Having owned 10 APs (including the 15300, 14790 and 7 Offshores), I can safely say that the 15202 is the one I've had the greatest connection with and have the greatest pleasure of owning. While Offshores are fun, they aren't keepers to pass onto the next generation in my book - they are trendy in their own right.

The 15202 design has 45 years of heritage behind it - the case proportions, dial, movement and bracelet all are similar to the original, just that marginal evolutionary improvements have been made along the way. It is really a timeless classic - and that quality to make it a watch I can see passing to future generations.

Couldn’t agree more. The Jumbo is indeed an icon and I absolutely love mine. I am excited to pass it on to my son someday!

I have a small 6.5 or slightly smaller wrist. I have an AP RO chrono and the 15407 both on a bracelet. For the former I had to get the 1.5x link but not the later. The thickness and size of the watch made a difference

To me, my 41 ROC fits well, but the 39mm Jumbo to me is perfection. The 37mm 15450 also fits nicely IMO and the smaller size gives it a bit more of a vintage look.
37 looks perfect on you and your wrist looks more like 6.5
