15202 light ?
Does it feel very light on the wrist after wearing 15202 steel ? I was offered 15400 Blue but refused because I thought it was too big. Now I am thinking was my decision right ?

202 feels absolutely perfect on the wrist and that is what contributes to its iconic and timeless presence.

I have tried on the 15300, and it wasn't heavy. I can't imagine the Extra-Thin being heavier than the 300!

15202 is absolutely beautiful but it was too light for me, plus it was missing a few things: screw down crown, seconds hand, quickset date.
The 15400 is what I chose and love it! But if the 15400 was too big then go 15300 or 15202. |

The SS Jumbo is very light IMHO, but not too light.

The 15202 is more like the weight of a 5711 than it is the 15400. Its "extra thin" all over, bracelet and all. Only you can determine if it feels right for you.

I also must admit, as much as I love how the 15202 looks and the history, it has always felt more "delicate" to me...likely due to the weight. As such I went with a blue 15400 which was similar, but a little more heft to it.

Already refused 15400 Blue now I'm not sure about 15202. I know if I refuse this too they won't entertain me no more. I liked the heft of 15400 and at the same time I tried RG15202 even all the sales representatives told me 15202 SIZE looked good. So after I left the boutique I realised how it would feel in steel.

ive had 15300/15202/15400 and the only one i still own and have owned nearly 10 years is 15202. has more character has history it's made to be light and invisible on wrist. the 15300 was created to grab market demand of the 15202 they could not produce enough of, the 15400 was created to grab the trend of larger watches because the 39mm wasnt selling well in 15300 and the ROC... do you want a trend or something thats been top of it's game for 45 years straight? go 15202. |

I wouldn't say it's too light. The 15202 has a nice wrist presence. As for the size difference it depends on your wrist. For me the 15400 wore way too large. I went with the 15202 and have no regrets.

15202 light ?
I think I'm Still confused...thinking to buy both then I've to let go Daytona C If by any chance I keep both I'll put a rubber or leather strap on 15400 and then I wonder is it worth. I really liked the dial on 15400 I can still picture it but didn't like the size. Already gave a deposit for 15202
