Many thanks Emmanuel for pulling together such a comprehensive report.
My one and only AP is the second generation 15202. I purchased this in the grey market back in 2014 at list - those were the days 🤣. Apart from the green dial a few years later there hasn’t been another that I’ve coveted in the meantime. The charm of doing the “10 to 2” dance to set the date is one of the quirks of ownership - but not enough reason to move to the 16202 quick date!
Yes, a not very practical dance,
but I agree that it’s not a good enough reason to move to the 16202.
I don’t have a RO and will probably never own one (given the prices and my priorities), but it doesn’t prevent me from sincerely admiring it.
Best, Emmanuel

Thanks for this overview and your effort. There's a lot to see here.
When it comes to jumbos this is all I've got.
I like "all you've got" very much.
I assume it's an early 15202 and the white dial with Arabic minutes track sets is a little apart from most other variants.

Quattro, your survey was so amazing that I ended up buying the 16202 that I had been hesitating about.
I'm glad this survey was helpful, anaroku!
Of course the 16202 has a three-part case, not two-part like the OG 5402, but I still think it's a great version of the Jumbo with an improved movement and it makes a wonderful duo with your 5711!
Huge congratulations again on this acquisition!
