[DennTs]

Hi all,

Need some input, I have opportunity to buy 15202ST white dial, first gen 15202.
What do you think?

I am not familiar with this watch at all.

Thx.

It’s not a popular watch but if it sings for you, then that’s what matters the most.

I’d go blue for jumbo when I can, which has the history, and brand recognition. White - no for me unless price is too attractive.

I consider the white jumbo 15202 is popular and quite rare as it is only jumbo available in white color dial. The white is pure white as compare to the white (in fact is silvery color) dial on 15400.

The case and movement is exactly the same as other jumbo 15202st. I don’t see any reason not to collect the white color if the price is right and fit you. Just to make sure that the jumbo 15202 is slim and long lug to lug size. it will sit better if you have flat wrist. Try it in person before you buy.

I own few royal oak and 15202 white is one of them. I remember I bought it new from the AD because it is the only dial color available that time. However I have no single regret and Never get tired of it.

I say go for it!

Assuming that you've tried it on and the watch suits your wrist, you won't regret it.

Worst case scenario - you can always have AP swap the dial for you

I say if you like it go for it, even though it is the less popular dial choice, it might prove in the long run to be a future collectible due to it's rarity. I think the Nautilus will go through a similar path, the white has now become pretty popular and should have great value retention and conductibility in the future. As far as the watch it is the older generation 15202, but this is not a bad thing, its got a cooler AP inner clasp and in my opinion a much nicer looking detailed rotor which I prefer over the current style. If you go with what you like and you like the white dial you can't go wrong, especially if you buy right.

thank you all for the advise. What might be the fair price for this 15202 in your opinion?

That is a little tougher to answer, the current watch economy has made the prices a little crazy especially for high demand items. The white Jumbo is not typically high demand but any descendants or variations and even vintage models of "hot watches" have been prone to price increases recently. The white dial Jumbo hasn't been immune to this. In other words it depends and there will be a range from sellers try to get the most to perhaps private sellers or Greys trying to unload.

See the following sold examples from three different years to get some ideas. If it where me I would use the 2018 price as a baseline (from a well know and reputable forum seller) and negotiate from there. Try not to get depressed when you look at the oldeest price.

Hey DennTs I know that watch and tried it on the other day (i presume it is the same one). The dial has a bit of a patina I thought and I guess I thought the price was pretty heavy. But lord knows these don't come up very often.

no interest in a 15400 at all?
