16202 vs 15305
Interested in everyone's take on a 16202 (BA or OR) vs the 15305st
the skeleton seems like it can be had at a pretty good price right now ~ 10-15k cheaper than the jumbo (BA and OR) - but if both were the same price which one would you pick up? To me, never seen a RO skeleton in the wild before...have recently seen the 16202ba (stunning, esp the dial) and the 16202pt (insane!) in my hometown, so it would seem the skeleton is more rare. BUT, the dials on the PM 16202s are very hard to beat. |

15305 is lacking the genius touch of the gold bridge DBW of the 15407 (but has the 39mm size going for it). I'd go 16202BA ~ 15305ST > 16202OR. But all three are great.

Good perspective - I’ve been learning towards the 16202BA as well, but still find the other 2 very appealing !

Yea tough choice! I find myself also leaning towards the 16202BA but then the skeleton appeals strongly to me.

Wow thats a tough one, both wear amazing but the 16202BA I feel has far more wrist presence! the Dial on the 15305ST is not anywhere near the quality of the 15407ST

I would go with the 16202BA. YG is so nice on AP watches and is less common than rose gold.
