Both look great on you, and you can't go wrong with either.

I wouldn't worry too much about it fitting under a shirt cuff. With no thick clasp, like Rolex sport models, and a case thickness below 10mm, I don't think you will have a problem with either getting under a shirt cuff.

For your wrist size, I will say 37mm.

RO DNA = 39mm and blue dial. Looks great on you.

This is not a dress watch. My vote is for the sporty luxury of the blue 15300.

I like the size of the 450 on you better, buy like the 300 dial.

Royal Oaks are so tricky when it comes to size, I used to own a 15300 and then traded for a 15400, I really wish I didn't.

I will someday look for a 15300 again or upgrade to a 15202.

I think the smaller looks much better on your wrist. It really comes down to what is in your heart, do you want it to be an understated dress watch or a larger sports watch, once you know that you know the answer. my 15400 wears big but I am OK as all my other watches tend to wear closer to dress watches so I have choices.

I highly recommend the 15300. 39mm is not oversized and moreover still look good on you.

Going to try them both again next week when I'm baxk home and see which sings better.
Leaning towards the 15450 to be honest.
Gives me diversity on the white dial compared to my current black dial rolex, not to mention a dressier look, also more diversity.

its a shame they don't make the 15450 in blue.... :(

I really wish they did and I'm hoping for it to come out eventually.....
definitely like the blue dial better, but the 15450 looks like the better fit.

Anyone know why they don't make a blue dial for this size? Or even the black dial with stainless steel? I feel like it would sell like crazy...

Get the 15450, I've got one and love it. The dial is amazing in the sunlight and beats the 15300 white dial by a mile.

In regards to a blue dialed 15450, my AD said these are available, but only through the boutiques. Not sure if this is true or not - I've never seen a blue dialed 15450

I think the 450 looks better on your wrist, more elegant. The white/silver dial is gorgeous.
