15202 Special Dial
Hi guys,
I've recently purchased a brand new 15202 with a special dial - short history here: There was an incident apparently over at AP when the original owner had his previous jumbo serviced. AP then replaced his jumbo however, they couldn't find the exact dial (not really sure what happened) and they just gave him a 15202 with a special dial. I've been looking around and I haven't found anything similar. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, he traded this new AP for a F.P. Journe and I picked up this rare 15202.
My question guys is, how rare is this piece? I've been messaging AP and they are giving me the run around and telling me that they cannot give out production figures (yada yada yada). I just want to know how special this piece is so I can just use it sparingly.

Is it really "rare". It is just a watch with a wrong model's dial. If I put Omega Seamaster's dial to my Royal Oak, does it make my watch rare? If you like it, enjoy it. But don't be dissapointed, if this "rarity" do not increase the value of the watch.
Its legit

The watch is brand new - they replaced it. AP Singapore was the one who handled the service of the old watch. So this one is a brand new piece with all papers and documentations intact. I'm just asking if there are anyone here who can help assist with AP ...

I agree with you but let's face the truth, many people are thinking : when Rolex make wrong dials it is a wonder , when AP make wrong dial it is a shame, need to worry. I disagree and you have an interesting 15202 My 2 cents
Agreed
By: dwin888 : March 5th, 2016-04:32
All the information is from the previous owner. I know it is legit as the guy is quite a collector. And the local AP distributor here is the one that handled the issues. Apparently, AP Singapore got robbed last year and 6 watches from the Philippines got ...
