I'm tempted to say that the Jumbo and 15400 have more differences than similarities, but that would be nonsense hyperbole. :-)

Seriously, though, it's not just the diameter. It's that, plus case thickness, plus bracelet width and thickness, plus the cleaner (less flashy) dial. The 15202 wears more like a 5711 than it does a 15400. I really like both watches a lot, but the difference is way bigger than you'd expect.

The blue dial reminds me of looking into a bottle of "blue black" fountain pen ink. It doesn't look blue at all from some angles and in some lighting. It's more like black with blue undertones that appear from certain angles or reflections. Like a woman with beautiful dark brown hair where you catch hints of red when the light strikes it. You'd never call her a redhead, but the tones and shine give depth and interest.

Probably more than you were asking!

Thanks for all the additional comments! This is a really beautiful and comfortable watch to wear. I never thought I'd like "pink" gold, but I'm liking it more and more all the time - at least AP's version of it.
