Incoming 15202! (And some thoughts on the piece)
After 2+ years of deliberation I finally pulled the trigger. The 15202. The Jumbo. The iconic masterpiece from AP. I could not be more excited.

First, let me say the watch is sublime. I had seen the Jumbo in stores before, but once you take the stickers off you truly realize just how amazing the level of finishing is. It is stellar.

Second, as someone who has a bigger wrist, I was worried about how the 15202 may look. Would it be too small? Would the bracelet be too stiff?

Well I am happy to report I absolutely love how it looks. It is a perfect fit for me. Yeah you see a little bit more bracelet from the top, but that's okay. And speaking of the bracelet... I love it. The bracelet has *just* enough lateral give in it to be comfortable on wrist, without being too rigid. It just forms to the shape of your wrist.

Without further ado... a wrist shot!

I absolutely love mine too. Pure class. I would never have thought I could get so much enjoyment out of a material thing, but the 15202 is worth every penny.

The bracelet is sublime. Really this watch is all about the bracelet. My 2 yr service is coming up and I don't know what Im going to do while my 15202 is away.

If I were to get one, I think I'd pony up for this model. But pretty sure it'll still be too big for my little wrist.

Looks great.

Good call. Everyone here told me I should go jumbo instead of 15400 and low and behold the 15400 is now gone pricey mistake
