I had the opportunity to be invited for viewing of pieces. the 16202 looks stunning with the 50th rotor. Personally feel the green is not for me but I understand it will be one of the hottest pieces in this line up.

Did they have the gold chrono with all blue dial? I'm trying to see how that blue dial is different from the blue dial with gold sub dials.

Yes sir the blue is of another lighter shade, very very slight difference to the naked eyes.

However, imo 26239OR looks aesthetically nicer due to the contras "rose gold" circles while the new 26240OR is all blue which is kinda dull.

I am a sucker for the jumbos and these perfect dimensions all three of them are absolutely stunning…if I had to do a top 3 :

1. 16202ST
2. 16202BA
3. 16202OR

It’s the most “ungreen” green dial I have ever seen…but yes it’s green. The green dial shows better with the rose gold case.

Just realized the Yellow gold is japan version, does it means it only for sale in japan? It makes me like it even more now

As far as I know the 16202BA is not a Japan exclusive and is “available” in every AP market!

I tried on the yellow gold in Nyc so I doubt it’s Japan only

The dial was amazing
The yellow didn’t scream yellow gold either
It was really nice

I think I actually fell in love with the 16202BA! So didn’t want that to happen…

I don't like that either - if all the heavy hitters fall in love with it, my chances drop from microscopic to zero

My focus is on the ST, to get allocated 2 RO anniversary is unthinkable!

Also from what I heard the BA is not the most in demand at least in HK (it is all about the ST and the OR)…there is hope!

Glad they didn't mess with Jumbo proportions... still the best integrated beacelet watch ever... amazing how it suits all sizes of wrists, it needs the extreme of extreme small/big wrists to make it bad looking...

Speaking of chrono, this one is most boring yet... they hired code dial designers for this one?

The 16202BA looks like it's from ancient Egypt! It's a really interesting YG colour

Hahaha you have a point!

Anyone who is interested to watch, Francois have had an interview with a collector named Horoloupe on Instagram after they announced the new anniversary models. It’s on His page
