one of my better purchase decisions . . .

StuartM1970 · 22 February 2014, 07:27 PM

Well, luckily, the local dealer didn't have one in stock.

Tried a self-winding at 41mm, but thought it too similar in stature to other watches I have. Although, some of them will have to go.

Also was a silver dial, which was a bit bling for my taste.

Was retailing at 63,000 AED, or $17,154. I'd expect 10% off that as a matter of course.

Will await the next round of extra thins and a gander at a blue one. It will be priced at 80,000 AED, or $21,782, with a discount unlikely on a model they don't have enough stock of.

Will see what Hong Kong airport duty free has to say about those prices on a fly through due in about 10 days.

Or maybe I should just wait for a dose of buyers remorse to hit one of you lot!

dysondiver · 22 February 2014, 07:37 PM

so in a similar price bracket to the aquanaut roughly speaking ,,, that would make a tough choice ,,, very tough .

HL65 · 22 February 2014, 11:49 PM

Truly a photogenic watch...One of most photogenic if not the most that I have ever had! Cheers,

dysondiver · 22 February 2014, 11:53 PM

it really is spectacular ,,, in its simplicity ,, sophistication.

bparone · 23 February 2014, 12:45 AM

Those a gorgeous. Definitely starting to appreciate AP with this extra thin.

stevenopoly · 23 February 2014, 06:19 AM

love all the photos of the ap thin. I used to not like the royal oak design, but I've learned to fall in love with it recently. Looks beautiful. I hope to own one someday.

Absolutely stunning watches in this thread! Congrats to all of you who have recently bought the AP Jumbo. It is clearing up my wish list as I have been trying to decide if this is the version of the Royal Oak I would like. Your enabling has certainly turned the tide for me. Congrats everyone.

DECR · 26 February 2014, 03:07 AM

Love it. RO 15202 definitely is a beautiful watch.

For those of you who bought it. What would you say is a good price to pay for this piece? There is some saying about this piece selling at no discounts, inclusively at higher than MRSP. Plus the "boutique only" availability.

Thanks for the enabling!

Chulo · 26 February 2014, 09:31 AM

It's a gorgeous piece. New style or old, you can't go wrong.

That's a great shot, Ben. I'm with you, new or old, they both look timeless and fantastic.

Spectacular thread.

Ken's shots are just obscene. The rest aren't too shabby ....

DECR · 5 March 2014, 09:11 AM
