Hi, MRS, welcome here, first of all.
I actually do see what you're doing here, on the AP forum, as it seems that you're a man of impeccable taste, from the list of watches you mentionned.
I would say: First go on the vintage, A, B or C, then on the Jubilé, then on the more modern iterations.
The only problem with the Vintage ROs is that you will have to be very exigent on the condition of the watch as AP is asking an important price for a restoration, and most important, I'm not sure they still have all the pieces which will need a replacement.
So, after all, the Jubilé may well be the best choice.
best,
Nicolas.
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
and still will buy 15202. However, I'll wait till next Baselworld as AP might introduce an interesting new Anniversary. However, I think 15202 is close enough the original and a really great watch. Best, Kari
Vintage and Current Jumbos Virtually Identical
Except for dial colors/layout, bracelet clasp and rotor aesthetics. Either is reliable, if cared for properly. I bought the 15202 because of the white dial, as I have a 3700 with slate/blue. But I owned a vintage model in charcoal years ago. I think the c...
Another very notable difference, though: The Vintage case.
Which is much thinner than the modern iterations, and which gives this very special look to the Vintage jumbo ( sorry for the redundance ). Without forgetting the AP Logo at 6 and the very desirable thinner tapestry. Best, Nicolas. This message has been e...

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...
