OmegaOverlord 0 Posted June 24, 2015 So after browsing the forums for a while, I came across an AP 15300 for sale on the M2M market. The watch looked great and after a little bit of deliberation I took the plunge and agreed with the seller to purchase his 15300. Now I was cautious over this sale I usually love my Omegas and Tags and this would be the first rep I have bought that is an AP. I have always loved the design of the Royal Oak however in the past just never made that move to purchase it till now. I have had the watch for a total of 24 hours and can officially say. I LOVE IT Its gorgeous to look at feels great on the wrist and fits perfectly. The rep is astounding quality and for the low price I paid its great. One small issue with it the crown is a little stiff when changing the date and time but other than thats its brilliant. I do plan to do a longer more in-depth review after having owned the watch for at least a month however here are some initial shots of the lovely classic timepiece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomsegura 0 Posted June 24, 2015 Looks Great I love the Royal Oak 15400 and 15300 series. Enjoy the watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted June 24, 2015 I want one of these. 39 is a great size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah 39mm is perfect proportions in my opinion. The only issue I have with this version is that the caseback is a lot thicker to accommodate the thicker engraved rotor. One of the great features of the gen is how slim it is, and this version doesn't live up to that. But it's a great rep other than that!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted June 24, 2015 Can you a 39 that is "gen" slim? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted June 24, 2015 Can you a 39 that is "gen" slim? Yeah the older 15300 rep, which has the same movement but with a slightly less decorated standard gold rotor, this was mine... Admittedly the rotor is nowhere near as nice but it sits so nice and slim I the wrist, just like the gen! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admittedly the rotor is nowhere near as nice but it sits so nice and slim I the wrist, just like the gen! DC Thanks for that!! I am looking for a model that has the correct case as I don't worry about the rotor at all. But: Are you sure about the thickness? I found both models on Toro's website and here the dimensions are the other way round: 11mm thick and less decorated model with SWISS ETA: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_49&product_id=700 9mm thick and more decorated model with ASIAN ETA http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_49&product_id=1121 Besides the 100 bucks differece, it seems that the ASIAN ETA has the thinner design and thus sits lower?! Or has toro maybe mixed the dimensions? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted January 17, 2016 ^^ Pay no attention to Toros case thickness measurements, I have an AP 15202 that he lists as 11mm thick and it's actually 8mm thick, so you can't rely on them at all!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC Ok thanks! BTW, Toro just mailed me that both models are 39x9.5mm. I think I will go with the asian eta and save the 100USD. I am just waiting for my classic fusion to arrive and when I am happy, I will pull the trigger on that one:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
