Royal Oak 15202st - Welding Marks
Hi All,
I've recently acquired a 15202st full set with box papers. While it has been verified at the boutique, one thing that bothers me is the welding marks at the inner clasp. I did a quick search on the internet and found that there is a variation to this issue, some came without, some are semi-welded, and some are fully welded like mine. Appreciate if any 15202st owners (earlier model with single fold clasp) could chip in on this matter Pics of the watch: Pics from internet (note the inner clasp) fully welded: Semi-welded: |

Sorry the photos arent showing.
So the first 2 photos are mine. Notice the weld marks on inner clasp, which are also evident on the other 2 photos i have found from other dealers. |

Doesn't look right to me. I don't think AP would release a bracelet unfinished like that.

I would be suspicious - does not look AP made to me (that part of the bracelet)?

I'm guessing it could be an issue of a broken clasp that was repaired? Anyway I will bring the watch to AP Singapore to have it checked. Maybe purchase a replacement clasp for it.
