I get it and understand your point. The 15202ST and 5402 before are NOT known for their durability, practicality, etc...
They represent an idea and image of AP and the watch industry in general. The market is fickle, really. The 15300ST, 15400ST, and 15500ST are superior in tech and performance as a watch and an evolution of the series BUT they do not have the history, images or charm of the 15202ST.
The JLC based 920 caliber in the 15202ST, VC, and original Nautilus is more robust than you would think. I just think you were unlucky with yours. I have played gold, squash, and tennis with mine without a hiccup 🤷♂️
There is no rhyme or reason to collecting or what determines market forces and values.
The heart wants what the heart wants 🤷♂️
What is everyone wearing today to going into this weekend?
Jesse J and I are spending some quality time together 😁😺 ...
mmmm....
Really like the cat. Goes with the watch very nicely. Grey and blue -- perfecto combo! )
Really? I have heard the crown is a bit fragile but never had a problem with mine or any AP I've had. Must be lucky 🤷♂️😁
Did you get it resolved with AP?
Yep, kept cracking time up till that point too
If ever again, I would only wear it in place. The 15400 I had was much much more durable. ...
I have seen this a couple times but probably due to the crown stem and none screw down crown...
I assume AP repaired the crown? So what happened to the watch?
AP repaired it and then scratched the bracelet and bezel...
So I sent it back for re-polish when it was not needed in the first place. Timekeeping was not that good when it came back, and I was not as happy with the re-polish as I had hoped, so I ended up letting it go. Very happy with the VC which replaced it, lo...
Wow, sorry to hear about that. I would go postal if that happened to me...
No excuse for bad service, especially with the amounts we are spending on these watches (toys/trinkets). I have ZERO tolerance for bad customer service. They should have resolved the crown issue and then if they damaged your watch while doing so, they sho...
I know right???
I think because it was serviced under warranty they didn’t take much care of it. They, the Clear Water service center, usually take a video of the watch when it arrives. They never took a video of mine. Honestly, I was over the watch at that time. I respe...

Just happened to me!
I've owned my E-series silver dial 15202ST for twenty years. Never serviced. Wound up fine last week, gently pulled crown out to set hands, and the crown and stem came right out. I guess it's practical that the time setting screw gets loose over the years...
Please make sure they take a video of your watch when it arrives,
So if they caused scratches, they are liable for it.
P15 for me
As posted on the Zenith forum, but Iron Maiden content is transcendent! ...
I know but I was thinking about consolidating, not adding more 🤷♂️...
for the past few years I have turned into a hoarder which is not really a good thing. It's getting BAD mon ami. I am approaching the century mark and never thought of getting here with so many unworn pieces. And with this whole COVID-19 situation, it has ...
Hello Jesse J!
You never own an Audemars Piguet, you simply take care for it for your cat!
LOL, if AP used this slogan they could probably even move more Code 11.59s 😉😜
Just a joke so no offense to anyone out there 😁
This is what I wear over the weekend.
Perfect sizing for me. More importantly low profile. BTW, I like your cat very much. ...
Yes indeed
Gorgeous. There is something about the finishing which is only realized fully in steel, in my opinion. The watch in gold is special in its own way, but the finishing intent does not come across the same, to me.
I am referring to the design intent of the finishing specifications/choices
Where there is brushing versus polishing, intended to create a certain look, be it a soft or harsh light reflection, contrast between the two, sharp angles versus soft, etc. To my eye this all hangs together the best on the Royal Oak when done in steel.
