What's the difference between RO Jumbos Extra-Thin?

[Grand Style]

Hello

I can see that it's bigger.

Hello.

When asking for a difference between A and B, it is essential to let others know what B is. Since your entire post lacks effort, I will give you an adequate answer:

"the price"

I think OP is new to AP so, I’ll try to help:
One is a RO Jumbo Extra Thin

Bigger is better, right?

To clarify: How does it differ from normal RO?

[GS93108]

When the 5402 Royal Oak was born it was 39mm and relative to other watches in its sector it was extremely large in diameter and thereafter picked up the nickname 'jumbo'.

Today the latest variations of that original jumbo keep the same diameter and the same nickname even though 39mm is far from jumbo by today's descriptive standards.

Regardless of diameter the jumbo was and still is very sleek and slim and has an ultra-thin design.

Jumbo is a legacy term that is essentially now comically inaccurate but the ultra thin description is absolutely correct when comparing to any other Royal Oak other than the RD models.

Hence a 39mm Jumbo Royal Oak is smaller in diameter than 41mm Royal Oaks and far thinner too.

Man so much RO posts thought this was a Rolex blog lol. Not going to lie can’t stand the AP. Looks like nuts and bolts with old kitchen tile for a dial. But I know they are an investment and well finished.

Which one is Jumbo and which isn't? The Salmon is supposed to be 41mm from what I've read.

The smaller one is called Jumbo.
Jumbo does NOT have a second hand.
The smaller Jumbo is $10,000 to $120,000 more expensive than the basic bigger RO.

To sum up, Jumbo is smaller, less features and stupid stupid expensive and rare.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

That's odd seeing as Jumbo means very large. Can you tell me about the pic above? Thx

It’s because historically 39mm was very large back when it was launched in the 70s obviously now it’s small compared to almost all of AP watches

Ah I get it, they did it for historic reasons. Why add 'Extra-Thin' at the end of Jumbo?

Because it's Extra-Thin? Why call it "Royal Oak" and not not "Octagon Watch"? Why ask all these random questions without any clear direction as to where this is going?

Actually, the poll you posted above put the RO in third place. After Patek Nautilus…and both are behind Rolex Submariner.

So if you want a “killin’ it” watch. The Sub is what you’d want.

What exactly is 'Extra-Thin'? I'm asking so I learn more about the RO.

Maybe you entered this subforum by mistake, because all I see is you copying and pasting the same sentence about nuts and bolts and the kitchen in different threads...

In the AP subforum you will find people talking about AP, if you go to the PP sub you will find people about PP. It makes sense if you think about it.

PS: And anyways not a blog, a forum.

To be honest (and don't take this the wrong way) I get the sense that you know enough about watches / APs but for some reason just want to get your post count up. Take for example the following screenshot in July where you literally started a thread and call out the same watches you seem to now have a number of questions about (and which are quite exotic) and post pictures of them.

Then not even 3 months later you're asking people to explain (in this thread) what the picture above shows...? You already know it's a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Salmon Tourbillon LE, so what exactly do you need to have explained or are looking to learn more about?

I know about models. I'm more of an aesthetics guy, I like what looks flashy and ostentatious. But I have no idea about specifics. If it's 41mm then I'm interested in it. I recently learnt about Jumbo Extra-Thin and was wondering what exactly it means. Jumbo is referring to AP back then, but what exactly is Extra-Thin?

Saw his copy and paste comments too. He’s hoping someone here will convince him to “give AP a try”.

Next thing you know, dude hates AP got allocated a Jumbo. JRell changes his tune and redo his kitchen floor Grande Tapisserie tiles.

Extra-thin is quite self explainatory, it's thin, very.

The Jumbo models are 39mm, and are called Extra-thin because they are thinner than other regular Royal Oaks.

And if you want 41mm then you better forget all the Jumbo.

GS93 has literally answered your question already not even 24h ago. What else is there to add outside of re-reading his post to you…?
