need opinion: should i do it? RO 15450 vs 15500
Dear All,
Really need help and insights because I'm torn: I'm waiting for a blue 15500 but my dealer called today, first he told me that there is no line of sight on when my watch could arrive and that it would most probably not be before several years...
But then he also said that he can get me 15450 blue RO... I did not really consider 37mm before but now I'm really hesitating
Pros
- Blue dial, blue dial, blue dial 
- I always loved the 15300, difference is not huge
- 37mm is really close to the original Genta size / design
- RO wears large anyway
Cons
- Movement is the 3120, not the new generation (had issues with 3120 on my Offshore)
- Retail price is almost the same but not sure about retail. No intention to sale for now but who knows what happens in life, good to know I won't lose an arm on the second hand market
- I'm not in a rush and could always wait more for 15500 (unless it gets discontinued / price increases too much by the time it comes)
==> Would you do it?
Cheers
Seb

My thoughts Seb
First and foremost, I always feel it is better to get the one your heart is committed to. If that is the 15500, then I would wait for it. That said... IMO, the 37mm "looks" better than the 41mm in these 2 particular references. I have compared them side b...
thanks!
That's actually why i'm so hesitant... in theory i find the 15500 dial a tad too "empty" and preferred the 39mm RO, but i never actually tried a 15500... In pictures I almost prefer the 37mm but never considered it before the call this morning so it's alm...
I’ve considered the same question
A couple of thoughts: 1. Like all ROs, the 15450 wears larger than its stated size. It is in fact the only RO that conforms to my wrist. 2. As you know, this is the smallest of the available variants, and it is thus sometimes described as “unisex” or occa...
