I like it in pics but the general consensus doesn't seem to treat it well to say the least.

How many different fonts do they use in that dial...!? I see three different types for the number "2".

another code thread... I don't think people's opinions will change anytime soon... if they could only change the dial but I do like the two tone idea...

It looks like a fashion forward watch from 1986.

CODE 11.59 Two-Tone Hands-on Review>>>>>>>>

I don’t have the TO or the Chrono but with a bit of context it makes a lot of sense - they’re trying to modernize some old styles (CODE, Remaster, probably will be another remaster soonish)

Photos are not mine (all from IG)

I am in the minority, but I like the Code. The new collection looks great with some dynamic colors and dials. The two tone case looks awesome.
I like mine.

As I have said before, if this watch waste an AP I believe it would be much better received.

AP pushed the envelope and thought outside of the box, which I appreciate, but this watch is not a traditional AP experience which is part of the backlash.

Great review, thx!

Great photos!

Looks like we've got a good case...we've got a good dial color now...just need good indices and number font and dial markers and we've got a winner!

Thanks! I think I am going to go for it. Other members have brought up good points in value which is important but still really like it. I will post pics if I get it.

Perhaps it will help with my waitlist for the 15202BC! : )

I would really get some form of at least verbal commitment and try to offer putting down a deposit on the 15202 if you buy the code at retail.

My AD offered 15202st if I’d commit to buy a 11.59 code. Not sure if this is a good deal. I plan to get a 2-tone black dial one just for the sake of buying 15202st at retail price.

That’s a pretty sweet deal. No brainer in my book

I must admit, there are improvements here.
The new dials are quite nice.
I bet you the first watches, the ones we hate today, will be highly sought after in 2 decades from now.

If I were you, I would take it right away. Are you talking about the boutique in Paragon, Bangkok?
