If so, what was your reason?

I ask I see a lot of love for this watch on the forum but also see a lot of serial flippers (myself included!)

Just wondering as I am contemplating buying this watch but given the amount involved, I'm keen to hear of user experiences from those that have sold a 15202.

Thanks

Haven't flipped it.... Yet!

Seriously enjoy and love this watch. Might be my favorite of all.

I am receiving one tomorrow. Let's see how much I love it...

trackntrail · 17 July 2015, 08:02 AM

I don't think I'd ever flip a 15202. Absolute grail for me.

lapince · 17 July 2015, 08:17 AM

ask on Patek section, seems some flipped for a 5711

yjfang · 17 July 2015, 08:35 AM

I chose the 15202 over the 5711 (definitely too slim for me).

Haven't thought about flipping this beauty. Of course, I'm known to turn around on a dime.

TimeOnHand · 17 July 2015, 09:58 AM

No way... really enjoy my Jumbo...

el1125 · 17 July 2015, 10:12 AM

Nope. Not as of yet. It's such a beauty.

drhr · 17 July 2015, 10:55 AM

Yep, just got tired of it really, needed/wanted to try something else, beautiful watch, great quality though . . .

troongta · 17 July 2015, 11:09 AM

Others may come and go, but this classic beauty.. ;)

B. Doggy · 17 July 2015, 12:14 PM

See, it's threads like this that get you...

lmcgbaj · 17 July 2015, 12:29 PM

LOL. I never liked it originally. I had one 15400s and flipped it. Then I had 2 x 15300s (blue and white) and flipped both. Tried 15202 again the other day and I'm in love. Damn.

lmcgbaj · 17 July 2015, 12:36 PM

I was at the AP boutique yesterday and tried it on again. Lady goes it's a classic and really flies of the shelves. I said I love it now. I had concerns about the missing seconds hand and the non-quick set date. She goes it's no big deal. Very easy to set and looks clean. Then I play with the watch and proceed to move the hours passed midnight. She goes: No, no, no.... please don't!!! It's a pain to set the date!!! LOL

Now that's funny. It's true, anything other than a few days off and its a pain.

Lol funny and true. Date can be a pain if it's like 15 days off. Lol. I don't mind sometimes I don't even set the date. It's just a beauty.

I continued to acquire different version of RO Jumbo and if I come across one that interesting, I may consider to buy again. The jumbo is beautiful watch.

At least you don't have to do 2 full rotations to advance the date! I think it is quite easy as only move hands to 1:00 then back to 11:00 and then past 12:00 etc. If it was like old vintage Rolex where you have to go all the way around twice that would stink!

agreed, and this is what I do. its a nice feature but still no quick set. plus, with this beauty of a watch, it just feels wrong doing it this way like im hurting the movement. I know this insn't true but it goes against the grain of all my other watches.

Hairdude1 · 18 July 2015, 12:49 PM

I don't have one however if I did it would be a keeper

I know someone who flipped the previous 15202 with AP at 12 o'clock indicator.

You aren't hurting the movement and that is exactly what is written in manual. It is similar to the way many older vintage watches worked like Tudor, Heuer etc. You can always do the 2 full winds around if you feel better of course.

daytonaTBR · 18 July 2015, 11:24 PM

Never had one but I have thought of flipping FOR a 15202 on numerous occasions.

Now that's the better flip direction if you ask me

AK797 · 19 July 2015, 12:25 AM

A friend of mine knew someone who had heard about some guy's cousin selling his.

DON'T DO IT! I can see you chasing it down again.

Only way I would agree with the move is if it is for the RG one!
