So as some of you may know, I've been grappling with the idea of whether to go 37mm, 39mm or 41mm with the RO. Never had the opportunity to get a feel for all 3 sizes at the same time. I have a 7 inch wrist, but it's thick as supposed to wide, which makes it necessary to see things in the metal.

Anyway, I found myself in Delhi with few hours to kill and saw that AP has a dealer here (and AD called Kapoor Watch Co). I called in ahead and the guy at there office said they didn't have much at all but I was welcome to come in and have a look. I was bored and decided to go anyway and maybe try an offshore or two on.

But man, was I surprised. While stainless steel was absent (besides the standard offshore) they had some PM piece from every case size, which is exactly what I needed.
I found that I really, really liked the way the 37mm sat on my wrist. I t was super comfortable. But let me know what y'all think! Also I have to mention the salesman, Vikas. He was a pleasure to interact with and I highly suggest going through him if you are interested in any of these watches. Again , let me know what you think!

15202ba vs 15400or

2 tone 37mm, the 15202ba, all gold 37mm

I don't like big, clunky watches but man the ghost is one good looking dude.

Gold Jumbo on wrist. A little too much for me in terms of the gold, but the case dimensions are perfection.

15400Or - man this was a heavy watch, and not very comfortable with the strap. I feel it's a bit big, but you guys let me know what you think.

I absolutely hate two tone, but this watch is genuinely stunning. Urgh I love AP.

The others:

I know these aren't what everyone wants in terms of stainless steel, but I hope that you enjoyed this post :) Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! So which did you buy?

TooWoundUp · 14 August 2019, 03:28 PM

Haha, none unfortunately. I was there purely to get an idea of sizing. Will most likely end up going for a 37mm white dial, or look for a 39mm dual time on the Gray market. I still prefer the look of steel to PM.

Nice collection this AD has. I would go at least 39 mm. Good luck with the SS hunt.

TooWoundUp · 14 August 2019, 05:51 PM

Thanks! I think so too, with regards to 39mm. But I'm not paying 45k for a jumbo! So I guess either 39mm chrono, 15300 or the dual time!

Good luck with the decision!

TooWoundUp · 14 August 2019, 08:18 PM

Thank you! Maybe I'll order a piece unique from AP that checks all my boxes, like you....after I win the lottery of course :)

Great looking watches.

pepsiretail · 15 August 2019, 12:39 AM

Thanks for the post, a lot of fun to see.

I think a mint 15300st is the one for you, perfect proportions, uncluttered dial vs dual time with second hand and screw down crown vs 15202st.

LvingInaShed · 15 August 2019, 02:41 AM

Rose gold with the crocodile strap

Vipes · 15 August 2019, 03:59 AM

That YG Jumbo is awesome. Thanks for the pics!

I would agree. I only wish the white dial 15300 wasn't so matte. But still a beautiful watch.

Of course, a personal preference but the dial can be changed. Another member has a thread about changing his dial from black to white.

locutus49 · 16 August 2019, 11:21 AM

Most looked a little big on you, go for either 37 or 39 at the largest.

37 or 39 for your wrist size. A few pics had stunning watches yet looked oversized

I would agree. The 39mm was really the best. I think I'm going to start looking either for a dual time or 15300. But I do want to try an SS 15400 as well before I make any final decisions.

Man, I'd have bought that 15202 on the spot! I am also a huge fan of the TT RO. Really nice collection!

yippie123 · 23 August 2019, 04:55 AM

Its AD boutique or reseller? Do they give discount if its a reseller? Do PM SA contact details if you dont mind. Thanks in advance

dardeca · 24 August 2019, 12:38 AM

Hard to tell from the lighting, but is that a 15202 in white gold with the pink dial?

TooWoundUp · 24 August 2019, 02:37 AM

Nope, it's the all gold
