Anyone moved from a 15300 to a 15202, curious on your thoughts in the change.

I'm considering letting my black dial 15300 go to pick one up. It seems a bit redundant to keep both, but I know the 15300s are getting harder to find.

Do it. 202 is much more refined IMO.

Agreed with above. Do it. A definite upgrade.

mws222 · 13 May 2016, 03:14 AM

I figured this is the response I'd receive, just needed that extra push

15202

dr.ns23 · 13 May 2016, 03:31 AM

Do it do it! 15202 is a great watch!

Peterandwatches · 13 May 2016, 06:50 AM

Honestly, nah. They're similar enough that a swap wouldn't be that exciting to me.

Oh with the blue dial I think it is quite exciting, saw it in real and they are amazing, with the PP 5711/5712 it is the most amazing SS blue dialed watch ever...

psv · 13 May 2016, 06:51 AM

I would say so, but only if you can live with the last of second hand and date quick change. 15202 is where the magic is, IMO.

AK797 · 13 May 2016, 10:21 AM

Seems a natural progression, but not if you prefer black or white dials or seconds hands or... wait a second.

kneedeep · 13 May 2016, 12:03 PM

I've had similar thoughts. I would say yes even though I love my 300's white dial and would be tough for me to let that one go.

thomaspp · 13 May 2016, 01:41 PM

15300 is great but the 202 bring a lot more to the table

I'll go against the grain. Is the 202 amazing--of course. However, giving up a 15300 today would be a tough thing for me to do.

Cabaiguan · 14 May 2016, 01:02 AM

I wouldn't let go of a black dial 15300...and that's coming from someone who loves their 202. It's harder and harder to find a nice 300.

Cru Jones · 14 May 2016, 01:49 AM

for me, no....the extra cost + losing the 15300 (seconds hand especially) would be too steep a price to pay.

i would imagine sourcing the 15300 blue dial would be less expensive. but, if you want "the original", then, there is no substitute.

Vipes · 14 May 2016, 02:39 AM

I say do it. The 15202 is sleeker but the 15300 is sportier with the thicker case. If you want a more refined version of the 15300 then look at the 15305.

Hairdude1 · 14 May 2016, 04:01 AM

15202 is the "Royal Oak"

I just saw a birth year 5402 so that would be my real RO... but I still want your 44 more.

Anytime buddy

bzabodyn · 14 May 2016, 11:22 PM

As funny as it is, they fit rather differently too so I think if one works perfectly for you the other may not. This was the case for me and why I went 15300. That and I just can't get over the "fragile" feeling of the 202 - sacrilege I know....

brettpaul · 14 May 2016, 04:34 AM

Tough call mate - I prefer the 15202, but the 15300 is becoming a real collector....maybe shift another piece in your collection to keep both?

I'm thinking that may be a better idea too, then I can make a real decision once I have both in hand.

mineral · 15 May 2016, 12:46 AM

Sharp black dial RO. Nice shot.

Le Chef · 15 May 2016, 01:12 AM

I looked at blue dialed versions of both and bought the 15300. On the 15202 I didn't like the lack of second hand, and at the time the deployment felt cheap and "tinny" though I think on the newer versions that's changed. No regrets with the decision, and would repeat the same decision if it came around again.

FlyinM3 · 15 May 2016, 05:13 AM

Just tried on the 202 blue dial J serial....need to resist...

Abdullasaif · 18 May 2016, 04:38 AM

Yeah ofc i made the switch with 0 regrets

masyv6 · 18 May 2016, 05:12 AM

Another vote for the 15202 from me!

Nyquist · 20 May 2016, 05:09 AM

Wow! I really like the RO Skeleton 15305.
