15202 vs 15300
Let see those 15202 and 15300's!
Curious how the 8.10mm thickness vs 9.40 thickness compares. Also any comments on comfort? |

Excruciatingly... Gorgeous and comfortable.
Own... Want... The 15300 is chunkier and feels substantial whereas the 15202 feels like the PP 5711/1A. |

So you want a 15202 because it's smaller or more comfortable?

Sure, the 15202 has all the hype and cult following, but the 15300 is a beautiful update with a modern and completely in-house Cal 3120 movement which affords the reference both date and second hand. |

Extremely comfortable. The thickness between the two is really visible.

was told $22,500 on SS on TZ... $300 buckeroos less than my ROC... and probably will be more costly after discount than the ROC despite the MSRP differences

The more I look at that new 15202--it's really stunning. The blue on steel is eye popping.
Mike let us know what HK contact says on ETA |

I think the 40th anniversary 15202 is the best looking watch to come from
AP. A grail for sure. Imagine if the Rolex sub was conserved in a similar fashion. The AP15300 is great as well. |

I'd say you are in luck, I have to wait another 4months until it reaches the north.

I actually prefer the 15300 if buying it as a daily driver, Sturdier bracelet and the screwed in crown.
But in a bigger collection the 15202 would be a fantastic addition. Also love the new updated dial bringing it closer to the original 1972 model
