Sincerely the most I like is new AP 15202.
I have trauma in the past with 3126/3840 movement because of chrono module and I don’t want again! From new AP ROO I like new ceramic black/red and new AP ROO 42 rose gold with dark grey dial!
If what I know it’s correct next year come with new AP in house movement for AP ROO and then I want to buy again a ROO!
Also like new PM Diver!
Who are your favorite my friend?

I'm intrigued to see the smoky blue dial of the 202. Also pleased for the 42 guys to get a black or grey ceramic. I was secretly hoping for a chrono or simple all ceramic RO but knew it was very unlikely.

I like a lot the rose gold diver, as long as not absurd price being limited number like how the QE11cup went otherwise I’ll settle for the 44mm Rg to go with my 42mm

[Etschell]

these are all great. too rich gor my blood.

[benlee]

Not impressed.

Only two pieces that I like, the RD2 Ultra Thin Perpetual calendar and the Ti/Pt limited edition Jumbo. Everything else are just cosmetic changes. Those colored divers are becoming more and more ghastly. AP copying what Omega did to their Speedmaster series and come up 1,0001 variation of the same watch.

And what? Still no inhouse chrono movement? Boo....

Agreed Ben. I guess the 42 ROO with a ceramic bezel is a step in the right direction, but would have loved to see an all-ceramic (this was something my source told me was an absolute no this year.) Overall, some interesting upgrades in material combinations, but nothing substantively new.

I've been told that the 15202IP is going to be north of 40K USD... Gotta rethink that now, actually.

[Marciano490]

32.5 I think.

I presume you would trade your old 202 for the new if it looked the business in the flesh rather than add?

The 42mm with ceramic bezel is a good addition but both models do not come in a color combination that is appealing to me.

Have to say the 15202IP should be very impressive in the flesh. It's also a 250pcs limited edition.

I have some hard thinking to do right now. I don't really want to give up a classic piece like the 15202ST, but this one should be quite stunning. I was tipped off by the HK boutique when I was checking out the 15403IP, as I remarked that it would be interesting to see this combo in the 15202. The boutique supervisor told me that I was in luck for SIHH, and that I would be delighted with a "fume" dial, as he remembered I looked at the all-platinum bracelet ROO a few months back and was pleased with the dial.

In person, the 15403IP didn't knock my socks off because of the dial, it was the platinum/Ti juxtaposition that really got my attention. Especially not at the $35,000 price tag it commanded, which is close to double that of the 15400. Even though it's an LE of 200, it's been a slow seller, as I saw 4/6 boutiques in HK still had them on display in December, when they were released in May. It makes me wonder how the 15202IP will sell if they ask $40,000 or more.

I'd be surprised if it came in at that price. Considering the 15400 in Ti/Pt is retailing for $35K, and the 26331IP is at $42.7K. The premium AP seems to be putting is close to double the ST retail it seems.

Some great stuff. Will be carrying my chequebook to Geneva on Friday.

[G'ed]

My fav (and most practical) is the ceramic bezel Offshore 42mm. It’s everything I wanted.


AP, get your act together to improve the reliability of your movement and you will get my money.

For which pieces?!?!?!?! ;)

[toucan]

The jumbo is amazing and I'm hoping one will be mine in the near future!

[toucan]

I'm hearing the price will be in the low 30's.

That does look good, esp on the GP red strap colours.

[eal15]

I can’t believe it but 42mm roo’s with ceramic bezels! I’m so happy!

If true, I am queuing up for one.

Good that AP finally add a ceramic bezel to a standard 42mm model. But this color combo doesn't sing to me. Black/Red reminds me too much of Dracula.

Yeah, glad its not the reverse panda or I might have had to do some thinking for a second.

Blue fumé if it looks as good as the plat 42 will be impressive, I like Moser's line of fumés so this could be very good.

[OH2004]

15202IP is going to be a big hit. It looks awesome.

But the 44mm titanium with ceramic bezel is $30,400. Doesn’t it have to be less than that?

the new grey one with the ceramic bezel is like the 2018 version of the rubberclad.
