AP 15202 owners question
Hello,
Since a few days I have a 15202 (from 2014). I know the waterresistance specs, 50m. What do you do with the watch in terms of waterresistance (washing hands, swimming, etc.), and how far can you go without trouble? Any reaction/advice is welcome! OS. |

Washing hands , no problem.
There are conflicting opinions if Swimming is or is not ok. The lack of a screw down crown may be the weakness.

I wouldn't swim with a RO, simply because I wouldn't want to knock it against anything, and ruin the beautiful and intricate finish of the case and bracelet. Washing hands is no problem.

I often wash my Jumbo under running tab water. No issue.

I stayed out of the pool with mine, didn't want to risk it.
No issues with splashing or washing my hands with it on. |

Have to agree with the consensus and it's unfortunately the main reason I don't have one. Gorgeous though! Pics?

Nice pair of watches you have there. I don't hesitate to wash hands with the Jumbo (unless you're scrubbing for surgery I suppose), but I would never go swimming with it on. No screw in crown so I wouldn't want to risk for the service cost and the long time I would have to go without it if there were any repairs that need to be made. And as others have said, I'd be just as afraid to scratch the bezel or beautiful bracelet in the pool than anything else.
You've got a beautiful rose gold watch there so even more reason to be reluctant. Take care of them, and you'll enjoy them for a lifetime.
