I’ve been considering getting a 37mm ROO (15450) and my SA has the black dial with diamonds in stock, can also order the blue dial 15451 for MSRP.

It’s only a bit more than the base steel and I actually quite like the look - that bezel is a scratch magnet so maybe diamonds can hide that... plus it’s a much shorter wait

I know the 37mm is unisex and quite a few male members here have one. But with diamonds, is it pushing too much towards a ladies watch? Just don’t want to be mistaken wearing the wife’s at the next G2G

To each their own, but personally I do find it a feminine look (my SA in Singapore wore that watch and it looked great on her).

And at about $5.5K more, I think that’s a pretty significant price premium.

Yes, it would hide/prevent bezel scratches, but the brushed bezel is one of my favorite features of the traditional Royal Oak. That’s one of the reasons I passed on an IP RO.

And yes, this watch with diamonds is more available than the 15450STs.

I personally would not

The 15450 is feminine enough on it's own...

ppalasthira · 18 March 2019, 12:54 PM

Yes, I have tried it on.

I can say that the watch definitely looks feminine alright. Even on my 6 1/4 inch wrist!

No go for me.

What's your wrist size?

HK Islandboy · 18 March 2019, 01:29 PM

Not for me

Vaxe · 18 March 2019, 01:51 PM

About 7”, here’s the 44 for reference

I couldn't/wouldn't do it.

My sister in law has a blue dial, got almost 20% off retail. It looked very small on my 6.5-6.75 wrist.

Nope

Somehow I feel baguettes would work better for you

Mainewatchman · 19 March 2019, 04:57 AM

No thanks.

With discount, then I suppose the price premium does disappear.

AK797 · 19 March 2019, 06:47 AM

Diamonds are not my forever.

V25V · 19 March 2019, 06:56 AM

No.

I think is to feminine with diamonds.
My Opinion.

Johndong888 · 19 March 2019, 12:11 PM

Nooooo! 7” wrist can’t pull off the 37mm, especially since you have a 44 ROO

Trust me. Just the size alone is quite feminine. Try the 39mm

15300 for you

Vaxe · 20 March 2019, 12:01 PM

Thanks all for the suggestions - definitely not getting diamonds now.
Deposit made, just waiting for the call in a few weeks!

inadeje · 24 March 2019, 12:16 PM

I would not contemplate buying this watch and certainly wouldn’t wear it.

benlee · 24 March 2019, 01:29 PM

No way I am wearing that.
