It's here! My first AP.
My first AP! Went with the new 15202 jumbo. Was having good ol' DSW source a 15300 (which I'm still mulling), but he mentioned yesterday that he had an inbound BNIB 15202 (warranty dated this week) from his AD. I thought about it for a good 30 seconds and pulled the trigger. David had the AD drop ship it to my place and I received it this morning.

The thinner case and 39mm size suits my wrists better than the 15400. As has been mentioned before, it wears a lot like a PP 5711 - which is also in my rotation. However, the 15202 bracelet is a bit more comfortable IMHO. I love the patisserie dial and its subtle color changes in different light. The detailing on the watch is insane - up there with my Pateks.

Thank you DavidSW for another smooth transaction, and thank you Thomas (TSW) for bracelet sizing advice after some issues with overuse of loctite at the AP factory.

Coincidentally, the 15202 arrived the same day I received my always-delayed copy of WatchTime featuring the RO Jumbo.

Enough talking. Here are the photos.

Omg this new jumbo is really stealing my heart, I just about pulled the trigger on a 15300 too..

How much thinner is the 15202 than 15300? I already thought the 15300 was thin

Oh yea, CONGRATS :)
