As a former 15300 owner and lover, don't you think you guys are being a bit over dramatic on the "bloated" and "fun house mirror" comments? A 39mm RO compared to a 44mm ROO is definitely a big jump, but the 15300 and 15400 are not that drastically different.

THIS

The 26320 IMO is more proportional than the 26300.

@Spencer - as mentioned in my previous post, the use of "bloated" was a poor choice of word to describe the proportions of the 15400. Again, having owned several 39mm and 41mm RO + ROCs, the 39mm is definitely my personal preference.

Now I am worried I am picking up my 15400 in a few weeks and think I may have made a poor choice....oh well, in Australia it is a battle to get anything, I don't expect I will have a problem. My wrist is 7.5in so i am sure I will be fine.

It does sound like a bit of a 21st century problem, I think they are both lovely watches.

As my wife mentions to me a couple times, 2mm makes a huge difference. :) :) :)

I would favor the color dial, I had the 15300 black dial and I really wish it could be Blue or silver

15300 gets my vote

Fair enough.

Funny how sometime people interpret online posts, emails, texts, etc as if they are malicious when more often than not they are not. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether popular or not. And in this case, let's be honest you cannot go wrong with either the 15300 or 15400. Both are gorgeous watches and are pleasures to wear and own.

Now that is funny

the 15400 is indeed the way to go.. bigger watches are in trend now and the 41mm just feels right without being too offshore big..

now that u mentioned u have the option of a blue dial, i think it would be wrong if u didnt opt for it.. its to die for..

Snow-Dweller · 2 December 2014, 10:06 AM

I have 7.5 inch wrists and feel the 41mm of the 15400 fits me better than the 39mm.

I prefer the logo placement on the 15400, I prefer the date-wheel arrangement on the 15400, and I even like the "nubby" marker at 3 o'clock!

I wouldn't worry, for your wrist the 400 is ideal. However if you were to feel the dial was a touch wide just throw some subdials in there.

Yeah, i have a 6.5 wrist, so the 39mm fits me perfectly.

Depends how big is your wrist.
