The 44 really is a massive, in-your-face watch - and, by rights, only people with a physique like The Rock should wear them...but the shear excess of the pieces are what make them so fun!

in fact, when i first started my RO adventure, it was the 400 that caught my eye. at which point i already had a ROO, and did a quick comparo. see for yourself, i think the sizing is fairly closer than to the jumbo.
and just like the ROO you'll definitely feel the weight of the 400 on the wrist. not so with the jumbo.



Love both of those watches, especially an offshore on bracelet. I remember seeing a post that revealed a steel offshore on bracelet to be close to 450g.

The two dials look like it occupies about the same amount of real estate on both of the watches.

Should've known, that makes much more sense. I'm not sure what I was wishing for there

I think the 15400 dial (not with bezel/case, just dial) is bigger than the ROO.

Can somebody verify this?

Can someone please let me know the retail price of the 15202ST in the States? Haven't been able to find it anywhere. Also, what are the waits looking like?

There is a + Show Price link on their website. It is $22,700.

The platinum should weigh more than the brick I think, or do they both come in at 450g?

From what I hear, the 15202st has a few years waiting list in the US, although I can not personally confirm that as I have never inquired about it

Don't think- just pull the trigger! If you want it that badly I'm sure once it lands on your wrist you will quickly forget about the third hand

As a useless point of trivia, AP owned 40% of JLC at the time of design. Richard Mille watches are made at Renaud and Papi, which is owned by AP. And they seem to be okay . The fully integrated and designed movement thing is a more recent development. And AP is one of only 2 watch hours still owned by the original families! Bonus!

Both of these watches will benefit more than most by trying them on.

When I had the chance to do this, I knew immediately which one was going to be on my wrist.
