Perfect 15202ST

What an elegant, balanced and classic piece! This is hopefully in my future. Right now I'm just happy to post this picture taken at the AD today!

Haven't seen a 202 that didn't look perfect to my eyes.

Get it and don't look back. That's definitely a keeper.

It's interesting, I've found myself feeling like 40mm+ is the right size for me recently with a preference of 42mm. The thing about the Royal Oak is that aside from the contextual history of the watch, the 202 is just cosmetically stunning, but additionally within the Royal Oak line, the bracelet is so beautiful that the smaller case actually accentuates the bracelet which in a way is just as much a feature and focal point as the case itself. It's almost as id the bigger the case is on a wrist the less you see of the bracelet. Make sense?

Anyway, this is definitely on my radar too.

beautiful watch! Random question but did you happen to snap a picture of the display back? I am wondering if the J series are all unmarked on the balance cock

What struck me is the incredible comfort of the 39mm vs. 41mm (which is of course also very comfortable), Perfect dress watch under the cuff at 39mm , esp. in light of its thinness and weight.

Love it. I've been trying to fight off the urge to get one of these (after letting my watch budget recover a bit) but I can't decide if I need another SS watch..
