Incoming - Silver dial 15450 RO
I have been eyeing the 15450 RO for a long while. I wanted the blue dial at first due to the historical significance of the Jumbo being blue with the petite tapisserie patterns. It is mesmerizing to look at that blue tapisserie dial. However, the 15450 is 37mm and the blue dial seem a little lacking due to its smaller size. I opted to go with the silver dial. IMO it looks more cohesive with the dial blending into the bezel to give it more present compared to the darker dials in this series where the dials contrast with the bezel instead.

The grande tapisserie silver dial is no slouch when the lights dancing/bouncing off of it. It is truly a work of arts. Cheers!

I agree that the white/silver dial actually looks better, IMO, on this reference. The blue seems to make the watch look to small and whereas the lighter dial makes it certain look larger/to have more of a presence. Congrats

Yes I did. However, I used Rolex currency therefore it wasn’t too bad of a hit.

The bracelet should fit your 6 3/4" wrist perfectly without taking out or adding more link.

Congrats!

Same here on the white dial of this model. Maybe I’ll reserve the blue dial for the 38mm ROC. I think this one will stay in the collection for the duration. Cheers

Ignore that women’s watch comment probably from new collector or overweight guy. Watch fits you perfectly.
