Suee if you don't mind long story haha...

I decided to reward myself this year as I had overcome a big crisis in my workplace, as well as entering my 40s. After targeting RO, grey market is the only way to go ( I started as an AD guy before the hype watch era but honestly trying to get stuff allocated will make you spend way more, while "market price" is somehow fair if think ing about demand and supply. In Hong Kong it is easy to source those unused hype watches. To be safe I still have to study the movement details before, which is easy for my 7121 with display caseback. Initially I would like to go for the yg 15202 with champagne dial since it is hard to justified the steel RO for today's price, but so sad the yg one is gone and I cannot source another. Anyway this is my fate, sometimes you have to be irrational and i can still enjoy the classic "Bleu nuit nuage 50" Thanks for reading my story, Robert🍺

Still what it is...

Have been adoring the royal oak jumbo since the early days I look into watches. Such an exceptional and avant-garde outlook while still keeping its class and elegance in a very natural way. (Other integrated bracelet stuff could looked a bit forced and ol...

Enjoy the new one!

I think Quattro has a good comparison of the 5402 vs 15202 vs 16202 but the newest iterations of the Jumbo also have some nice refinements to the bracelet as well as the movement. Enjoy! Peter

Thanks a lot🍺

For me 15202 is still "the one", visually I like the new 7121 more for the better size and "completeness". The revamped bracelet also fits better for my slim wrist, so I can get along with getting 16202 instead.

Huge congrats! Enjoy it in the best health!

It remains high in my wish list, and I hope I can finally own one at some point. To me, it is definitely the icon redefining modern horology as we know it today.

Many thanks🍺

Thanks for the kind words🍺

It certainly has its magic to reach the "absurd" status nowadays. Strange but funny.

Brilliant! The one and only integrated sports watch imho. All the rest keep trying. And this comes from a long time 5711 owner. Enjoy!

For me there is no contest, especially when comparing between the og/vintage models. I did enjoy some modern interpretations like overseas( more than 222)

This one…

may just be one of the most beautiful watches in the world. I’m with you in slightly preferring the 15202 but have neither (yet). Congratulations! Cheers Marc

Thanks Marc🍺

15202 would always be the one from my era, as it represents how the affair began

Beautiful RO! Care to tell your acquisition story?

Whether you acquired from the AD or pre-loved... acquisition stories are always very interesting! Best, Robert
