Best 39mm Royal Oak AP

[gilrob]

What can refine a little in some aspects ?

1. Improve the QC, particularly on the bracelet. I had to do some filing on the clasp mechanism to make it work properly.
2. Add a dab of white paint on the "AP" logo, just like the ones on the gen and JF models.
3. Probably not necessary, but if the bezel screws were white gold plated, it may improve the overall appearance.

I wouldn't go too far in improving this watch, just a few low cost improvements, to keep the price down.

Any word from Sead? I followed up with him and he said "soon". Just thought I'd ask you since you ordered earlier than I did.

Any update from your side mate?
Ordered 40 days ago, emailed him 3 days ago asking for some updates and no replys at all.
I know patience is a virtue in our hobby but i feel like someone on a waiting list for a daytona, lmao.

Interesting... so best option is the dc quartz version?

I messaged him on September 8th saying that I’ll settle for stainless steel bracelet if the rubber strap is too hard to find. He said he’d get me the SS and that there was a delay from the factory. That’s all I’ve got from him...

I know there's a lot of love for Sead on this forum, but he seems to be pretty busy and often doesn't respond for a while (at least from my experience and reading above) . The guy at Dealer Clocks also has these watches including the 15202 on rubber straps and is impeccable in terms of daily dialogue on WhatsApp and answering questions / sending photos, delivery speed etc.

He just sourced me an extra short replacement oysterflex for my Daytona in about 3 days which I couldn't find anywhere else.

Just saying...

Lucky you.
I hope he will find the rubber version or i've lost 1 month, i had a non td who had them in stock for a cheaper price :S

I would wait. I read on another watch forum that ZF is working on a 15202 of their own.

Ok, I got a cheap (£30) AP rubber strap to try on the latest batch of Sead's 15202s. I need to adjust a little as not flush but below are a couple of pics. Not sure if any strap Sead sources from DC would be better but the blue is a nice colour match.

 

[gilrob]

Judging by your picture and Sead's, they look the same as far fitment. Can you share your source or provide us a link from were you got your strap from? Thanks.

Hmm, care to link us to that information?

Sorry no link. I did read about it at hkrwf.com which is a Chinese watch forum. Its best to use Google Chrome while browsing the website so it can be translated. The article is in the site's Coming Soon section in a thread, "Audemars Piguet Will Soon Have A Bloody Hurricane". kobe24 posted on 2019-9-5 11:48 that ZF purchased a gen AP 15202 for replication purposes but he does not know of the release date.

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

I hope it will come, see the other ZF thread about Richard Mille which never come to live. Its so sad.

 

[T&E]

Guys in your opinion which is better dial color of 15202 quartz?

So much potential from ZF but they have yet to release anything AP related thus far. I think I've only seen a teaser of the black 15500 dial.

Alright!
