Another very notable difference, though: The Vintage case.

JUMBO
Dear AP Purists, First I would like to introduce myself a little bit, before asking for any help..... I love watches a lot and especially Vintage Rolex (proud owner of 6542,5513,1655, 1680....) and Modern / Vintage Patek (proud owner of a 5712.....) So th...
I bought 15300

Thanks everybody
dear all thanks a lot for your comments the dial I like the most is the vintage layout so the Jubile might be the best choice (... I am not a big fan of limited series but sometimes ....) now the best part starts ... "the hunt" I promise that I will keep ...
Welcome and best of luck finding a special Jumbo.
IMO the Jumbo is the perfect AP. Let us know what you find on your journey to purchase your special AP. JerryW
wthat you have to do is:
go for a vintage one compare the dial from these ones (ref 5402) with the 15202 and you will see a difference - that makes the ref 5402 the real deal (AP-Logo at 6 /ore AP-Logo at 12 both more atractive than 15202) and one important thing - I don´t k...
