AP 15300or wristshots - opinions
Hey guys,Being an avid AP lover I'm starting to look out for a 15300or, black dial on alligator strap. In my opinion it's on of the most beautiful RO's.Since I became a member of different watchforums a few years ago I feel that we rarely see some wristshots of a 15300or. So, let's post some here... :)I have just started searching for one and I will take the necessary time until I find the perfect watch and seller! In the meantime show me some wristies :).Feel free to post your opinion on the 15300or as well!!! Thanks!Stijn

PO 42mm vs 45mm Tip
Hey everybody. I just wanted to start a small thread about a problem that I recently encountered, which I overcame with some good advice. Hopefully in sharing this, the choice will be clearer for everybody else!I took a trip to a local Omega AD simply to look at the models in person and make my mind up about which one would look best on me. For reference, my wrist is just under 7 inches. When looking at the two side by side, something about the larger/crystal really appealed to me on the 45mm. However, the salesperson told me to walk over to the mirror, and look at both on my wrist in two ways - with short sleeves and with my shirt cuff over part of the watch (to see how it would look during summer and winder respectively). After doing this it couldn't have been more obvious that the 42mm looked better! I saw this and was certain beyond a doubt that 42mm was the right size for me. I am relieved to have that part of the decision cleared up. I recommend this technique to anyone
