RO 15400 for Diver
So I've been toying with the idea of trading in my 15400 for a Diver. Mainly because I think I would wear the Diver more because of its casual nature. Has anyone gone this route and regretted it?
Does anyone have any side to side comparisons? |

I added and would strongly recommend that if it's an option. Love the diver (had two, still have one) but you will find times where only a RO will do.

Im actually thinking the same thing. Thinking I would get ripped on the trade. I have a rolex sub and it gets lots more wrist time due to the way the ro scratches. I do think the rubber on the diver suits my lifestyle better.

I went from 15400 to the diver and I didn't regret it at all. The diver is absolutely wonderful!

I would do it in a heartbeat, especially since you think you'd wear it more.

Thanks guys. I like the option of throwing a bracelet on the Diver too if I want.....or even a leather strap.

For what it's worth...The Diver was my first AP.
Flipped it and it's the only one I really miss wearing. To me it's very versatile... |

Depends if you have the wrists to pull it off.

Here is a 42mm Panda. I think the Diver will fit size wise...
