Some 15500 blue and 15202BC wrist shots

[Navarino]

That 15202 has me drooling.

Looking forward to the trunk show coming to BH in about 1.5 weeks. I have an appointment on the 13th around lunch if anyone local wants to join me (feel free to shoot me a PM)!

I saw the 15500 today and it is fantastic! I will be lucky enough to have one this year! :)

Gotta agree. The experience there is terrible. Total turn off. Seems to be the culture for the Westime owned stores there. The Westime AD there sucks too.

Hi - question for the OP - what is your wrist size? The 15500 looks great - I recently ordered one in blue and am curious as to how it will fit on my wrist (little larger than 7").

Thanks!

Thanks for the pics.

#NoFilter right?

Don't like the minute insert on 15500, prefer the 15400 looks... and 15202 is another world...

Nice pics, looks like the blue dial is mostly the same shade so good news.

That’s a beautiful shade of blue

I really like the bigger AP logo of the 500. Still am not a fan of the empty space on the bottom half or the lack of a marker at the 3 o'clock position. I realize many watches like the submariner date do not have one either, but they have the tick on the bezel which makes up for it.

Lovely pics. Thank you.

the 15202BC - so lovely!

That salmon 15202 is the one to get, nice.

I don't mind the 15500...I love the new movement caseback. and the larger date aperture and font of the AP logo.

I don't love the new second hand, the minute track and the 'emptiness' of the bottom of the dial.

Bottom line is that the 15500 is fine piece and will do very well.

Having said the above....side by side....I would take the 15400. I just think its a better overall aesthetic package.

As for the 15202.....its all been said, its a winner.

Agree with this. The 15500 will be a fine piece and do well. I am still partial to the 15400 but they're close enough and both beautiful (as is the 15300). The 15202 is beautiful.

Somehow I can see fights breaking out for the 15202BC. Is there anyone who doesn't think its gorgeous....

FD.

Beautiful

Looks great! I like the bigger AP logo and the cleaner look without the “Automatic” text. I also don’t mind the outer minute marker.

Caseback looks very nice:



Side by side:

Also tried on a couple 1159's. Boring dials but overall I thought they were very nice on wrist:

Again, I wonder if this is a production model. I thought the rotor was supposed to look like this....

The 15500 looks really good.

Like the bigger date.

But the minute hand could be a little longer. Would be better if it reached further, got closer to the minute markers.

And other boutiques are very aware of how bad the Beverly hills boutique is.

They SUCK

P.S: I watched the 30 for 30 on Ric Flair for the second time the other night.....................one of my favorite 30 for 30 episodes ever.

Not to necro a thread but saw this and just came to reiterate this point. I went there and it was the worst experience I ever had at any boutique.

Completely turned me off the brand. Hopefully, other AP boutiques are better than this.

A VIP customer in the store literally had to tell the sales guy to go help me as I was waiting there with absolutely no service.

On the flip side, every other store I visited was extremely helpful and had great service. The Grand Seiko boutique in particular was fantastic.

The 15202BC is timeless.

[rockdrock]

That 15202bc piece will be mine one day. : ) (at MSRP). I don’t know how it will happen but it will.
