Perspectives on the 'Jumbo', 10 days on...

 
 By: hewitgar : November 21st, 2011-10:02
I posted 10 days ago on my most recent acquisition, my first AP, which as it happens was a fortuitousencounter with a 15202, blue dial version. I have worn the watch for 10 days now and wanted to provide my insights and some more photos. This is where i l...  

So many beautiful details to see ...

and you covered them very well, Gary. Thanks a lot, for sharing with us! Oliver

As you say, it is in the details

 
 By: hewitgar : November 28th, 2011-13:18
Thanks!

only thing i don't like

 
 By: ban me : November 21st, 2011-13:10
is that black rubber between bezel and case, they should hide it like they did it with RO perpetual or 15300

I see what you mean

 
 By: hewitgar : November 28th, 2011-13:20
But don't mind it... And in a strange way, links he model to those rubber-clad big brother models.. Thanks Gary

Nice work Gary..

And there are several watches that I would consider too small for me, so we cover he market! Gary

Maybe I can

 
 By: hewitgar : November 28th, 2011-13:26

 By: BluNotte : November 30th, 2011-21:37
I also have my fair share of Non Platinum, i wish it wasnt this way though! But you enjoy your watch! Stephen

One of the best looking back sides I have every seen.

and feedback. It is always a pleasure to share, and hear your thoughts. I shall wear the jumbo a while longer I suspect, as I further appreciate it, and the AP product it is. Cheers G

Great post. Thank for all the excellent pictures! Enjoy the watch she's a beauty!

One drawback.

 
 By: gvkent : November 27th, 2011-14:02
Great post, well done photos. I have an identical model and my only gripe is that the steel scratches very easily. Unlike my gold Rolex, where the scratches produce a pleasant patina, this watch merely looks scratched after a few months wear. Otherwise I ...

You're right.

 
 By: hewitgar : November 28th, 2011-13:03
And mine has a couple of fine scratches already now between 12 and 1 on the polished section of the bezel... But then a few watches I have have done the same. Rolex steel does appear more resilient... And they do market the fact that they use surgical gra...
