AP for me, but see if you can add a SS Rolex to the mix as a Rolex beater

yxc145 · 10 November 2017, 03:19 AM

style wise, I like Rolex. If you can buy the BLRO at around $25k brand new, then I will go with the BLRO.

sunnyd · 10 November 2017, 03:25 AM

AP and add a BLNR

Vipes · 10 November 2017, 04:11 AM

Both great choices. BLRO is more durable but I would go for the Jumbo. IMO, the Jumbo is a special piece in AP's line up. It also goes with almost every attire so it is pretty versatile.

GolfJunkie · 10 November 2017, 04:14 AM

Tough call.

Personally if I was going to spend that much money on a watch I would want PM so BLRO for me.

yessir69 · 10 November 2017, 04:17 AM

The Jumbo is a masterpiece. 15202>116719.

AK797 · 10 November 2017, 04:18 AM

BLRO, I prefer the ROO line and the Nautilus Genta, but 202 is obviously awesome.

lord91 · 10 November 2017, 04:21 AM

You can't even set the time precisely on that AP. In your case, i'd take the BLRO, though the bezel's colours look washed out under some lighting circumstances.

AK797 · 10 November 2017, 04:22 AM

Sell the Omega and get both.

Jack Cassidy · 10 November 2017, 04:27 AM

BLRO. Precious metal. Rolex durability. Sporty and more versatile.

Al1969 · 10 November 2017, 04:32 AM

Blro.

dave023 · 10 November 2017, 04:37 AM

Blro

camoedoutlander · 10 November 2017, 04:39 AM

blro!

Corsair66 · 10 November 2017, 05:26 AM

BLRO all day long. The gorgeous bezel colors (a near perfect homage to the 6542), the WG heft, and the useful complication are all in its favor.

The AP watches, with their flat bezels and visible screws, never appealed to me. Coupled with it being a SS piece, I'd never buy it.

The most important question for the OP is: which do you like better?

69ways · 10 November 2017, 05:30 AM

Oak

Blro !!!

Time666 · 10 November 2017, 06:01 AM

Jumbo gets my vote - the wow factor on that bracelet, different league. Having the 15400 the bracelet has so much detail along the tapisseire and craftsmanship. Probably not as robust though I guess.

Sam Philip · 10 November 2017, 07:27 AM

15202

tifosi · 10 November 2017, 07:57 AM

Is this seriously even a question??

15202

emersm · 10 November 2017, 08:04 AM

BLRO for me. I still have not been able to warm up to those 8 screws.

I have chosen the BLRO as a beater and the only watch and could not be happier with that decision but the frosted gold AP version was an instant hit with my girlfriend. If you care about girls - frosted gold is certainly an eye-catcher.
She did not notice AP 15202 in real life at all, we had a few encounters where I have pointed her to it and she confirmed that there was zero bling.

49ers101hitters · 10 November 2017, 08:22 AM

Don't buy the royal oak, they're boring.

osamu · 10 November 2017, 08:38 AM

15300 and a BLNR, haha but if you forced me choose between these two, I'd probably buy the BLRO.

Kiddodoc · 10 November 2017, 08:41 AM

Other watches AP/Patek, etc do nothing for me so my vote is for the BLRO but only you know which one you prefer.

Joemck · 10 November 2017, 08:47 AM

BLRO gets my vote!

derekstlmo · 10 November 2017, 08:58 AM

15202 no questions asked

s7horton · 10 November 2017, 10:28 AM

Maybe you have to see the AP in person, because when I see pictures of it, I can’t fathom choosing that over a BLRO.

Blro

mailman · 10 November 2017, 10:34 AM

I absolutely love the BLRO.

Between the two I'd pick the 15202 all day long.
