15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 vs. 15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02
Good day Gents
I am considering a purchase that id quite frankly like to understand a bit more before pulling the trigger, the following RO models are my options: 15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 - Black Dial, Diamond Bezel 15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02 - Grey Dial, Diamond Bezel Kindly let me know if the Grey Dial is a superior product, i am told it is more rare and difficult to source, whilst the black dial is more readily available. Theres a price difference of approx. 23%; although i do like the black dial on the wrist, i want to be sure its the most sensible decision. |

With that said, I would also like to suggest that you consider the silver dial variant, which appears to only come on a leather strap, but for which a bracelet could no doubt be purchased separately. I think that this piece has a great subtlety, with a lower contrast between the diamond bezel and the silver dial. Equally, I think the silver dial is superior to the black (or grey dials) and that the diamonds will anyway not be visually "lost" on the piece either. |

Whilst the 15202 is a wonderful piece in its own right, it is very different from those pieces that you are considering - no doubt for the reasons you mention. One other consideration that may put your mind at ease ruling it out is the different size, which may not fit your wrist well, if you are comfortable with the 37mm case of the models that you suggested. |

Ive been doing research concerning the pricing of these pieces. From my research it appears that the price range in the grey market ranges between 18k and 21k. I have been offered one at the upper end of 19k.
In your opinions, i) is this a decent price? ii) please recommend alternatives in the same brand/price range with a max. case diameter of 40mm. |

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have tried searching the forums talking about this particular model.
Just out of curiosity, any idea if the bezel (if badly damaged after years of use), is possible to replace? This is taking into account the diamonds embedded in it. And also, is the leather strap replaceable with a steel bracelet? Many thanks. |

The two models the OP was discussing come on a bracelet. You could however take the bracelet off and put it on leather. |
