Get the 15400 (blue dial) instead.

Agreed!

Quite a large wrist presence differential. If you like large watches, then I don't think you will enjoy the 15202 - it's very delicate looking and quite a bit smaller in every dimension than the 41 roc

I used to love large watches only until the 15202 now I'm into smaller more elegant gentlemanly watches and not just wearing clocks

1. What do you stand to lose on the ROC? Does it matter to you?

2. IMO, since you wear more casual than formal, I would stick w the ROC.

I think the presence of the chronograph and the colors are super.

I would keep what you have. The chrono looks great on your wrist!

Thanks everyone for your advice!! I think I will stick to what I have. I think I'm more infatuated with the "idea" of the Jumbo than the watch itself. So for the time being I'll keep my current collection. Maybe in the near future flip the Explorer for an AP Diver which has been also calling my name as of late.

I feel the same - I love the 'idea' and drool over pics everyone posts on here...but in real life I just don't love it like I do my Diver.

I think you made the right decision as the ROC looks great on you!

The infatuation is a great point you make and there seems a general theme here to go for the 15202. Clearly, the watch has great provenance but is it really worth the additional cash?? Am not so sure....! See the 15400 below. This is my main work watch and for me it does the job. It has presence, personality and provenance. Your watch in my opinion also has the same!

I was debating the 15202 vs black offshore themes. went with the offshore, still love it but now that I'm looking at the patek 5711 almost as a pseudo replacement. if I were in your shoes tho I'd keep what you have and get a 5711 to complement

For me and those who own it clearly is....No question about it. The look and feel on the wrist for me is second to none. It is a simple yet elegant sports watch and glad I own it. Not taking away anything from 15300 or 15400 but the 15202 is the perfect RO IMHO.

As long as you're happy that is the main thing. I ended up going for 2 main work watches for the price of a 15202. It does the job for me. Cheers.
