XF New AP Royal Oak 15202 Releasing Soon!

[Anadrol5]

I've got the opposite worry... I have 8" wrists and I'm hoping it fits! In both looks and also bracelet size!

As for the screws, well a few posts back a user mentioned on his V2 all the screws came out fine. It might have just been a v1 thing, at the moment it isn't clear. Mine is due to land in a few days and I'll let you know.

I am rather looking forward to it, I must say! Here's to hoping it looks good... I've heard basketball players wear them and I fit that profile... I'm 6ft 6 (2 metres) and large arms... so lets hope so! haha otherwise mine will be on M2M very soon!

You're built like a basketball player and you let go of a 41mm in favour of a 39mm? I would have thought you'd go for the 44mm hwell:

I'm not a fan of the 44s they look silly to me. Like toys, but I appreciate it's completely personal. Yeah something about the 15500s just didn't quite click with me! Who knows. I have round wrists though, not flat, so as a result watches don't look too small. Once I rocked a 38mm dress watch and I thought that was fine...(Nomos Orion Datum).

I'm hoping the 15202 wears similar to that. Time will tell! I will post pictures and you can all laugh and think I'm wearing a child's watch. But if that does happen, I will be sad. This is a bit of a grail for me in real life, so to be able to get it in rep form and be able to test it... Just wowsors.

I'll make sure I tag you in the post

You didn't do anything bad.

They are wrong.

I'll do it for you both.

If you post QC pictures, one that have already been accepted this is fine. Two, if you post QC pictures, you must ask a specific question.
He asked if it was V2, he wasn't sure.

He also asked about a faded AP logo, which is perfectly normal by the way it's just the angle.

You did nothing wrong, ignore both of these people who need to rules themselves.

This. Thanks.
Anyone got any further problems regarding this, take it up with me. Okay?!

I received my QC pictures today, amazing watch! Nevertheless, I have the feeling that the Audemars Piguet & Automatic lettering is incorrectly placed compared to the gen and other XF models. Whats your opinion?

At 1st & 2nd pics, hands lume is white and markers’ lume seems yellowish.

Seems release 1?

You can see from the tapisserie shape and colour as well as the bezel screw position that this is V2. It just means that even on V2 there is still a mismatch of the lume albeit better than before.

 

[Anadrol5]

This is V1

Don‘t worry. This is how the DC looks on my wrist.
It is almost 8 inches and flat and i can tell you the size is magically perfect!

Thank you can't wait!

I concur with Legend, it looks awesome.

no it is not...

Thanks
The 39mm Royal Oaks have a fantastic sweet spot when it comes to size i think. It just looks right on almost any wrist thats not extraordinary big or small.

They didn't solve the lumen problem. can anyone please tell me if this dial is a V2? Thanks so much

To me it seems like it is a V2 dial.

Judging from the colour and the shape of the tapisserie it looks like a V1. The shape of the tapisserie on V2 have sharper edges and are taller than V1.

Looks like a v1 to me too, text is sharp and the tapisserie is uniform, whereas there seems to be an issue with the V2 tapisserie whereby the squares are flatter on the bottom left vs. top right. If you're ok with the sunburst it may actually be a better dial than the v2

Is it possible that the placement of the lettering also varies for the gens? When I look at gen pics, there seem to be deviations in the print alignment on the tapisserie.

According to PT, it should definitely be a V2. But they want to send me some more pics to show the lume.
