Given the excitement about the new special Ti/Pt edition of the Jumbo (15202IP), here are some fresh photos of the Ti/Pt QEII Cup 2017 (15403IP).
The mix of brushed titanium (which is a bit darker than stainless steel) and polished platinum gives each of those special editions a very different and particular look. The 15403IP has a special rhodium-colored dial which fits very well with the platinum bezel. The graduating blue/black dial of 15202IP contrasts perfectly with the platinum bezel and reminds me a bit of 5711A-10 (which is not a bad thing at all 😉). The background of the second photo has been chosen for our esteemed AP moderator MichaelC. Best, Volker
Different polished and brushed parts give to your timepiece and the new 15202 a very cool style
If the new blue dial gradation is gorgeous (not particularly well enhanced by my shot below), your grey dial offers a supplementary hue to your RO. Not a two tones but a three tones one 😉

Thanks a lot, my friend.
Is the dial of this tourbi identical to the one of 15202IP? Looks absolutely amazing. BTW, got confirmation for delivery of a 15202IP in June. 🎉🍾
This reference is the new 26510IP with a smoked blue dial (last year AP released the same watch but with a smoked grey dial) and limited to 50 pieces only
Really happy for you regarding your order. Only 5 months to wait and you’ll own a stunner 😉

Fingers crossed that you will get one.
I guess there’s huge demand for this special edition.
Some very heavy hardware in these shots ;-)
You know me well, Volker.
Of course, I have not yet seen the 15202IP in person, but I believe it is the special "smoked blue" dial which really brings home the whole design. I have not been so inspired by a Fade to Black since Metallica's Ride the Lightning album.
I think your QEII is very nice. Quite a classy look. But the dial on the 15202 version seems to grab the polished platinum bezel much better. Would the same smoked blue dial look as good in a standard brushed steel 15202? No, I do not think it would.
This is why I previously expressed that this timepiece is not just "the same watch in different colors and materials". I mean, technically, maybe it is, but it is dismissive to think that way in this case.
Congrats again for locking one up.
Volker, without appreciating the import of either piece in AP's collection, so simply based on the visual
I quite prefer your rhodium-colored QEII. That dial really draws you in. Great piece.
And congratulations on adding the new Ti/Pt...she is also a looker, but I'd suggest in a very different, complementary way 😊

Cheers, my friend.
I agree but the diameter of the QEII (41mm but wears bigger) is currently something I’m struggling with. The Jumbo is 39 mm and 3 mm slimmer.
Interesting. I'm the owner of small wrists as well, but I think my history with Panerai firmly established what is acceptable on my left. Though the longer I've been a member here the more I feel that everyone else looks at me as crazy 😔 [nt]
