Hi guys,

had the pleasure to try on a 16202or today. Wonderful, wonderful piece. Tried on a 15202or years ago but forgot to take pics then. Always remembered I thought it was pushing the limits then, but didn't have the ability to check. Since trying the 15202 on I gained a few pounds, but my wrist is still a pretty flat 6.5 inches.

I'd really appreciate your opinion on fit for this piece. Of course it won't be happening from AP anytime soon, but who knows how things will develop in the coming years.

On the wrist it was great, though again I felt it was pushing the limits a little. Apart from a few GS and a 36mm Datejust, that I wear regularly, I have a 5164a that is fine imo.

Attached for your reference a wristshot, a bodyshot and a wristshot of my 5164a. Sorry for the horrible quality on the bodyshot. What do you guys think? Does it work on my wrist well enough to pursue this for the forseeable future?

Also tried on a 15550 again in silver - dual tone case however. Been on the list for a silver 15450 for quite some time, so this might actually happen sometime, who knows. You got to start somewhere. Felt smaller than the pure steel one, but in all steel it was fine when I wore it for the first time at my last visit...

Great pics
From my point of view the 37mm look
better on your wrist

V25V · 2 August 2022, 11:39 PM

Absolutely! 39/40mm is where its at!

GB-man · 2 August 2022, 11:51 PM

Looks fine.

VogelPhoenix · 3 August 2022, 12:04 AM

Looks good, size is not the problem here...

Vipes · 3 August 2022, 01:37 AM

Perfect fit.

brandrea · 3 August 2022, 01:49 AM

Perfecto IMO

AP are bigger watches, so they should not fit like a calatrava etc. Given that, the jumbo looks perfect on you.

The jumbo has a wider lug to lug for it's diameter so it wears bigger than your average 39mm, but I think looks like the perfect AP for your size.

Now you just need 70k and an allocation, or many times that if you can't

macrowatch · 3 August 2022, 03:46 AM

Oh yeah, perfect! Up close and far away photos all look good.

sigma089 · 3 August 2022, 04:48 AM

Thanks guys, really appreciate the input! Hope things continue to cool down in the coming year(s) and I'll be able to purchase from AP directly or at pre-madness levels BNIB. OR is incredible, but ST would be easier to swallow tbh.

m3tek44 · 3 August 2022, 05:02 AM

stunning!! It's a perfect match.

mickyd329 · 3 August 2022, 08:15 AM

I think it fits just fine. Doesn't look big on your wrist at all.

How long you wait so far?

16202 looks perfect!

sigma089 · 4 August 2022, 06:28 AM

I expressed my interest about three years ago, but my SA messed up my profile for some reason, so it was reregistered about 1 1/2 years ago.

Benzsiam · 4 August 2022, 09:17 PM

All of them look good on your wrist.

I agree. Go for the 16202

pav333hp · 5 August 2022, 02:35 AM

Woooow!!! The 16202 looks absolutely GORGEOUS (in general as a watch), and sit well on your wrist. If you can get one in the next few years, go for it.

l_chissle · 5 August 2022, 06:00 AM

39 looks great on you. Think it wears similarly to your 5164

AperolSpritz · 5 August 2022, 07:05 AM

16202 all day - everyday
no doubt possible and you get the iconic AP...
