I need your opinion for first AP

[Robs]

Hey there friends, since i started collecting watches Ive been in love with AP watches, considering them the best of the best, and right now im able to get my first one, the question is, what should I get for my first AP? the two options I have in mind is the AP Royal Oak 15400 black dial or the AP Diver.


Thanks a lot for your opinion!

What are your pros and cons for each

[cdnyc]

cant go wrong with either. think it comes down to whether you're looking to add something more on the sporty, trendy side (diver) or more on the classic side. both satisfy all those attributes reasonably well, but I'd say that's the small relative positioning difference.

Diver on bracelet...best of both worlds

[Hairdude1]

I vote 15400 as I have a 15300

[bayerische]

15202 or 15300.

The 15400 looks out of proportions. IMHO.

if you can... but if you don't plan to buy one when you go, DON'T bring money because you will go home with one!!!

My first (currently only one) is an older model...15000...simple and sporty.

For your first one I would recommend the 15400 over the Diver as it is way more versatile. For a first AP I would search for a 15300 or a Jumbo.

I second the others with either a 15300/15400 or Jumbo.

If you are "average" height and build, get the 15300. If you are very tall then get the 15400.

And don't get black, blue is much nicer looking and sporty. Black is the least popular of the three main colors.

Hey friends, thanks for the comments, right now im leaning towards the 15400, but still in love with the AP Diver, i think i will go and try them both over the weekend! does anyone have both of them?

Owned and sold both, miss the 15300 the most.

[mineral]

15400 may be better choice to start. It is classic and never go out dated.

[Langleyz]

Love both. I chose the Diver.

[Sam Philip]

15400

[Htab]

Diver for me

[ddczre]

I am also facing this decision. Would anyone consider one of these more "sturdy" then the other for daily wear?

Both are equally sturdy and perfect for everyday wear.

[Dickson Lim]

Both are equally good as first, just choose which one that you love better on the wrist!

[Robs]

thanks everyone for your opinion, im going to check out both babies today!

[mb23]

I own a 15400 and a Diver and both give a completely different look. The Diver does have more of a sport feel and is extremely comfortable almost non existent on your wrist. But, the brushed lines of the 15400 and the full bracelet are something that has to been seen to admire and it screams class! I love both so, and you cant go wrong with either!

[eric23]

Diver!

[AK797]

Tough call, some days Id say Diver other days 15400...

[ddczre]

I guess someday ill have both but for now went with the Diver and LOVE it! I'm trying to order the bracelet for it but looks like a 3+ month back order. Guess that will make me really appreciate it that much more when it finally arrives! Really appreciate all of the input.
