All day I have been researching AP Royal oak, now I live no where near a boutique and have for 4 yrs concentrated on other brands for my collection BUT today I realise AP is on another level. I love the Royal Oak and it has always been my sons grail. If I am very lucky I feel it is possible to buy a 15500 but for sure the 15202 is my favourite! My son is 16 and the day I can give him his grail that is when he is ready I will give it. A happy day that will be and I hope I live a long life to watch him enjoy it You guys are super cool, sorry Mr Sheik, I do not know your name but I love your enthusiasm for the brand and your knowledge is very deep, thank you for educating me a little more! Best AP Royal Oak video I have seen on RUclips. Thanks guys for your time and hard work, best wishes to you both...
amazing as usual my friend, love it, keep it up. totally agree with you, would definitely go for the 15500 as a first AP. looking forward for more amazing content.
I agree with you, for me the Jumbo is cool but too thin and smaller case size for my wrist. Looks very fragile and not a first watch in the AP family I would chose as my first. Need a bit more durability.
Depends on your wrist size. If your wrist is 15-18 cm, the Jumbo is simply going to fit better and look better on the wrist. If you have a wrist of >18 cm, the 15510 and its predecessors will fit you better. It’s not a rocket science. Isn’t it better that clothing fits you well? Watches are the same, at least for me.
Would have liked for him to speak a little more in-depth about the 15500 new movement as well as the differences in hand finishing compared to the finishing of the 15500. But excellent video nonetheless. Thx 🙏
The both wear so different, as do many of the Royal Oaks over the years. However theres nothing quite like the feeling of a Jumbo on the wrist. that would be the favourable choice of many i would imagine.
I agree 15300 is much better place to start with. The 202 has few issues like absence of quick set date which new entrants to hobby may find little disappointing
I had a choice between the two and chose the 15500. Why? Because I wanted an everyday watch and kept reading people say that the 15202 just wasn't meant for that, something I see repeated here. I have yet to regret that choice.
Love your channel! Was wondering what’s your view on buying a 77351ST as a first AP watch (Investment piece) or should I go for a more simplified model?
I love both watches but if I was to choose it would be the 15202st. It just looks more pleasing on the eye. But I prefer the 15500st over the 15400 as it is bigger size and suits me more. I will probably end up with the 15500st because it is more assessible. It would interesting to see the comparism of the 15202 and 15500 both in the blue dial. Nice review and information.
Thanks Shadi, I see why, between and the 15500 however is not a question of ranks but durability. Whilst the 15202 is historical and the closest to the organization 5402 A series, with an intact movement still, the 15500 is your daily wearer, robust and really AP’s step up to finally give us something outside of the offshore line that is can withstand wear and pressure.
@@WatchSociety cheers reda for your reply. I have the 15500 white dial and a 44mm cermaic offshore and both i love but man i can't get rid of that 15202 itch. It is something else!
Good going with the collection Shadi, I know what you mean, it’s way too early for me to think about a 15202, as the 15500 was a grail for me and just in :) but I know the 15202 lust can not be avoided :)
@@WatchSociety love your content by the way reda and was very happy to see you get the aquanaut at this price point :) excellent timing! Keep up the good work mate 👍
Overall I would go for the 15300. He spoke to it in the video but the size and Automatic text is very attractive. Prices have gone through the roof :( Even for the Black and White dial.
@@WatchSociety bruv, was actually deciding on starting my own channel cos I couldnt find one. ive watched a lot in the past year+ since making the decision to start my collection
Tell me your wrist size, and I will give you the correct answer. 100% of the time. I have an 8 inch wrist (20cm) and I have the 15500. The perfect choice - for me. BTW, you should not be wearing EITHER of these watches every day. They are BOTH super delicate, in that the scratch risk is high.
This guy talks smack. Calling the 15202 hype is ridiculous. It’s a classic and the steel jumbo extra thin blue dial will be discontinued by 2022- it’s the closest to the 54202 and has the true Royal Oak dimensions
Hey Guys, as promised, here’s the 155200 vs 15202.
Let me know what you think,
Cheers,

"You should not buy a 15202 as your first piece"...Says who? I bought a 15202 as my first piece, lol.
I love to watch Watch Eric, but there's a brothah making videos. I'm watching and subbing bro bro
The 15202 is closer to the 5402 but is a watch for more occasional wear. Whilst the 15500 is a more robust version suitable for everyday wear.
The 15500 is sporty, but with a lot of style. The 15202 is more elegant, to be combined with a suit. Both wonderful.
202 YES!!!!!!!!! The 202 can be your first watch and last !!!! The purity is there.
Nice video mate
great video, very interesting comparison. I was really waiting for this video since you announced it and it was worth the wait 👍
amazing as usual my friend, love it, keep it up. totally agree with you, would definitely go for the 15500 as a first AP.
looking forward for more amazing content.
Thank you Ahmed, I thought It’s the safest pick between the two
Awesome video as always 👌🏻 And it was pleasure listening to your friend 👍🏻.
Love & respect from Chicago.
Peace & God bless🙏🏻
Thank you Dr.Shahid :)
Another great video! Thank you for this one, your friend has great know of APs! Fantastic! I look forward to more great content! Cheers, Jock
Thank you Jock :)

💯% with you Aaron
I love the look of the jumbo. I wish it had a second hand though. So much money to not actually see the movement.
Your videos are incredible. You really should have at least 100k subscribers!
Thank you 🙏
Depends on your wrist size. If your wrist is 15-18 cm, the Jumbo is simply going to fit better and look better on the wrist.

Never disappoints. Love the reviews!👍🏼

Hi Tito, I could upload a second part expanding more on the 15500, would you like to see that?
@@WatchSociety definitely 🙏
I got you, will ping the link once it’s up
Me too.... interested in opinions about the new 15500 movement durability for everyday wear... was told the ultrathins not recommended for everyday
The both wear so different, as do many of the Royal Oaks over the years. However theres nothing quite like the feeling of a Jumbo on the wrist. that would be the favourable choice of many i would imagine.
I agree 15300 is much better place to start with.

For me the 15300 is the way to go value for money
Wow very educational, A wealth of knowledge! Very happy I found this channel.
Great video as always
Thank you 🙏 Anas
15202 looks so stylish, refined and perfectly balanced 😍

Thank you brother 🙏
15202 any day and all day for me . It ranks higher for me than the nautilus

Hi. I recall you mention that the AP bracelet may stretch a bit. Have you found this to be true. Love your videos. Thank you
Once it adjusts to your wrist it stays their. Thank you tons brother ❤️
Cool video as always.
Thank you 🙏

The 15202 is nice until you need to change the date....go 15300st, best alternative.
True the date change is a MASSIVE PITA...
My understanding 15300 not in production any longer and cannot be bought as new from AD, I’m I mistaken?
Man, it’s 12 am
😂
15500 all the way!
Asli 💯
I do prefer the look of the 41. I find jumbo more delicate
why waste your money on the 41mm ROs. go straight to the best and most collectible, 15202.
Hope to see the comparison between 15202 and 15300
Cut the music off completely when people talk even during b-roll. Video was unwatchable.
This is my most favorite watch video
Is there any way to know what date the watch was purchased by looking at the warranty card?
Asking for the 15202st
16202 st best forever 😍
What does you wrist measure (inches)?
15202 all day and twice on Sunday’s…
Killed the all outfit with them Yeezy… wtf 🤦🏽♂️

black dude talking bout watches?

No doubt 👍🏽

Neither the 15400 is king!!

It is not even close to me. 15202 by a mile.
Elegant, professional, and educating… subscribed to your channel! 🙂🫱🏼🫲🏽✨
