That 37mm RO is absolute perfection on your wrist. Congrats.
37mm for the win. Looks marvelous on your wrist.
I think I've found my future grail watch!!
It’s spectacular in person. In camera, despite all the 4K details, I couldn’t even capture half of the beauty. All the best.
I just bought this, and was worried it would be too small for my 6.4-inch wrist - but it's absolutely perfect (i'm used to 5 digit 40mm rolex). I would even say that even on your wrist Hafiz, the 15450 seems to hug down on your wrist better than the 15400...
Many congrats on your acquisition. It’s a lovely piece indeed.
The 37mm does contour an hug better indeed - no doubt. I am going to review two tone 15450 soon and will do a comparison between 37, 39 and 41mm soon. Stay tuned :)
@@HafizJMehmood
Yes, Contour was the word I was looking for :-) Awesome - are all the watches yours, or borrowed? You got the best new channel on YT. Good job! :-)
@@HafizJMehmood Btw, if you could do a review on the 26315ST 38mm grey dial.... Wow....
No, not all mine of course. I wish I could afford them all. I’m mostly borrowing but I have bought a few watches only for the review. Will then move them to buy something else for the review 😅
The only watches that have stayed with me are my APs.
Yes, I’ll try to get hold of the 38mm too. Let’s see how we go :)
I have worn it at athens boutique before five years. The bracelet closed difficult ( i have 18cm wrist). An extra bracelet piece was needed. The size of case was beautiful, unstead of the 41 mm. My opinion that the perfect royal oaks are 39 mm.
Perfect size in my opinion.
+Yoma Arka cheers. It wears nice indeed :)
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL
Royal Oaks wear two millimeters larger than their diameter. This wears similar to a 39mm normal round watch on a bracelet. So i think anywhere from a 6to 7inches wrist, this is your perfect size RO. 39mm is called the Jumbo for a reason, it suggests that it's a big watch. The 41mm is HUGE.
HI Hafiz, I really like to see a complete review of the 37mm with blue dial. I am eying that one.
Thanks Hafiz. After watching the video I am now more convinced that I prefer the jumbo 39mm even though I have a smaller wrist. The specs especially the narrower bracelet for 37mm seems to be a concern.
Hi. There’s no Royal Oak in existence that can compete with jumbo. Personally, I agree, 37mm RO and even 38mm ROC have too narrow bracelets and I find the dial a touch too small for my liking.
Besides the annoying background music your videos are the best on YT 🙂✌️
Best reference of the RO imo
I agree. I was under the impression it was too small but it actually wears really nice. And the wrist shot above is probably already demonstrating that. Thanks for watching :)
agreed
Chris have you ever seen a 15300st 39mm?
AP should do more 37mm wristwatches.
I think they might have just listened to you when they launched the new 38mm chronos this year ;)
@@HafizJMehmood 37mm is the gentleman size. 41mm is for rappers and insecure people.
Alejandro Alartiz ha ha. I like this perspective. And to be honest; looking at the new 15500; I tend to agree with you. That 41mm looks truly to be focused on rappers (I wouldn’t say insecure tho).
15400 was elegant and had a classic look that’s now sadly gone in 41mm RO.
Another brilliant video
Beautiful watch, which fits you perfectly. Better in my mind than the 41 mm. I must admit however that the 15202ST fits you wrist just as well, and is the more special and spectacular watch for many reasons but primarily because of its ratio of area to height. To my great satisfaction I see that Audemars have recently introduced a self winding 34 mm reference 77350ST with a height of just 8,8 mm. This should make a wonderful watch for watch enthusiasts with wrist sizes of 15,5 cm or below.
Thanks so much :) 15202 is truly a matchless piece. It’s very, very well balanced.
Love your videos! You seem to know ap watches really well, do you know if there is any difference between the 2016 15450 and the current version?
No, I don’t think there are any differences made in 15450 in last 3-4 years.
Just tried RO on today. Great video
Thanks so much. How did you go with your viewing? It’s absolutely stunning watch :)
Great video as always!
Many thanks mate for watching and the support :)
Great review
Thanks so much. Do check my latest reviews too pls; you’d sure love them.
I’m saving up for this exact watch right now:)
Great choice mate. Hope you grab your soon. I also hope my review has made the wait a bit harder for you too 😌
Hafiz J Mehmood Hahaha, it did make it harder😂😂😂 The watch looks awesome on you! #WatchEnvy
Great videos mate
Thanks so much for watching and the support :)
Stay tuned ;)
15450 Perfect size.Grate Review.
+JORGE thanks so much mate. It’s a stunning watch indeed :)
I’m in two minds,....should I get the Rolex GMT 2 Pepsi in jubilee bracelet or this amazing 37mm royal Oak?
Hmm. Just so you know I don’t own any shares with AP, so my comments are purely from what I’ve seen and experienced; I will never prefer Rolex over AP. The craftsmanship, finish and experience you get with them is truly beyond compare.
@@HafizJMehmood .... alright then I'll keep an eye out for the AP. It's much harder to come by then a Pepsi.
Have the Rolex Pepsi on Jubilee and super comfortable to wear in a hot climate. Plus it’s a jeans sporty watch. You can always sell the Pepsi in a flash, AP 37mm you will struggle to even sell at a premium. The AP looks less sporty and if your wrist is on the small side will sit nicer and more dressier. Both are nice and wear it in good health.
@@USA79999 Are you sure about struggling to sell the AP 37mm at a premium? How difficult is it to get the AP at retail cost?
How do you think this 37mm model would look on the 7.1 inch wrist of a 6’1”” guy who weighs 215 lbs?
I personally think it’d be a tad small. I don’t have issues with the size in general but the way the bracelet tapers down to go really tiny.
But for 7.1” wrist, it may not be too bad as you can see in my wrist shots, it doesn’t wear too small so really depends on if you prefer smaller watches or larger.
Hallo first thank you for your videos I like it. 👍 I have a question : I am a small sporty guy 1.70 thin bones , now I don't know what watch is better this one 37 mm or the ultra thin 39 mm what i saw also in your other video because this one is thicker as the 39 but smaller . Sorry for my English , thank you 🖐🖐
D G the 39 is great but the Royal Oaks tend to wear a bit larger and the 37 is still under 10mm thick (or thin rather). If youre a smaller guy you should at least try the 37mm!
Hey Hafiz, where did you het that shirt! I love that print!
Cheers mate. That was from Jack London.
I just wish it had better waterproofing
Tbh, 50 meters isn’t bad either. You can swim with it without problems. And that’s really the deepest you’d want to take it.
Remember it doesn’t have a ceramic bezel so even if it was a diving watch, I’d be concerned to come out with scratched bezel.
I actually think the 50m water resistance works well for what this watch is aimed to deliver - a luxurious experience without having to worry about water ingress in a day to day use.
I remember in one of your videos you said that you have 2 of this exact model. Is there any Chance you would sell one of them?
Nice vid again Hafiz. Is there no 39mm current model? That would seen the sweet spot.
Many thanks mate. The only 39mm is now 15202. So no 39mm with seconds hand or the same rugged movement. The only 39mm that came out with seconds hand and Calibre3120 was 15300 that was replaced by this and 15400.
isnt 37mm not to small? i dont know i have a 40mm submariner but think about bying this watch
im a liitle concerned about the size
I’ve tried the 41mm AP and the 40mm Sub and the AP feels much much bigger.
@@paullincoln ok thanks
The 37mm Royal Oak is more like 39mm oyster perpetual. It has slightly lower footprint compared to 40mm Rolex.
41mm Royal Oak is more like 43mm watch.
I have photos of 37mm Royal Oak and 40mm Rolex side by side that I’ve shared on my instagram gallery too.
Feel free to check me out on insta at horolojust or send me a message there and I can send you photos for comparison.
Hafiz J Mehmood agreed. And what got me about the 41mm AP RO is the lug height. On a 7” wrist the lugs almost overshoot the wrist
Not sure why it’s overshooting mate. My wrist size is 6.5” and this is how 41mm RO wears on my tiny wrist. I’m actually pretty happy with it.

I got AP royal oak 15400 in blue Dail. It's lovely but really big on my wrist. And even sit down properly because it got heavy dial. Always fell down on hand. If I take off one more link out then it's more tight on my wrist. My wrist size is 6.5inch. Is there any micro adjustment????.
Shall I go for 39mm ulta slim or 37mm.Ap royal oak really classic watch. But not really happy with 41mm unfortunately.
Just add 1.5 link. There’s no micro adjustment link but if adding one link makes it a tad too loose and removing the link makes it tight, the way to go is 1.5 link. You can buy from AD boutique.
Does the white dial make it feel bigger than the blue one?
Do you know or have a picture of N2122 royal oak NO.2012
is that standard bracelet size or did you need to adjust links? thank you for the video!
easter no the bracelet is adjusted to 16.5cm wrist. I believe three links removed.
That said, the additional links won’t taper down the width any further, as it gets to minimum width after first few links.
Thanks for watching ;)
@@HafizJMehmood Awesome review! Any micro-adjustment ability on the clasp?
A. S. No unfortuantely, no adjustments, unless you remove or add link using tools.
@Hafiz J Mehmood you can get the “one and a half” links by ordering to AP Boutique and thus can do a bit of micro adjustment. Just got my 15450 and ordering a new One and a Half link. Will take out 3 of the original links and put in a one and a half to make it -(1.5) instead of -1 or -2
I would like to ask which size is more suitable for my wrist 17cm 39mm or 41mm？
I would suggest 41 mm
What is the price of this watch?
Nice video. Don't discount the 41mm if you have a large wrist though - it always mystifies me when people dismiss that version as "too big" - what they really me is, "too big for me".
100% agreed. Like I mentioned in the video, I prefer 15400 over this 37mm RO any day, and that’s when I have tiny 6.5” wrists. If you look towards the end of this video, I have actually shown how 41mm wears and I truly love it.
I initially didn’t think that this 37mm was a men’s watch, but when I have tried it on, it actually doesn’t wear too bad. Many people prefer smaller sized watches over 41 or even 39mm - I won’t be able to do that as I prefer a bit of wrist presence personally - and this watch is purely for those collectors. Thanks to AP for having something in the lineup for everyone :)
Please tell me its price in Pakistani rupees
Blue or white dial?
Blue any day.
@@HafizJMehmood ❤ Thank you
You don't pronounce the S in Audemars, its not like a mars bar.
Do you pronounce the "d" though?
@@zbenne05 yes
@@harryvanderveen773 cool, come pronounce d'z nuts then Harry
@@zbenne05 No thanks, balls would have to be bigger than a marble for me to even consider it.
the movement is very dirty tho
Dirty as in the crystal or the movement itself?
15400 silver dial is the best
15400 silver is the best of both worlds 😉
Hafiz J Mehmood the only problem is that now is out of production and it costs about 20k euros
Diego Schiavi yeah that’s pretty much the case with any steel watch as of now. And the silver ones being discontinued will go up more than grey and black, I reckon. They’re still not too far from the rrp of new 15500 so maybe still a good time to grab them.
Hafiz J Mehmood honestly if i had to choose i’d go for the 15400, new ref looks more massive and less elegant in my opinion.
Diego Schiavi I personally prefer 15400 over 15500. There’s something about the thinner and longer hour indices that make it so much balanced and associated with original Genta design. I would still be adding 15500 to experience the new look and also the new movement that looks gorgeous.
But for first AP, I’d prefer 15400 over 15500.
Looks far too small. Looks like a ladies watch
