Rose gold royal oak. (Extra thin)

Hi people.
No wish to over explain why- but I'd really like to know if anyone has one/ pics???
15202OR has just nudged its way into my "wish list" and I'd love see pics of it other than from the AP site itself. Ie wrist shots etc
Ideally comparison with 15400 ( which I have already ) so I can gauge just how thin it is.... Sounds silly but I hope it isn't too thin for my taste

I'm hoping to get to Marcus next month to try it on but would really appreciate some shots if u have them. Cheers

26320 vs 15202 for size comparison. The 26320 is 10% thicker than your 15400. The 15202 is 17% thinner than your 15400.

Side question. I have a 1.5 link for my Jumbo that I got to make it slightly tighter, but when I tried it I wasn't sure if it was better with or without it. Do these pics make you think it would fit better if it were 0.5 links tighter?

RO needs to be pretty snug on the wrist for the right look IMHO - you can't have it flopping around on your wrist.

They're both much too loose. An AP shouldn't slide over your wrist. I would take out 1 link.

Check some comparison pics and wrist shots of different Royal Oaks.

I'll post a picture in a little bit with the 5402, 15300 and 15400.

Here's a good comparison shot of the thickness. A Jumbo 5402SA, discontinued 15300 and a 15400. Enjoy!

Wow, very cool shot, Hal.. Even owning my pair, I don't often get such a sense for how much slimmer the Jumbo really is -- look at that bracelet...

Excellent thanks
Given the obvious weight difference between jumbo and 15400
It's slightly odd to me that in the solid rosé gold models (uk rrp) there is only a couple hundred pounds between them!!
There is oddly enough a few thousand pounds separating the steel versions!!

Any thoughts on that???
