If they dont give him a discount on the 15400 i doubt they would even bother with the jumbo

Prefer the white dial much more over the black dial but the blue dial is better than both

$17,800 is way to steep you can get a new one but not from an AD less than $16,000

Really??? I wore my 5712 with jeans and t shirts and polos 80% of the time and it looked great, I let it go for other reasons but am getting it back in a few months as soon as I finish a few things

I saw the blue dial in pics and didn't do it for me. The silver is awesome.

I got the 15300 and then got the VC overseas black

VC isnt as refined or pretty like the AP hence I wear the VC more often as its looks hardier and easier to wear day to day.

AP for special occasions

RO braclet sizing

I bought a RO 15400 went to my local AD for sizing but he couldnt since he said the screws on the links had thread lock and didnt have a "heating device" is it that complicated? Can any trusted watch shop size it?

I use a hair dryer to loosen the thread lock.

Took it to an independent watch shop, he was able to size it with no issues and only charged $10 compared to the $40 the AD wanted.
Will post pics soon.
