Feedback on RO 15450 and 14790 requested

Hi everyone,

I am actively hunting for a royal oak that suits me. However with my 6 inch wrist this has proven tough so far.

I have been smitten with the 15202 for the longest time but unfortunately it doesn't fit me well.. Too big for me and the bracelet leaves gaps between the wrist.. I'm a stickler for fit you see.

I've thus narrowed it down to the 15450 and 14790. Could owners thus provide feedback on how they wear? Also is one more desirable than the other? I know the 15450 has the inhouse 3120 movement, but am not sure about the 14790, which was around for a longer period of time but now discontinued..

Any thoughts and opinions are most welcome! If you have alternatives for me to consider I would welcome them too!

Thanks all..

I must admit, I have had the 15450 on my wrist several times, and I am quite impressed with it. It exudes AP's quality and refinement, and I honestly think the proportions on the watch are perfect. I am also a big fan of the Caliber 3120. It is robust, ea...

Thanks for your advice..

.. Michael.. Your words sway me very strongly toward the 15450!

Struggled with that for a while

but am a happy owner of the 15450 today. I listed a few things I looked for and at in making my choice between this and the larger 15400 and more iconic 15202 in a post earlier today. Sounds like similar thoughts and feelings that I had, though I am not v...
