First AP! True Blue...
I've been hunting for a blue-dialed RO for some time. I really like the 15202, but the cost and availability is not optimal. The 15300 and 15400 are both fantastic pieces, but the 15400 won out in the end.

The finishing on this watch is fantastic...so much nicer than on anything else that I've owned. And the dial...oh, that dial! It is magical. It changes colors and the markers have a 3D effect that make them seem to float over the dial at certain angles. I'm also happy I went with the blue. All the dial colors are beautiful, but blue provides me some contrast to all my other black-dialed pieces.

This one will be on the wrist for a while.

Fantastic choice!

Not sure if it's the lighting in the pics but this blue looks darker and more 3D dimensional than 15300...

The dial is a chameleon. Changes hues depending on lighting and angle. It's gorgeous.

Frankly, you can't go wrong with any color. Blue to me is classic RO plus I've never had a blue dialed watch before.
