The 15202 is certainly an iconic watch that you can't go wrong with. The CB I feel has an interesting dial and case metal. But it really wasn't my taste. I think it appeals to a certain niche market as I mentioned earlier, but not to a larger market like the 15202.


Agreed. Given the number of watches produced by FPJ, about 850 a year, it can't be anything but niche. Compared to the c. 25k produced by AP per year.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure the CB would have been my taste either a year or two ago. Today it is. So is the nature of this beast.
