Looking for thoughts and experiences. I get the argument for the 15202 - 39mm, thinner, truer to the original...but if you can get the 15400 for significantly less, is the difference in size that noticeable and important? Trying to see if I should continue to build up funds or go for the 15400. Anyone gone through this and have thoughts?
jumbo....unless you can't live without a second hand. Have you had the opportunity to "test drive" them on your wrist? They do fit and feel quite different. Good luck in your quest....I am envious.
I suggest also trying on a 14790 as well. You'll find there isn't that much difference in size between the 36 and 39mm.
Happened to me last year. But I went with what was available. I was wait listed on both. 15202 with a Singapore AD and 15400 with a Hong Kong AD. It was Hong Kong AD which called first.
Tried on the 15400 and it is stunning. Going to see what it will take to get the 15202 - the size and the detail on the oscillating weight might just be about the most perfect watch for me. Will see how long and how hard I have to work to get one . Appreciate the thoughts everyone.
Congrats! Maybe not the worst choice in my watch world (but darn close) was owning a 15202 and letting it go....
I'd go for the 15400 due to the second hand. But honestly, both references are absolute beautiful watches worth owning! So congrats!
