My 15400 still looks pristine, minus one tiny ding at the very edge of the bezel that I got two days after I received it (wife was trying to put her hand on top of mine and the bottom of her ring hit it). I think because it sits so close to the wrist, that it has been somewhat protected.

I could see how scratches could be an issue with how high the SS Diver sits on the wrist.

I actually have more scratches on my Daytona than my Jumbo... and I had the Jumbo for a few months longer than the Daytona.

x2. The PCLs on my Daytona showed more scratches and swirls than my RO does.

What serial is the watch you are looking at? Your BLNR plus $3,000 seems to be a good deal

Definitely would not!

tylerad1 · 27 October 2015, 11:24 AM

Definitely would do! 15400 is well worth it!

HL65 · 27 October 2015, 07:47 PM

Keep the BLNR...One of my favorite SS watches overall.

Cru Jones · 27 October 2015, 09:12 PM

since you're looking used anyway, i would look at flipping toward a 15300.

I actually prefer the newer model.

eonflux · 28 October 2015, 05:10 AM

The BLNR is such an awesome watch. And the Easylink is a big bonus.
The 15400 is a much "nicer" watch, but may not be as versatile.
If I had to make a switch, maybe for the blue 15400 rather than the other dials.

Tan · 28 October 2015, 05:19 AM

100% make the swap

gummy · 28 October 2015, 05:20 AM

Trade It!

15400 so smooth!

RHIII · 29 October 2015, 10:10 AM

Think of it this way...easy to reverse if you changed your mind....

ragingcao · 29 October 2015, 10:13 AM

Tough call but I think I would

gmt3 · 29 October 2015, 02:12 PM

You have a good deal there with only $3k to add. I'd say go for it! Good luck!

That's a fair comment

thehoracle · 4 November 2015, 01:09 AM

At the end of the day I ended up keeping the BLNR and selling the Hulk

Would certainly not give up the BLNR for one though.
If the BLNR actually does nothing for you anymore, then by all means do it.
If the scratch prone PCLs is what bothers you about the BLNR, the RO gets marked by just looking at it.

Ideally I would add one whenever I can.

Good luck!

You never said the hulk was on the table. With that said, if I had both and had to trade one for the 15400, I'd have chosen the hulk as well. Congrats on the incoming

The realization hit me that I wasn't looking at the right watch to trade. Thanks!

The chance of this being a blue dial is low. Blue dials are worth much more than the other dials and people dont seem to sell or trade them once they have them.

Yeah blue dial is $$$$$

lmcgbaj · 4 November 2015, 05:42 AM

15202 Hell Yes.
15300 Yes.
15400 Unless you have very large wrists.... mhhhh pass..

I've owned both 15300 and 15400 several times. :)

7" to be exact. I tried on the 400 and like the size, but I definitely know what you mean the 300 is a bit more "perfect" size-wise.
