15400 blue vs 15202?
Hi everyone, so I'm looking into getting my first ap and am just enamoured by the 15400 blue or the jumbo and was hoping for some advice. The watch would be my new daily wearer and I was wondering which would you choose and why? Which would be sturdier and less prone to issues? Thanks in advance for any and all help! It's greatly appreciated!

So, I guess I'm going to join the club!
Well I am officially getting into the world of AP. I found a like new 15300 white dial. I am so excited I can't even stand it. I have been going back and forth between the Royal Oak 15X00 and the Breguet Big Date. And the 15300 won out, I figure it is a good of time as any to pick one up as they aren't going to get more plentiful! Ok, so this is a somewhat useless thread seeing as I have no pictures yet, but I just had to share my excitement with my TRF buddies! Will post pics when it arrives.

I found oem quality spring bars for 44mm Chronomat dive straps
I found reasonably priced OEM Breitling 23mm x 1.8mm stainless steel spring bars to be used with the 44mm Chronomat series of watches with 22mm lugs. Any time you switch from a bracelet to a strap, it is advised to go up 1mm in spring bar size. So a 22mm lug should have a 23mm spring bar with a strap. This way any twisting of the strap will not cause the spring bar to fall out. If I use the OEM 22mm spring bars that are used for the pilot bracelet with the Pro 3 Dive strap, I can push on one side of the strap by the case and the spring bar will compress enough to POP OUT. A 23mm spring bar locks the rubber strap in solid and any amount of strap force wont push the spring bar out. That 1mm longer collar makes all the difference in strength and security. I dive with my watches and have been very particular with what spring bars I use with rubber dive straps on all my watches. Omega also goes up 1mm in their straps over the bracelet and have been doing this for years wi

Watches on sale as bnib but way less than msrp
One question been puzzling me. I see lots of bnib watches for sale at way less than mrsp eg 116619lb PM Smurf on sale for $26k a few weeks old when the msrp is over $36k. Plus lots of others that are less than cost. Who is taking the hit on these if they are sold at cost - and if not how can the trusted sellers make cash on them ??
