I think I'm going to sell my 15202ST

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 25th, 2016-13:37
Because if you buy an AP....why not this one??...  

Remember I'm aiming for the magic number of 12 pieces total

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 25th, 2016-13:59
:-0 oh lord what have I started with.... Mission impossible?

13.

13's the number. 13. Lucky 13.

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.

 
 By: vitalsigns : September 25th, 2016-14:11
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.

I wouldn't [nt]

arie, you have no interest in ROOs?

 
 By: Joepny : September 25th, 2016-16:16
there are a glut of them in HK and it seems like a buyer's market with the vast oversupply on the secondary market

Not really no

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 26th, 2016-03:58
A bit too bulky for me

What's powering this piece, I can't remember is it the AP2120?

 
 By: Ancienne Le Brassus : September 26th, 2016-01:04
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

 
 By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : September 26th, 2016-03:06
but AP is losing his identity, they still lack a line for half of the brand's name (Mr. Piguet).

Yes, why not?!

I would like to handle one live first.

Be careful...

 
 By: foversta : September 26th, 2016-15:17
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

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 26th, 2016-15:23
that it is actually too big for a dress watch?

Be careful foversta :)

I really like this one Arie

 
 By: MichaelC : September 26th, 2016-15:43
Enough to sell my 15202? Probably not. But, if this AP is more your style,I say go for it!

Not perse

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : September 26th, 2016-15:51
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 ...  

I could list my 5 favorite APs

And none are octagonal. Unfortunately, the only ones I can afford are octagonal! My favorite case from Audemars Piguet is the Millenary. Without exception. Here is a favorite I know you will enjoy as well: ...
