Hey guys,

Need your expert opinion. I am currently contemplating of getting my grail in the form AP 15202 jumbo. Now I have a 15400 in blue, I love it nothing wrong with it but I just feel its a little on the big side for my smallish wrist. I have seen and fit the 15202 although not side by side my 15400. I think the size is perfect for me.

So the question is, should I pursue my goal of 15202 or just add another to spice up the collection? Rolex and JLC Reverso comes to mind. For the price of my 15400
plus additional cash to fund for the jumbo, I can acquire a brand new Sub or Hulk or JLC ultra thin. Hence, the title, more variety or go for quality?

Other watches:
PAM 176, TAG Aquaracer, IWC spitfire chrono

Cheers!

Go for the jumbo if this is your grail.
Definitely quality over quantity for me, especially given how versatile the jumbo is.

Sir Larry Wildman · 19 September 2014, 09:46 PM

Personally I've found that compromising never gets you anywhere. Go for the grail. You will *always* come back to it.

That being said, I wouldn't have the 15202 as your only watch. I would have something else, maybe a SubC or Speedy Pro, for daily wear

watchdog507 · 19 September 2014, 10:42 PM

If it works for you get it. It will show a lot of wear quickly, if it's your daily wear. I would have something that can take a bit of punishment also.

Ots · 19 September 2014, 11:03 PM

Thanks for the input guys!

Well for my daily, I can always go to my PAM or the basic Tag. My work environment is very casual. I don't use the 15400 to the office.

So far all responses point to the jumbo. I expected that too. Such a timeless classic. I saw the Reverso Rouge at the boutique and thought its such a cool watch.

Thank you

jyan212 · 19 September 2014, 11:59 PM

Quality over quantity. Get that grail!

Presa canary · 20 September 2014, 12:21 AM

Quality over quantity always. That being said, that's not really the problem you're encountering... Rolex, the 15400, and any jlc reverso is the definition of quality. You want to know if you should sell all quality pieces for 1 grail? For that my answer would be no.

B. Doggy · 20 September 2014, 01:44 AM

Quality for sure

HL65 · 20 September 2014, 02:15 AM

Quality trumps quality all day long for me. Whenever you settle it always costs you in the long run when you trade to get what you wanted in the first place.

el1125 · 20 September 2014, 02:42 AM

x2 totally agree

OP: Believe me I learn the hard way
Go for your grail

AK797 · 20 September 2014, 04:24 AM

Jumbo for sure, unless you were thinking full gold Rolex or Nautilus and then it would require serious thought.

Hairdude1 · 20 September 2014, 07:38 AM

Jumbo!!!!

Sam Philip · 20 September 2014, 08:26 AM

benlee · 20 September 2014, 09:55 AM

Get the Jumbo. You won't regret it!

71eh · 20 September 2014, 10:41 AM

Like all others have said, quality over quantity and Jumbo for me!

Ots · 20 September 2014, 11:14 PM

Thanks for all the replies!

All responses are unanimous. Go for Glory. Go for Grail. Never settle for less.
And yes, Rolex and JLC are top quality pieces too, but for my dream SS watch, it has to be the AP 15202. Now time to do my homework and try to locate this bad boy. Local AD has no chance of bringing this in.

PS: The new thread started by benlee just made my decision alot easier!

Regards,

Edward

If anyone needs Jumbo enabling Ben's threads and photos are a must read/see. I don't think anyone can resist after that!

good luck with the search!

jyan212 · 21 September 2014, 02:45 AM

Good luck Edward! Looking forward to the pics when you get your grail!

wisguy · 21 September 2014, 05:09 AM

Quality.

Been thinking about the very same thing myself.

Less is more

Wesley Crusher · 21 September 2014, 06:00 AM

I would sell your 15400, Tag and IWC to fund for the 15202. Later, add a 114060 or 116610LN.

simongpaez · 21 September 2014, 08:30 AM

Quality 100%

Tzehou · 22 September 2014, 02:10 AM

Jumbo for me too

redsubby · 22 September 2014, 06:45 PM

Usually quality over quantity for me, but I woudn't consider the Jumbo over 15400 in quality department. In your case, I would stay with 15400 plus a Rolex.
Get the Jumbo only if the 15400 is really too big for you.

Hence, my dilemma. I love everything about it, its just that it doesn't sit perfect on my wrist. Most of the time it is sideways. I don't know if its just my wrist bone or really the fit. Does the boutique let you try the 1 1/2 links on your watch before actually buying it?

Thank you all for the response! Very good info and great suggestions.
No, I don't like going to 15300, its just either I stay with my 15400, add another watch or just sell it and get the Jumbo and stay out of this forum for a while

Edward

Cru Jones · 22 September 2014, 10:03 PM

how about switch the 15400 for a 15300 and pick up the LVc or JLC?

subtona · 22 September 2014, 10:34 PM

15400 too big....you're in luck the Jumbo is going to make you very happy:)
