A watch winder means you do not need to set the date and hence renders not having a quick set date meaningless but potato tomato.
okay now I get it

In addition, it has a movement that I qualify as superior in specifications (power reserve for example) and in-house. In addition, it fills the bottom of the box well and does not seem to swim like it was previously the case.
I also adore the absence of "automatic", it is an advantageous correction in my eyes because I never understood why there is need to specify it.
The argument that it is thicker makes me smile, it remains a proportionate and thin watch.

They are all magnificent, and sometimes you have to make a choice, for me the 15500 is my perfect RO.

For me im the opposite. I just couldnt get along with the 15202 due to the annoying date situation and lack of seconds hand....The 15500ST for me is the ideal daily driver.

Different strokes as they say. I love the 15202, liked the 15500. The date is not a problem as I leave it on a winder when not wearing it. And the absence of a second hand has cured me of habitual timekeeping accuracy check sickness!!

The watch thinness is addictive. Hard to wear a thick Rolex now.
