So I tried this today. Heart is still racing and I must have it.
I finally got to try this beauty on.
These pictures don't do the dial or the watch any justice. She is an absolute stunner. The 15202 is just something different. How do you think she wears on my puny 6.25" wrists? I found the 15450 37mm to be too small. Personally think this watch fits really well, and the thin case really helps as well. I am trying to stay patient so that I can save some more money for a few more months before I pull the trigger on my 25th Birthday this November. I keep trying to tell myself to wait because it will feel better after the wait, but I am not sure if I will be able to. I have yet to try the Patek 5711 which was the contender for me, but after trying this, I don't even know if I want to try the Nautilus. The Jumbo is just incredible! Also have had several people tell me the 5711 would be more suitable for a person of an older age; Not sure I agree. Here are the pics. Tell me how you think she wears on my wrists. Thank you for reading! |

Found a guy that lives in my City who had one for sale, and I asked him if I could come by and try it on. I have been wanting to try one on the flesh for a very long time, but they are hard to come by. Obviously same story with the 5711. Really thinking of forgetting about trying to find a 5711 to try on as the jumbo has won my heart. |

Looks too big for you. I think you need to grow a bit more so come your 25th it will be a perfect fit. A 15202 at 25, damn Kelis, I hate you so much right now

I was just implying that I really loved the watch; Not actually serious.

Awesome watch!! As much as I love the 5711 I would go with the AP if you were only going to have 1. You can always get the Patek next:)

Can't believe the guy selling it met you in his car and let you try it on
Go for it. Great reference no doubt. |

Okay so I realise it was a stupid comment!
My bad guys. I really do appreciate all the support though guys! I am thrilled and cannot wait to pull the trigger at the right time when the right deal comes. Will not be too long though I assure you!! Thanks everyone. |

Lighten up guys... Inappropriate for sure but I am sure OP mean no malice.
Now, you should get it ASAP. IMHO, the Jumbo is a classic and strong contender for best AP RO ever made. |

It's a fantastic watch and worth getting. However if you're also in the market for the 5711 then try that on before doing anything else. While I love both, I'd rather have the 5711.

Looks amazing! Congrats on owning one! Quote:
I still have some time till I pull the trigger. As impatient as I can be, I really want to buy it to commemorate an occasion; That way I will always remember it as the watch that was bought for that occasion. (In this case my 25th Birthday). I will still try to find the 5711. I can never say never, but by the looks of it, the 15202 has really won my heart. I always found it to be much aesthetic as well. Comparing to the 5711. I will post back when I have finally tried them both. Haha thank you! We aren't too far off. They are equally as popular here in Qatar! |

My favorite AP without a doubt! Looks good on you. I personally prefer it over the 5711.

Both great but I prefer the 5711 to the 15202. Go with your gut.
