15400OR VS AP safari26170ST
After doing the comparison between 15400OR and 25320OR for a while, i 've "KINDA" decided to go for 15400OR due to its in-house movement, but i recently bumped into a friend who wore an AP offshore safari, and i suddenly fell for it after tried it on, loved its look, but the only downside is 44mm bezel looked a bit big and chunky on my wrist, although its a absolutely stunning watch, and it really stands out from its thickness and manly look..but i'm still kinda favor 15400OR though, i know they are completely two types of watches, but i've tried both on, they both look great, or should i go back to 26320OR?( sorry for beijing so indecisive) can i get some input-votes on these these? thanks so much!!!

as you wrote: "they are completely two types of watches"
so you can´t find real help. You only become answers from people who tells you about there own personal preference, So - there is only on way: Find you´re own preference! regards Stephan
This is true, but ...
... the value of these questions is that it allows owners to describe what they like and don't like about the watches in question. Sometimes they point out aspects you hadn't considered. They allow you see something new through their eyes. And even better...
of course, i don´t wanted to ...
put this thread into question. I only want to make clear, that if someone has to find a decisssion between two really differnet watches, his own feelings are the most important, because owners, who loves there own watches find the most arguments for them ...
I agree completely, Stephan ...
... and I just re-read my reply and fear it came across as overly 'preachy'. Apologies for that. As PuristS we should look deeply into what is special or not about a watch, even (particularly) the ones we buy for our own collections. I do trust (some) Pur...
Non-Offshore chrono...
I say go for the non-offshore chrono. This way you get "some" of the wrsit presense that the Offshore has (plus the new size 41mm) and at the same time you still get am elegant refined watch that is not as loud as the Offshore. Good luck anyways :)
My choice
My choice is the 15400 as i have owned the safari years ago and it didn't last long. I feel the royal oak is a classic and I love the new size and dials of the 41mm. The 15400 is closer to the original 1970's design and will become a new classic IMHO.
Nothing to do with quality
Apologies for not being clear. The watch worked well I just lost interest quickly.
so you think 15400OR is more of a quality watch over safari?
i see what you meant, and i feel the same for 15400or, plus i have a relatively small wrist, so i think rose gold would suit me better? did you interest on safari's look? cuz its a quite popular offshore watch.
Not at all
Like I said before quality wise they are all the same I just feel the royal oaks are timeless and the safari is a theme watch that will go out of style eventually.
