I definitely want to see it live as well. The Original 15202 (pre-Anniversary) and the 5402s are the still the ones for me. 15300 was nice as well. Lets see.

Any thoughts on the 15550?

Cleaner dial configuration. No “automatic”. Shorter and fatter hour markers. A lot of open space now in the middle... especially for a bigger watch. Is that good or bad? Except for the placement of the date, the overall look kind of deviated from the clas...

If I can't get a new 15202 then the 15500 may be my first AP

I think the new reference looks cleaner especially since the awkward placement of the date calendar is no longer forced by the small movement. The increased power reserve from 60 to 70 hours is also welcome and is fast becoming the industry standard for a...
AP was wise enough to make a distinction.

So we can still buy all models including the 15202. By the way, we have the same version of the 15400. That dial is really something. I heard it’s pretty desirable. Glad they didn’t put it on the new ones. No grey ones too. The new grey dials are of a dif...
