15400OR vs. 15202ST
Hey Gents
I need your help here again. I feel as though i may have made a BIG mistake. I just flipped my jumbo for the 15400OR. I haven't yet worn the 15400 besides out the dealer to my house, so i could possibly take it back and reverse the whole deal. Do you think I've made a mistake or have i just bought an equally special piece. |

Nope. I’d make that trade. Anyone that has a 15400or that wants to do a straight trade for a 15202, let me know!

My first thread/post on TRF:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=547552 In my situation, it was the 15400OR on strap, so the choice was perhaps easier. |

In your scenario, if you do like the rose gold, I would still undo the trade, and trade for a 15202OR. Best of both worlds. |

Perhaps the 15202OR would answer all of your questions?

Because of my occupation, neither the ST or OR will get much wrist time. Ill wear them once a week on average. What worries me most is the question of whether ive let go a really unique piece. Even though ive replaced it with something that is a statement in itself, is it just as coveted and unique.

The 15202 is one of the greatest in terms of size. I think I’d pretty much any mans sweet spot. Big wrist and small wrists alike. But the 15400OR is a beast. I personally would of done that trade even if you had to add cash. The true sweet spot would of been a jumbo in RG.
If your wrist can handle the size than I say you should wear your 15400 with health and happiness.

Fair enough, altho I think the 400 bracelet is divine so I'd enjoy it for a while longer before flipping to the Jumbo RG.

I prefer not to loose money on the 400 so ill return it in a practically unworn state and take back the jumbo, whilst i wait for the RG version. At least thats my plan. I hate this situation, I want everything.

Maybe biased as I got 15202ST just recently, size and proportions are absolutely perfect (having also ROO)...whatever comes next its a definite keeper...

Its back!!! See the above link for a little write up of the emotional roller coaster from trading to regretting to having the jumbo returned. One thing for sure, I will not consider trading again. If a RG version comes along i will be seriously tempted, but other than that i will not budge. Time to appreciate this piece for what it is and enjoy it. |
