15300 or 15202?

15202. It's an icon.

Bumping this thread as I'm considering adding one of these 2. I prefer the white/silver dial as from pics the blue dial doesn't look as 'blue' as I'd like. Would love to hear thoughts on the two...

I also like the silver dial as it seems that it has some kind of internal illumination to it. The Jumbo is really the true iconic Genta design and is a magic piece. It is also thinner and more delicate, which I prefer, and without the second hand, gives it sophisticated elegance. I think if I had gone with the 15300 or 15400, I would have always been lusting after the Jumbo and would lose money in the end.

Regarding the color, I was debating between the 15300, 202, and the Nautilus 5711 as I wanted to add a stainless sports watch with a blue face but the Jumbo won hand's down. The darker blue gave it more elegance and I felt would be easier to wear with a suit. The blue color is absolutely perfect. I imagine that most of the photos that get posted of the Jumbo are a little deceptive as most people (myself included) try to angle the shot in order to get the reflection off of the AP logo at 6 o'clock. As such, the reflection of the crystal probably makes it look a lot darker than it is. The blue of the Jumbo also changes with the lighting or angle.

I would recommend trying them all though to ensure it wears well on your wrist.

Here are a few pics of my Jumbo and one of the 15400 that I tried before.

Good luck with your choice and we'll look forward to pics once you make the decision.

15202 all day!

Jumbo, always room for one piece w/o running seconds. If you need reassurance, the tick is beautiful to LISTEN to

Superb pic. I was gonna say 15300 as the Genta blues are more a grey/blue but this will do just fine as well.

Thanks. Every now and again the light hits it perfect and out comes the iPhone. Hopefully while I'm at a red light.

I think the 15202 is more dressy than the 15300 however, the 15300 is an amazing everyday watch that goes well with a t-shirt or suit. It is annoying you'll have to get it 2nd hand, but the hunt took me 6 months which is annoying but in the end, you'll love the watch more!

I tried on a 15202 and at the end of the day preferred the 15300 with blue dial. The 15202 is an icon, but it is "mute" without a second hand. I also have a BLNR to go with it on a SJ bracelet. Both are great everyday watches you can wear to everything and with everything.

15300 for me - I enjoy the seconds hand among other outstanding attributes.

15202. Absolutely stunning watch.

15202 with all the money in the world. For a mere mortal like myself, the 15300 provides great value. Classic proportions and modern touches at a fraction of the price.

Stunning pic! The several recent threads about 15202's are really making me want to get one.

Picture tells the answer.

I've had both but the 15202 is a keeper

15202. I'm not a fan of the 15300. I don't like the AP at 12 o'clock, the thick end of the second hand on it, or the white date wheel.
