Voices on 15202BC or 15202OR
Hey guys,
just wanted to hear some voices/opinions on the rose gold or "salmon" dial white gold jumbos. Somebody owning? Some photos or videos of the beauties? Thanks best Nick |

The salmon dial is a stunning watch and a true grail, but I fear it’s unobtainium unless you have an excellent purchase history and a sales person who is truly working for you.
The secondary market markup on this one is insane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both are beauties, I'd go for the RG, think the salmon is not as pink/orange as I'd like as detailed below.

I'm purist when comes to the Jumbo so I prefer the original steel/blue.
Between the two you mention, I'll go for the rose.

Thanks. There are just one or two videos of the bc online - just cannot image this "salmon" color - seems more like gold for me.

I would love to own the BC. The WG and salmon dial is a unique combo.

Salmon dial white gold is very cool but market price is around $130k vs $70k for the OR.
If you can get it from a boutique then go white gold all day :) |

I handled the salmon and let me tell you, the only salmon on that dial is from the date disk. The dial itself is kind of a beigey off-pink colour. I personally did not find it appealing at all. Check the pic and you'll see what I mean.

I think both are great ref. It's hard to just pick one. I have the ST, IP, OR and patiently waiting for my BC to come in.

It’s not a salmon dial. I am not sure why everybody keeps calling it that. It’s pink gold per AP. Again not salmon which would be much nicer imho.

15202BC is hands down the most beautiful. Must see in person. AP’s white gold looks nothing like steel

All look great to me and fit beautifully, however no second hand or screw down crown was a deal breaker for me when I was looking at the RG blue 15202

Yes, totally understand and fully agree! My point was if money was not a factor I would go for the white gold one since I love that aesthetic. However the almost double price of the white gold puts it out of the budget for most.
