Where I need to be.
Confirm this watch is amazing compared to other models.
I have 17,5cm wrist (quite average)
I have a 15400 (10mm vs 9.8 genuine) and a 15202 (8,4mm vs 8,1 genuine) and the 15202 is waaaay better.
Not even close.

This is subjective and I will not rate the 15202 as a better watch over the 15400 myself (yes I get we are talking reps).
You’re entitled to your preference of course but in terms of build quality and flaws/tells the two are in the same bracket and one does not have a significant advantage over the other. If you’re talking about how one fits you better over the other this is entirely valid and only something you can decide and share.
Thank you for the pics both look nice on your wrist!

Hi guys, my 15202 XF is literally eating shirt cuffs!

Can this Bergeon tool resolve?

Many thanks

I bought this but didn't find it good for the work.
It can easily brush up the polished sides of the bracelet becoz of its spongy nature.
After all, it is overpriced just because it is Bergeon branded. You can get the similar product at a fraction of the cost from the cosmetic shop for polishing the nails.

But I would only use it on the bottom of the bracelet, where I saw that the edge is not as polished as on the top.

Am I wrong?

I guess it is ok for the AP bracelet since the sides are also brushed.
I tried it on the Sub which has mirror polished sides and that's where the problem lies.

update: after try with bergeon tool, i’ve used this, very carefully and now the edges of the bracelet are softer and less angular. I used it very carefully only on the lower edges.

I don’t think there will be a version 3 soon. It seems to me as if the v2 slightly differ from batch to batch. You can get a real good v2 and if that’s not enough try modding it. I am happy with my v2 but wouldn’t mind getting a better salmon dial

I´d like to change the crystal on my 15202, can anyone help me out:
* How can the bezel be removed? By removing the srews on the caseback?
* Is it necessary to remove the movement?
* Will I need a crystal press?
I was looking around the forum and YT also, but couldn´t find any information on how to swap the crystal on a 15202...
Maybe someown can point me in the right direction!

Was the Bosch abrasive sponge good enough to smooth out the edges on its own? Or did you need something else in addition to the sponge?

I’ve used only then abrasive sponge and it was good enough!

Sometimes, I just use my abrasive personality and the job got done. Nobody bothered me afterward to say the finish wasn't good.. :legend:

Lol!
