Hello fellow members,
So i had this watch for some time now,
I bought this and a 15202 at the same time thinking that this would be my daily driver, and that the 15202 would be for special occasions,
But let me tell you the truth, I actually hate this watch and I know it's very hyped and all but i actually don't like to wear it and I think it's too big and bulky

.
Now I'm wearing the 15202 much more than I thought I would.
What do you guys think ?

brandrea · 22 December 2020, 09:43 PM

If you’re looking to unload, I’m your guy

It looks good on you IMO, but if size is the issue, you could always look at something else. What about a classic 36mm Rolex?

Lol ,
I actually own a couple of 36mm there almost the perfect size

illiguy · 22 December 2020, 09:44 PM

Let it go. Enjoy, as you have, the 15202. “Marie Kondo” the one that no longer gives you joy.

Emery · 22 December 2020, 09:47 PM

I call it the dinner plate, due to how empty the dial is and how thin the bezel is relative to how much dial there is.

This is also one of the factors I don't like it as much as the old 15400 or the 15202

1William · 22 December 2020, 09:48 PM

If it does not work for you then move on and find a watch that does work.

Abre · 22 December 2020, 09:50 PM

I used to own a 15400 a couple of years back and I used to enjoy it alot, but when I got the 15500 it didn't feel the same, they changed the dimensions and now it's thicker and feels bigger and bulkier than the old 15400, that's exactly why I lost interest in this watch.

fsprow · 22 December 2020, 10:07 PM

Had 15500. Great watch but just too bulky for me, though beautiful and extremely accurate. Bought a 15202 (hard on wallet) which is now my favorite watch.

Patton250 · 22 December 2020, 10:11 PM

I feel the same way about the size of my VC Overseas. It’s also too big but it also beautiful just like your 15500 so I will deal with it.

Interesting my friend.

I’ve tied the Overseas on many times and have always walked away from it, partly due to its size. Beauty watch though, I have to say

Remind me of your wrist size ...

I think it looks really good on your wrist. The 15500 is to me a fab watch in any dial colour.

But it you hate it, then of course no point in you keeping it.

supernova · 22 December 2020, 11:47 PM

Easy solution is just offload anything you no longer enjoy, same with any watch! If you acquired for retail then you can even make a few bucks selling now so a win win really.

15500 looks perfect to me in your pictures, but that's why they make watches in different sizes.

7sins · 23 December 2020, 01:05 AM

It would be a challenge for any watch to compete with the 15202, so I can see why this 15500 became of less interest

Fair point, think more diversity would be wise.

gregouille · 23 December 2020, 01:08 AM

I totally get you !
I will sell if I was you.

ap1 · 23 December 2020, 01:17 AM

Try the 38mm ROC

Benzsiam · 23 December 2020, 01:22 AM

It didn't sing to you, it's time to let it go to somebody else that appreciate it.

This timepiece is great and gorgeous to most people.

sokoloka · 23 December 2020, 01:35 AM

Take a picture in a mirror / not with a clenched fist and proportionally it might speak to you more.

I think it looks fantastic.

dauster · 23 December 2020, 02:33 AM

Looks great on you but if you don’t like it (hate seems like a strong word here) just sell. Should he easy don’t see the drama here!?!

chiscott_29 · 23 December 2020, 02:38 AM

There’s nothing wrong with selling if it doesn’t work for you any more. Trust me...I change my mind sometimes daily and if you’re in at retail you’re going to make a nice return on it.

I love the 15500 personally.

But, I say sell it...I don’t see why you’d have a Jumbo and blue dial 15500. Use the money and buy a couple of “dailies”.

+1 well said.

Vivalas · 23 December 2020, 02:45 AM

I think it looks great on you but what I think is irrelevant. If it’s not doing it for you, move it on and get something that does do it for you. Before you do though, put it away for a couple of weeks and see if you miss it.

tcheeco · 23 December 2020, 08:52 AM

I completely understand you. I wear only the 15202ST since I got it. Now that I ordered the OR version, I think I’m gonna let go the 15400OR. But the 15500 blue stays

How long did they say the wait was for the OR version? Such a beautiful watch.

They just said “soon” Lol

it looks good on you but i struggle to see the reason to have any other SS RO when you have a 15202

Spot on. If you grew tired of it, perhaps sell it and go for a precious metal piece perhaps?

PanosI · 23 December 2020, 04:35 PM

You can sell it and buy a 15300 instead.
