Royal Oak 39mm

Anyone here is favor of the return of a Royal Oak in 39mm with an in house caliber like the 4302 (of the 15500) or the 3120 (of the 15450/15400)?

The jumbo is a great watch but it has a historical movement not a modern sport's watch movement so less shock resistant and does not have a screw down crown. Hence, a lot favor the now discontinued 15300 for an every day Royal Oak.

Nah, I think they’ve got those bases covered. As you say, the 15300 can be found for those not satisfied with the other RO offerings.

A quickset date and a seconds hand are things alot of owners would like, PP have updated the Nautilus to having hacking so little changes could be possible but not sure if FHB are listening any more.

39mm is the perfect size for the RO. Would be great to have a new 15300.

An updated version of the 15300, why not.

But never touch the 15202...

As a 15300st owner I enjoy the current exclusivity of having the best version of the Royal Oak so I’m good with the current sizing options

I think 38mm will be even better.

As much as I love my Jumbo, setting the date is a PITA. Will welcome an upgrade to a quick set date.

I second that! The CEO says that cutting down distribution allows to know the consumer to avoid "mistakes". So, what is Audemars Piguet doing?
