Beautiful watch, but no seconds hand would be a deal breaker for me.
0:36 I would do anything to get my hands on a 1969 Seiko Quartz of Astron. That to me is my grail, maybe the Rolex Oysterquartz blue day-date in white gold being a close second.
Amazing
Great watch great size. The lack of a second hand is a no no for me. I get that it’s paying homage to the original which didn’t have a second hand. However without one a watch doesn’t feel alive to me.
Great informative clip , great job.
Hi Dylan, why this ultra thin Jumbo 15202ST doesn’t equipped with a second hand?
If you review a very thin watch, it would be a good idea to include the thickness of the watch.
Grail
There should be a special discount on this model for people born in 1972 😉
If only it had a seconds hand for that reason I love the 15300.
The dial pattern is “tapisserie” (tapestry), not “patisserie” (pastry).
That variation of the 15202 is the best they have done in many years. I would not, however, qualify this as a sports watch. Given its thinness and elegance, it’s more a dress watch on a bracelet than an actual sports watch. Besides, between the fragility of the caliber 2121, the delicate brushed finishing, the mediocre water resistance and the astronomical cost of servicing it with AP, one would be a fool to engage in any sports activity with it.
You are exactly right on AP’s reliance on the RO line. Frankly, they should rename themselves “The Royal Oak Company”, because there’s nothing in the rest of their production that’s worth owning over a PP, VC or A.L&S.
You can if you buy the 33 quartz version 🙂
have the JF 15202 replica exact like original same case thickness +447746274700
Great review
Shame on me that I just saw this watch a few day ago for the first time. In my eyes this is the most beautiful watch ever.
Overrated. A mechanical watch without a second hand is like….
Grail watch right there. One day…
Nice video mate
In my opinion AP makes the most beautiful timepieces ever. Great video as usual!!
Amazing review! AP would be so lucky to employ you as the brand ambassador. RO, my favourite of all time.
Simply beautiful, a must have for every serious watch collector.
One day….
How the RO supposed to be. A serie shit. Its a classic!
My grail piece, period!
