Was in London today and saw these in Bond street. Had SS, YG on bracelet and strap and a SS chrono version. Also had a 37mm one too. Now I may be biased having bought a 15300 a few months back but I'm not really a fan of the new 41mm models. To me they just look to big and flat. The bezel is thin in comparison to the size of the dial where as on the 15300 it's just about perfect. The 37mm looks tiny in the flesh too. One thing I do actually like are the double baton dials...seems to sharpen up the look a bit.

Has anyone else seen these in the shops yet?

That was my initial thoughts when I saw them, I haven't seen them in person yet but I will probably feel the same as you about them.
What did you think about the 37mm wouldn't look good on a girl?

Jumbo on the other hand was I nice release

I agree the 15300 is just perfect... AP was silly to change it...

Very happy I got the 15300 even though I did not know they were increasing the size...still very contented with my purchase...it is a keeper!

Congrats and welcome to the club

Glad I got my 15300 but a new Jumbo is in my future.

HL65 · 18 March 2012, 10:21 AM

Look forward to seeing one in person myself...

New Jumbo in rose gold,

.

I generally like gold watches on other people, but not myself. The AP ROs in rose gold are my exceptions.

Im glad I have the 15300. I think the 37mm would be too small for me and the 41mm too big.

Saw a steel 41mm RO in the window of Les Ambassadeurs in Zurich a week ago. It looked quite bigger than my 15300ST, but I didn't bother trying it on or look at it closer. I'm very happy that I was able to acquire the 15300ST last year, it's the perfect Royal Oak for me

I'm also looking forward to seeing the 41mm. I was close to buying a 15300 a few months ago but I want to see the 15400 first. I don't believe they have made their way into the US yet.
