New Incoming: Jumbo Time
Fellow AP enthusiasts, thought i would share with you my latest acquisition. This came about somewhat unexpectedly but it has literally blown all previous preconceptions out of the water. This is a pre-boutique 15202 and i purchased this whilst also owning a 15300. My current tastes have always led me to newer models with chunkier bracelets but when this arrived there was only one winner and the 15300 was soon flipped. A light polish at AP to bring it back to life and this is the result. Quite frankly, it's superb and comfy as hell and is going nowhere.

Congrats!! The white dial compliments the brushed stainless steel exterior perfectly. The Jumbo is my next grail watch, as I'm sure it is for many drooling at these photos!

I forgot i had took some pictures before i sent it off to be brushed so if anyone is interested in seeing what a proper refinishing does then these are the before pics.
1. The first thing thats apparent is the more rounded edges of the case, as most people will know an AP RO has very crisp and sharp edges. Also a mini ding to the bezel and various micro scratches on the bolts: 2. Another example showing the lack of edge between the polished and brushed part of the bezel: 3. Few marks around the caseback and a bit of butchery on the caseback screws: 4. The sheen that was acquired on the bracelet post some non-AP brushing: |
