My 15202 does not have minute markers next to the date window.

There are at least 3 different 15202 dial styles I have had in my hands over the years that have varied amounts of guilloche squares and different dial markings (font on the original 15202 dial). I have photos of a few different 15202 dials, and none have the markings you mention (not saying yours does not, maybe it is another variation).
In your photo set, if those are in fact 2 different watches, both have 30 squares across. My 15202 is 26. I cannot see white minute marks next to the date window in any of your photos, so I can't tell which is the 15202 by your definition.

The 15202 has outer ring markers next to the date window and the 16202 does not .

My pleasure. Here is a shot of my 15202

Close enough to count the squares across (26) and see there are not white markings for the minutes around the date window. ...
I've decided! I like both the 15202 and the 16202!

They both look fantastic in my eyes. Although, considering the 15202 is discontinued, the 16202 is likely my only option - if I were ever granted the privilege of procuring one!
This!

But I'm no ap expert anyways
As a long time 15202 owner...

I prefer the dial on the 16202. In person, the differences are apparent. And the movement changes are quite welcomed on a modern production timepiece. Thanks for the photos!
Awesome you have both pieces!!!

And the elusive 50th anniversary alarm clock I must say the new 16202 is functionally and dimensionally better - but there is a certain charm of the 15202 that is unmistakable. Thanks for sharing! Cheers Peter
Both are absolutely marvelous

And its hard to see which is which reference to be honest! Hopefully when/if I get the 16202 I will be more aware of the differences between the two!
