The 15202 is an amazing watch. Perfect proportions, a work-of-art bracelet and the old calibre beating at its heart. It wears like a dream and looks amazing on the wrist. I bought mine in 2016, and there’s never been a time I put it on my wrist that I don’t marvel at how beautiful it is.
I feel the same way with my 15500. The Jumbo is the original, and is perfect ...if you don't have an 8-inch/20cm wrist like mine. On my big wrist, my blue dial 15500 is simply perfection, it never fails to lift me up when I wear it.
@@jackominty3633I got the 15510st grey dial. Updated bracelet and clean with just the Audemars Piguet logo . I love it so much, never fails to make me happy
Brilliant! I love your videos Hafiz! Thanks for making them and sharing. I just received my 15500 black dial 2 weeks ago and in love. But still aiming for the 15202 as I am still building my relationship with the boutique! I love both watches as to me I consider them to be two separate watches... and for sure I would like to have both! 😬😬😬
At the beginning, I thought Jumbo is perfect size for me, since 37mm is too small and 41mm is too large for my 16.5cm wrist. After seeing your video, I understand why Jumbo doesn't fit my wrist when I tried it on.
Another fantastic video--some of the most beautiful watch photography out there, and definitely the most thoughtful commentary. You should have tons more subscribers and views. Thanks for your excellent work.
The 15202 focuses more on the bracelet and the 15500 focuses more on the dial. I thought the 15500 being a bigger dial would look best but the reason you buy an AP, if it's for status, is to showcase the well known, distinctive bracelet. Also, that shot at the end with the arm and bicept, it really showed a difference. The 15202 focused more towards your wrist while the 15500 was more towards bicept, unless its the dial colors that made it different, idk. but cool eye trickery in my opinion 😂
Excellent video Hafiz! Lovely transitions in between frames. I love the 39mm for its traditional proportions and also because to me, the Royal Oak is supposed to be ultra thin. Awaiting your next video!
Gerald Genta’s at his best was the Royal Oak, the PP, IWC etc were mere after thoughts by just looking at the aesthetics and proportions of the Royal Oak, it is hard to replicate its beauty.
The jumbo is the most beautiful of all AP RO's imo. Beautiful AP logo at 6, no second hand, small tapisserie, and ultrathin 👌 the only problem is the movement and no screw down crown
as always another great review by Hafiz! Gotta love 39mm Jumbo! If you can get hold of jumbo go for it and looks reasonable price compare to Patek 5711.
Really informative, great video! A mix of both versions was perfect, both have their positive and negative aspects: The crown of the 41 mm is much better in its design i.e. the dimensions, having a bigger diameter whilst being less high. Integrated bracelets wear bigger, I'd go for a 36 mm version.
Spectacular video. Wish it were an hour long. Only thing I would have preferred was if the presenter had not continuously flipped the watches from side to side and maintained the same watch of the left and the same watch on the right. Very distracting having to quickly figure out each shot which watch was were. But great informative video.❤ I am a new subscriber.
Great review. I’ve never noticed the difference between the 2 until now. I’m curious if you have an opinion on the second hand. With or without? I personally feel the second hand makes the watch look more ‘ordinary’. The jumbo without the second hand just looks more classic to me... thoughts?
Thank for comparing Harif. Bracelet is the best in the market and noticeable the reflection over 10m away. Would you mind to compare 15500 black and blue if available? I always support you and like your professional video quality and analysis. Thank you bro

Thanks for convincing me to stay on the path for the OG 39 mm rather than going for the 41mm Hafiz!! god bless.
Jumbo just needs a second hand to make it feel alive. I get sticking to history but a revised version with a second hand, fix to date adjust and modern movement is what I really want from AP.
I myself didn’t purchase either of them from the boutiques either. Or I should say, I couldn’t purchase either of the, from boutique either. It’s sad, but unfortunately the truth of today’s world.
@@HafizJMehmood exactly...I think maybe do more videos on watches normal people can get ? Just a thought it’s nice to know these watches but honesty no one can get them.
I wish my arm could accommodate the Jumbo. I am sure my bank financial advisor is happy that it probably can’t. If just AP could tweak the design of the Jumbos bracelet so it could conform to narrower arms. Maybe they have done so on the newer 16202 version? Who knows? Greetings from Denmark.
same here.... we can consider the Maurice Lacroix Aikon homage , It is very inspired by this watch....but it's so so similar I wouldn't feel ok to wear it
I think it's darkly humorous that so many in the watch cognoscenti look down their noses at any Royal Oak that isn't a Jumbo, knowing full well that all that's happening here is an attempt to manipulate the sales price of anyone looking to acquire one on the grey market.
@@HafizJMehmood I'll give you some tips. My parents are from India so I know the intracacies of the Indian and Pakistani accents. You are pronouncing V and W as the same, so you are saying Vatch instead of Watch. W is a softer sound than V. You pronounce modern as modren and pattern as pattren, note that the e comes before the r, think ern not ren. Patt-ern, not patt-ren. You are pronouncing octagonal as octahgonal, it should be oc-tag-onal, the tag is pronounced as when you tag some one. Hope that is useful.
Seeing the 15202 next to the 15500 really makes you appreciate the flawless proportions of the original.
I absolutely agree with you on the last point, a Royal Oak was meant to be in 39 mm. Fantastic review as always my friend!
Week done...I love the 39mm.

39 has perfect proportions.
It’s also small on a real man’s wrist
Agree, 41 is good if you're a fat man
I am sort of in agreement. It's bigger than the slim but it's more subtle than some huge tank
Any chance of comparing the 37 mm RO to the Jumbo in the same way Hafiz?
You know...Your videos are perfect guidance If you want to buy something.
Basically you covered everything !
Thank you for your effort !
Best Video for AP royal oak!!!👍🏼👍🏼

@HafizJMehmood
Is it just me or is a fibre sticking out from under the hour marker at 3:00?
At the beginning, I thought Jumbo is perfect size for me, since 37mm is too small and 41mm is too large for my 16.5cm wrist. After seeing your video, I understand why Jumbo doesn't fit my wrist when I tried it on.
So which size fit better?
I have a very soft spot for 15202, although it is not the most practical piece without that second hand. Got my 37mm blue last year and loving it!
Damn, 15500 with the blue dial is still my grail.
The 39mm is so thin. Its amazing it fits so much mechanical beauty inside.
fantastic awesome video , thanks for putting it toguether Hafiz, it helped me a lot decidimg which size to pursue . perfect on the details
Another fantastic video--some of the most beautiful watch photography out there, and definitely the most thoughtful commentary. You should have tons more subscribers and views. Thanks for your excellent work.
please keep doing these size comparing videos, they are really helpful!
All your videos are so informative and comprehensive yet very stylish. Great content, keep it up!
Great review ! The lug to lug width results were unexpected! 👌🏻
Another awesome review, Hafiz, thank you. Not crazy about 50m WR, but I'll take the 41mm please!
Very informative comparison. Thank you for sharing.
15202 ST is a timeless beauty. Epic Gerald Genta design which can't be repeated 💙
Absolutely fantastic videos you put out almost every week. Thank you for sharing and creating such amazing contents and close-up shots! Im a big fan!
39mm - 👍💯
Purely amazing stuff! Love your channel
Can’t get enough of your videos!
The 15202 focuses more on the bracelet and the 15500 focuses more on the dial.

Outstanding production again, superb review. Thanks for sharing.
Also the crown on jumbo sticks way more out making it look different. Awesome video Hafiz.
BLOODY BEAUTIFUL VIDEO MATE, WELL DONE!!!
The wrist shots at 12:26 really showcase the Jumbo
Excellent video Hafiz! Lovely transitions in between frames. I love the 39mm for its traditional proportions and also because to me, the Royal Oak is supposed to be ultra thin. Awaiting your next video!
Thanks so much :)
39mm RO is truly a masterpiece. 41mm is just nice.
Also the date typeface looks more elegant on jumbo and more modern/funky on 15500. Another win for jumbo.
Great video, much respect to 15202, but I’m such a fan of the 15500.. Praying my SS calls me with hood news soon!
Keep it up bro your content is so much greater than anything else! I have no doubts you’ll be super successful in the near future!
Yeah but trying to get hold of a Jumbo is like mission impossible! Getting hold of the standard Royal Oak is also hard with a long-ish wait!
Gerald Genta’s at his best was the Royal Oak, the PP, IWC etc were mere after thoughts by just looking at the aesthetics and proportions of the Royal Oak, it is hard to replicate its beauty.
The jumbo is the most beautiful of all AP RO's imo. Beautiful AP logo at 6, no second hand, small tapisserie, and ultrathin 👌 the only problem is the movement and no screw down crown
Cool vid as always brother, AP is a cut above. Saw your clip on Roman's show, nice!
as always another great review by Hafiz! Gotta love 39mm Jumbo! If you can get hold of jumbo go for it and looks reasonable price compare to Patek 5711.
What an insane video. This just made my day.
Excellent video, thanks 👍🇬🇧
Great take and comparison!
I really liked the design of the Royal Oak. But now that I see it on your wrist, the AP looks odd to me. Thanks for the review.
39mm all the way! Purist !! Nice video mate 🥃
The perfect watch
Thorough as always. While I like the size of the 39mm, for me the 41 is definitely the more impressive watch mechanically speaking
Wow what an awesome review - a true experience watching it
Ultimate guide video ❤
I think the 15500 looked better. Great video.
Really informative, great video!
A mix of both versions was perfect, both have their positive and negative aspects:
The crown of the 41 mm is much better in its design i.e. the dimensions, having a bigger diameter whilst being less high.
Integrated bracelets wear bigger, I'd go for a 36 mm version.
The tolerances and the movement on the new one are better, so I would go for it.
Spectacular video. Wish it were an hour long. Only thing I would have preferred was if the presenter had not continuously flipped the watches from side to side and maintained the same watch of the left and the same watch on the right. Very distracting having to quickly figure out each shot which watch was were. But great informative video.❤ I am a new subscriber.
Please do AP chronograph comparison 38 mm vs. 41 mm.. Thanks for this excellent review.
Not sure if anyone found that new model 15400 and 15500 blue color is totally different and not comparable to the blue from 15202…
Terrific content as always
How can this only have 6k views?! Hafiz, you should try to collaborate with other watch channels.. you deserve MUCH MUCH better :)
Great review. I’ve never noticed the difference between the 2 until now. I’m curious if you have an opinion on the second hand. With or without? I personally feel the second hand makes the watch look more ‘ordinary’. The jumbo without the second hand just looks more classic to me... thoughts?
Another knockout video Hafiz 👏👏👏
Great video! How does the 15202 compare in size to the 15300?
Same size. 15202 is much thinner and of course dial is very different.
15300 has same bracelet as 15500.
Amazing comparison
I need a 39mm now! Beautiful video
Can you please review the Cartier Santos (medium size specifically)? I would love to see your macro shots of that watch.
Nice detailed info, enjoyed the film, merci!
Suggestion only...Lower the volume on the music, we want you to be the star, not the sound, yes?
I agree 15202 is better proportioned, but sadly it won't fit my wrist. My several friends choose 15450 for better fit and love it.
Brilliant attention to detail.
Thank for comparing Harif.
Bracelet is the best in the market and noticeable the reflection over 10m away. Would you mind to compare 15500 black and blue if available?

Great stuff 👏
Hi, I will be buying OP not sure about size, does wrist size dictates that? is there a formula that i should use to work out the size?
Hi, just wanna ask what is the size of yr wrist? And also which one would be much better for a 165-7mm wrist? Thanks
How the wrist on the video?
Hi. 6.5”.
@@HafizJMehmood like my wrist... I think on 6.5 look very good and not to big
@@HafizJMehmood but sure your wrist is 6.5? Looks more big

Always liked this watch. Sadly its financially out of reach...
same here.... we can consider the Maurice Lacroix Aikon homage , It is very inspired by this watch....but it's so so similar I wouldn't feel ok to wear it
Work hard every day and you’ll be able to enjoy this grail one day!
Just get a good replica, it'll give you 80-90% of the pleasure for 2% of the cost.
@@ronniep9272 replicas are gxy just buy a Seiko
This is such a impressively detailed review
The jumbo dial is so much more balanced.. that logo on the dial is perfect. Also, 41 is too big. 40 would be perfect to replace both
They both have such different characters. Really different watches for two very different types of people. Amazing.
Love to see the Rolex Datejust 36 vs 41mm
Not really a fan of the brand but... I can’t keep my eyes off the blue dialed one!
What a great review/comparison! Excellent sizing information and very comprehensive.
I love the 15202 but no seconds hand. If I pay that much I’d love to watch the movement...man.
Love the Jumbo but way harder to get and significantly more expensive grey
Jumbo-the one and only!Holly grail!
I think it's darkly humorous that so many in the watch cognoscenti look down their noses at any Royal Oak that isn't a Jumbo, knowing full well that all that's happening here is an attempt to manipulate the sales price of anyone looking to acquire one on the grey market.
Price
this is what confuses my with Australia short sleeve shirt in Normal winter :D
41mm for me. Have been on AD's waiting list for 3 years....😅. Maybe forever, can't afford the market price
Are you on Instagram as well?
The thinner one stays the best
brilliant!
Only issue is that the 15202 is a lot more expensive than the already expensive 15500....
If you have an 8 inch wrist like me, then the flawless one is the 15500.
Another great review! Please learn how to use the word “the” in your reviews. I like the Indian pronunciation very much!
I think I know how to use the word “the”. If you can be more specific where I said it wrong, it will definitely help. Thanks.

I like the 15500. The 15202 just looks too tiny for today’s styling
37mm is very confortable to wear. 39mm is beautiful and équilibrate 41 is too big. (I am 18cm arm)
AP Jumbo , the only perfect watch
Why is Jumbo more expensive?
More limited
