Royal Oak 15202 "Jumbo" Showdown - XF , JF , DC !

[Tigerdragon]

Interesting find, this could a new JF 15202 v2 which they desperately need to ward off the competition. Where did you see or read that it has a height of 8.3mm? Thanks.

Atleast they updated the shitty printing.

Fantastic review btw! I really hate the XF color, i don't know why but the greyish blue looks so vintage and i really don't like vintage stuff

In a way the 15202 can still be considered a vintage if you look at the caliber 2121 movement used in the gen, which was developed by JLC. It has no quickset date function and also a relatively low power reserve compared with the modern royal oaks. Compared with the 15202, the modern day royal oaks are in general thicker, chunkier and both the 15400 and 15500 use the 3120 and 4302 calibers respectively, which have more up to date specs than the 15202.
The gen 15202 is a flimsy watch and the stem is known to pop off occasionally during operation. So yes I can understand if you dislike the 15202 or specific features of it. I myself am not a fan of the watch for different reasons.

I just saw JF release a new 15202 with height 8.3mm. https://imgur.com/a/7tC3zP1

Interested in further information...

Looking at the pics it is unlikely that the watch thickness is 8.3mm

Sorry for the terrible pics, I took them in a bit of a rush. Here are the case measurements:

XF: 38.9mm

JF: 38.9mm

DC: 38.7mm

No worries!

It's strange because I would have thought the DC case looked bigger, but it is really the dial proportions that gives it that appearance..

Really was not expecting the DC case to be slightly smaller than XF and JF.

It could be because of the lug to lug dimension or overall case lenght of each, I'm thinking the DC will be the longer of the three. If you can, please provide us with these measurement(s). No need for pictures, just the finding will do. Thanks again for your informative review.

Here is my XF, just got it today.
What do you think ?

Yeah man you are correct:

DC = 50mm

XF = 48.7mm

JF = 49mm

Thank you for taking the time to take the lug to lug measurements and providing them to us. The differences between the three are small, so the XF is back on my shopping list. I thought that the XF may be too small when it was reported it is smaller than the DC model, which I have and it fits fine.

Most TDs give only the diameter and thickness dimensions of the watch. I think the lug to lug/overall length dimension is equally important as it provides the buyer additional information as how the watch will look like on their wrist. I, for one, don't want a watch that is longer than the top of my wrist.

Thanks again.

of course man, no problem!

I agree that the "wingspan" of the watch is really important because thats the part that hugs the wrist. It's unique to the Royal Oak design in the way the bracelet is fitted, it flares out a bit right on the lugs, so even at under 50mm it might wear too big on some smaller wrists.

Its the same reason I definitely can't wear the 15400.. that wingspan adds a lot to the overall size even though the case diameter measures only 41mm.

Excellent thread !! Thanks

Superb review, fantastic work and extremely informative.

For my eyes the XF is absolutely outstanding. No competition, when you consider everything together, dial, thickness, bracelet, hands etc. Also my personal preference as far as the gen goes is the MK3 anyway, love the grey-blue dial colour, super sexy!

Thanks for the outstanding review, I learned a ton from this!

I got the XF and am thrilled with it, it's very hard to capture its beauty in photos, it's a stunner in real life!

I have seen the gen 15202 but it’s never grey blue dial.

I have seen the gen 15202 but it’s never grey blue dial.

Which variation of the dial have you seen? MK1, 2, or 3?

Well it is isn’t it, it’s not bright blue is it, it’s a muted blue, so whatever you want to call it being pedantic, I like the MK3 dial!

Any caseback photo comparison of JF vs XF?
