I think I'm going to sell my 15202ST
Because if you buy an AP....why not this one??...
Remember I'm aiming for the magic number of 12 pieces total
:-0 oh lord what have I started with.... Mission impossible?
That thing is gigantic.
Have you seen it in person and tried it on? A big contrast to the wear anywhere, do anything 15202.
No no I haven't
Would love to see it live some day. And I will agree with you on the size of the 15202ST. It\'s more or less perfect. The design of the Royal Oak is killer. However I\'m not so sure about swimming with it and setting the time/date or simply winding it suc...
Yes, the date setting would aggravate me.
Not sure why, over the course of 40 or so years, a quick-set date hasn\'t been engineered.
You know, the date is easiest set...
...on watches which don\'t have dates. Wouldn\'t mind seeing a 15202 without a date window... Best E.
arie, you have no interest in ROOs?
there are a glut of them in HK and it seems like a buyer's market with the vast oversupply on the secondary market
What's powering this piece, I can't remember is it the AP2120?
If so, it would be very nice... They're two different beasts... what would the other 11 pieces in the collection be?? That's the key question I think S
Yes sir
Being ultra thin seems to lead to that movement in a lot of cases. AP, VC and PP all used it in some way or form (name).
RO is the goose that laid the golden eggs
but AP is losing his identity, they still lack a line for half of the brand's name (Mr. Piguet).
Yes, why not?!
Here is a link to a post I wrote about this one: www.watchprosite.com Best Blomman
Be careful...
It is a very large watch and the absence of the second hand makes it very refined... and a bit boring too... due to its size. The dial of the 15202 has much more energy... even if this tradition is nice. A very old pic: Fx ...
So what I'm taken out of the responses is
that it is actually too big for a dress watch?
I really like this one Arie
Enough to sell my 15202? Probably not. But, if this AP is more your style,I say go for it!
Not perse
but I do like that it\'s not a RO(O). Don\'t get me wrong; I love that design! Not only for what it all stands for but its just a beautifully made thing (bracelet/case/dial). This Tradition however (now) stands out because not being a RO(O)-model. But as ...
