since AP revamped the 15202, replaced the 15300 with the 15400, will they do anything with the Dual Time RO? What do you guys think? I'd love to see a 41mm Dual Time/Power Reserve...

i reckon so mate... once the base models have been fine-tuned the complicated ones should follow

from a production perspective it makes no sense having to maintain two different sets of machines to knock out the various parts, like cases etc.

sadly the 41mms look like dinner plates when on my wrists, i like the 39-40mm pieces...

AP's 39mm wears much larger, so I do agree... But you know, we always want something else :)

Basel's right around the corner and I'm willing to bet we'll see some updated RO models.

you took the words right out of my mouth. i tried on the new models on several occasions and they do look like dinner planes on me. then i put on my 39mm ROC and it looks perfect. even did a side by side with a 40mm daytona last weekend with a friend and mine looks noticeably bigger.

also tried on the new 44mm ROO last weekend and started to laugh. it was so big that he height of the case and pilot was taller than my wrist. definitely not a good look :) this was quite disappointing though since i was thinking about getting the SS one for weekend/casual wear.

i used to have the Safari, but something about it was never very comfortable for me to wear. maybe an FC Diver is the ticket for me, but I am not a fan of the all black dial, wish there was something else.

Let's not get your hopes up for any releases at Basel as all new AP's will be shown in January at SIHH

TSW · 2 November 2012, 06:18 AM

I honestly don't think the DT will be updated to 41mm, As far as new novelties men's collection will not be strongest side at SIHH this year.

However we will see a Lebron LE sometime soon.

The RO should have stayed at 39 as designed by Genta.

The ROO starts at 42 and thats why a 41 RO makes no sense to me.

nick c · 2 November 2012, 07:58 AM

maybe 44mm

Probably many more updates on the ROO side since it will mark the 20th Anniversary of the Offshore! The RO updates were at SIHH "last year".

Guess I will go hunting for a pre owned 15300 when the time is right.

Good idea, but I would look for a clean one that doesn't smell :)

If they release a white dial new Jumbo at SIHH, you can buy mine Bill.

Exactly my thought.
I really do prefer 39mm for RO, whether it is the basic 15300 or like my Dual Time. When I want to go for 41mm, I might as well go for the Diver or BB.
