luck either way. Always been a grail of mine ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. |
