Royal Oak 14790ST vs 15450ST

Which one do you prefer for day to day? Which movement is more reliable?
The size of both is ideal for me.





14790ST








15450ST

15450ST. Everything about the watch feel more modern and robust (clasp, bracelet, dial layout...). The newer movement is also more resistant to magnetism and shocks.
But it is almost double as expensive...

What he said Plus the 15450 has a clear caseback, so you can admire the nicely finished workhouse caliber 3120.

Petrol blue dial is more dynamic on the 450 too.

Could they be used (both 14790 and 15450) on the beach and in the pool? Both have screwed crown?

Having owned both I have to say 15450 hands down.

Also the build quality is probably much better on modern royal oaks
