I just wanted to share a thread and love to Royal Oaks and was really curious on what other peoples opinions are on their favourite Royal Oak. Ill start off by saying 15202 just edges it in front of the 15300.

jjnd08 · 16 May 2015, 03:28 AM

I'm beginning to think the 15400 for me.

Not a big fan of the ROs with complications.

15202 doesn't have a second hand, which kills it for me.

I can't get past the "AP" at the 12, not a fan of no marker next to the date window, and also the larger bezel and smaller dial are a bit of a turnoff for me.

I think if they brought the design elements of the 15400 to the 15300, it would be perfect. Given all that, it's hard to beat the quality, wrist presence, and still being less than 10mm thick that the 15400 provides.

Lemarp · 16 May 2015, 03:49 AM

15400 - agree with all jj's points above.

benlee · 16 May 2015, 04:08 AM

The Jumbo by a big margin. It's dimensions and proportions are just perfect. I ever owned both the 15400 and Jumbo together for a while and when I compare them, it become too obvious that the 15400 with the slightly bloated dimensions started to look "off" to me when compare to the perfection of the Jumbo.

I'm guessing that I'll be in the minority by voting for the ROC...I just like chronos too much.

Same here.

15202

Joearch · 16 May 2015, 07:40 AM

15400 is my fav. I like the proportion of bezel to cyrstal and feel of the watch better.

lapince · 16 May 2015, 08:48 AM

The most beautiful to me is the Jumbo, but the lack of second hand would probably stop me from getting one, so I would say 15300, I was so stupid 1,5 year ago not to pull the trigger on a mint blue dial from 2009 at a giveaway price compared to what they go for nowadays

rebel_1 · 16 May 2015, 10:26 AM

Jumbo. Lack of second hand doesn't matter to me. At first it did, but the history of this reference is what puts it in first for me.

Hairdude1 · 16 May 2015, 11:52 AM

I love the jumbo

15400

Sho-nuff · 17 May 2015, 03:22 AM

I voted ROC, although it would be better if the poll differentiated between the 39mm and 41mm versions, in the same way it does for the 15300/15400.

watchnutty · 17 May 2015, 09:45 AM

for me the chrono on the 41mm RO completes the watch. it looks plain and naked to me in the 15400 version.

watchnutty · 17 May 2015, 09:55 AM

I like a second hand not to time things but because I like to see the watch "living", but the Jumbo is a beauty and I think I could do without on this particular model.

I see the dual time has very little love, I kinda like it with the blue dial, but I like asymmetrical blue dials

sebastien1975 · 17 May 2015, 11:49 PM

Jumbo. I actually find the lack of second hand more appeasing when i stare at the dial.

I am more surprised people like the ROC more than the 15300

Well, I think the 202 and 400 are in similar categories so they will take a lot of votes, and for me I see AP as quite the sporty luxury brand and so like to see chronos on mine, esp as the ROOs are a little too thick for me these days.

I really like this one.
