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 π€·ββοΈ
There is no rhyme or reason to collecting or what determines market forces and values.

Really like the cat. Goes with the watch very nicely. Grey and blue -- perfecto combo! )
Gorgeous Jumbo!

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 didnβt 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...

You never own an Audemars Piguet, you simply take care for it for your cat!
Jumbo for me as well

I do crave the original steel though, for the look and better durability. In time
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.
