I really like the 15202. I think it is about the blue dial. I want to see the new 5711R because I think I really like that one too! Of course the 5980 in RG is also stunning. I guess I like them all! It figures...

For me it's clearly the blue dial, because between the SS Jumbo and the SS 5711 both blue dials, I choose hands down the 5711, no question

Your poll is an easy one for me! I have a biased opinion.

Of Those definitely the AP Jumbo in Gold, the bracelet and casework in Gold is out of this world. I don't really like the Nautilus bracelet in gold, something is off about the polished center and brushed outside.. Pateks Standard Gold Bracelet is just amazing, like on the 5146/1R-001.

I think one of the best all gold Models is still the Rolex president, and I think the upcoming Rolex DD40 will be just perfect.

Very cool, for that price it wouldn't be first pick but me likey, the dial is very cool IMO, but don't you think it seems like they messed up the cases? Like if they had no time to waste on the cases and did a
quick one, like Genta who designed the RO during a dinner as I heard, but is not Genta who wants, not saying they're too bad but a little off to me for that price range

Typical Japanese – purity of form and function.
I don't know if the design was just unimaginative or whether there was some element of being chosen so as achieve the best/purest sonics from the special steel chosen to create the sound.

The Sonnerie came first, about 3 or 4 years before the Repeater, iirc.
Both still made, at a rate of 5 each per year.

Of course, we started on full gold pieces, deviated to RG on rubber, on leather, so with a full gold piece, even not the 3 in the poll, you are closer than many Stunning by the way
