When did AP move away from monobloc case for the RO Jumbo?

I only just noticed that the later Jumbos have '3 parts' to them.  Have I been blind?  when did that happen?

I had not heard of it changing.

Late I-series different

Mine was late I series (I 92xxx) and it is not a monobloc.

Maybe the photo showing the monobloc (case and bezel one part) is a fake.

Even the early A series 5402 consisted of three parts (case, bezel and caseback). Photo could also show a prototype. Best, Volker

Nope mine is monoblock

It's not fake and the 5402 was a monoblock

Really. All the photos of 5402 I saw didn't lock like monoblock. But if you have one you definitely know ;-) [nt]

I've always liked the 15202. Little disappointed to read this, although in fairness no different to the 5711. [nt]
