Just announced AP 15550 37mm

[rockdaytona]

Successor to the 15450. Nice colors. Fire up the machines ZF.

It'll be a tough choice between this and the new AP 16202. I wonder how soon will it take for APS and ZF to replicate these new AP models.

For 16202 let's say 2 months (just the time to replicate the rotor + decoplate) lol

Ooohh, 37 mm dark blue dial, come to papa

 

[Apniceguy]

Ice blue is fire

 

[dashindark]

this looks not as good as 15500 or 16202. 16202 is the best looking among the 3.
hopefully they can speed up the development of 4302 so that a lot models can benefit from it. As for the 16202, its movement most probably will not be cloned and at the same time using a 9015 to mimic its appearance will be insufficient as the constructions between gen and rep movements are very different.
let’s wait and see.

Looks are subjective. Some of my collector friends do like the 15550.

Thanks for the update on the 4302. I hope to see the movement cloned properly too, with the instant date change.
Just wondering, if the 16202 is cloned, how will it differ from the 15202 rep from the front lol. For me it looks exactly the same as the 15202. :legend:

I like the looks of the 15550 a lot. Sky blue and grey particularly bro!

I also like the grey dial, the new gen 16202 is also available with a grey dial but only with a red gold case, a no go for me.

 

[TESLA760]

Way too small

Agreed, looks the same, looks like hands pinion is bigger than 15202 (a good news for XF and ZF lol)

Hello A good to have you back brother and hope you’ve been well sir

 

[Klizzix]

Looks are very subjective as it seems, i like the 15550 the most of the new models, the 37mm version needed the smaller case size and the other changes will have their benefits as well.

If i'd have a wish left i'd love to see the steel version with the green dial, that would be an amazing watch.

Lets all hope there will be a proper rep as the 15450 didnt get too much love from the factories

I agree. I like the JF case and bracelet but the dial must have been a mistake as they changed from having a pretty genlike nice dark blue dial a few years back and replaced it with a bright blue dial that kind of looks more like the 15400 in color.

 

[nemoauditur]

It looks nice, I like the dark blue

 

[gilrob]

We probably won't know till after CNY 2022 which rep factories will be making a variant of the AP 15550. Looking forward for the announcements.

 

[Angryboai]

The light blue dial is trending now but I'm rooting for the bleu noir one. I'm glad they finally update the 37mm one.
ZF please notice it senpai.

 

[Raffaelloczz]

This is my 15450 v2 by defunct JF. I know the dial is not gen-like and the case is 1mm thicker, but it gives me a lot of feeling

 

[MRRTime]

Way too small

Not for my unmanly wrists. All the other APs seem much too large for me.

i have been wondering if a second hand could be added to a 15202 (or 16202). Now I get to wonder when these will be made and if I should go with dark- or ice-blue 15550.

Probably not. The reason for omitting the second hand was to achieve a thin profile.
