Hey guys, just saw these pop up on Trusty, I've seen BF previously with 15202's although those didn't look quite as good IMO.












Price is quite appealing, wish there were better shots of the dial. What do we think?

Need qc pictures and a couple of Audemars owners to get input. At this price point, it's probably not a winner.... Who knows.

very very hard to tell from those pictures.

You need proper QC high res pictures and possibly someone to bite the bullet and buy some and do a review. The quality feel of the bracelet and watch etc....impossible to tell by pictures.

It could be just the lighting in the photos creating that look. But yeah, need photos that show the details better.

This is one thing I noticed right away. Tapisserie will also never be gen-like unless they actually use a pantograph, but I'll want to see better shots than these sterile photos to examine the dial a bit.

I don't know much about the bezel proportions for the 15500 - how do those look to someone who knows what to look for?

Sharp, E.

The bezel proportion of this release is not correct in terms of the overall width, ratio of the brushed surface to over diameter and slope gradient. That last must be wrong if the previous 2 are.

I will bite and order a leather strap one. Always liked the AP, but the full bracelet is too much for me. And price is fair for once!
