15200 Questions...

[submarin1]

Hi all,
Currently looking at a Rolex 15200...I see two reputable authorized dealers have them. one is a 1995-96 and the other is a 2003.
Is there a website that would tell me the differences if any, between the two?
Does anyone have one of these, love the watch, but not sure if the 34mm will be a little small.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Don't know the diferences between modern models, but the OP Date is just a classic Rolex watch. I have a vintage 1500 and it wears just fine on my 7" wrist. The dial is only 1mm smaller than the dial on a Submariner, so it's all about case size not legibility.

Yep, me too. That's where I found out about the 1mm dial size difference... 29.5mm vs. 30.5mm.

I hope that's all you use Bob's for. Their serial number decoder is responsible for more mess than about any other online Rolex source.

Do you not recommend Bob's as a reputable rolex vendor?

I've never heard anything bad about them, it's just some of their information is wrong. I know of a friend who purchased a 114200 and the hands had been changed. Bobs refunded him immediately, at least their return process was easy.

I've got one. Was my daily wear for about 11 years until I got a Daytona. It is an incredibly reliable and simple piece and I had always considered it to be the watch I most associated with Rolex.

At 34mm it is small by modern standards. I have a 6.75 wrist and it fits well, although not conforming to the current vogue of what I would see as 'oversize'.

You may find 34mm a bit small and since it's just as thick as a DJ it appeared chubby to me when I wore an old AK a few years back. I took it back within the "love it or leave it" period and traded up to a DJ.
