Speaking about 15202 vs. 5711 "battle",
which one you would take? Not as a Patek moderator but as Oliver.
I had 15202 on my wrist for 20 days or to be more precise; 20 days and nights. I could not expect that I would love the watch so much. I bought 15300 in 2006 and it never gave me similar emotions as 15202. Those two are very different watches even they look nearly the same.
Best, Kari
This was a bloody difficult one!
When I got my 15202 AP Royal Oak, I decided in January that I really need to get a Patek Nautilus 5711 - and a new one. I started to contact the most obvious places like London Salon from where I have bought a couple of watches. They did not even bother t...
I ill buy JLC later -
then I'll ask. Anyhow, it's always a pleasure getting a Virgin. Best, Kari
Nico, I will remember this one...
And yes, the papers were printed before the purchase was stamped. The CoO was stamped on 15th January and everything till now looks like real. Best, Kari
its bloody beautiful
its perfect on your wrist kari. your a true conousier in fine watches. i like your taste. best geross
Congrats!! It's really beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing this! It's really a beauty and I can see the draw of having the two GG's side by side!!!! wonderful!!! I hope you shower us with more pix!! HAGW, S
I started to smile
when you said "it's really beautiful". I agree but which one? By the way; isn't it easy to see that all four are siblings? Best, Kari
Hi Kari, congrats on another beautiful "baby" !! Guess you...
...enjoy being a "father" non-stop !! LOL !! This Nautilus baby is iconic, possesses simple elegance and has a mesmerizing dial. BTW, how do you compare the blue hue of the Nautilus vs the Royal Oak under different lighting?? Overall, I prefer the Nautilu...
Hi Gordon
I played with the watches outside today. My first reaction was that the dial of 15202 is having as many faces as the one of 5711. And surprisingly, the dial of 15202 was somehow more sophisticated. Best, Kari
Finally it arrived ...
and in all its beauty. Perfect. Congrats! Looking forward to the outcome of the 15202 vs 5711 "battle" :-) Cheers, Oliver

Kari! Well done!!!
Congratulations!!! And believe me - 5711 will be one and only watch! RO is great watch as well, but 5711 is awesome ! Believe me, the winner will be 5711
Congrats Dr Kol.....
We can exchange notes in a few months. I have been doing the opposite of you , I have been wearing the 5711 for a few months and expecting my 15202 in a few weeks ! Enjoy your Gentas !
Congrats, Kari!!! Looks great on you!
I simply love how the 5711 exudes grace and class without having to try hard at all. The dial is alive, the hands and markers decisive, and the ship's porthole bezel a living art that forms a metaphor that it is the window to the wearer itself. Best of al...
To be hones,
also the dial of 15202 is quite interesting and it plays a lot. Best, Kari
Congratulations Kari
Clearly two gorgeous watches, and one of them is still my dream watch. Enjoy them Best Dje
Good to hear from you Dje.
Keep dreaming or better, make the dreams come true. Best, Kari
there is only a rational answer...
for me... AP inside PP outside. ...BUT, at the end of the day my choice is and will be always the Nautlius. chris
I had a really tough day
and I thought first: why to wear AP inside and PP outside. Then the remaining part of my brains started to work. However, there is a dream watch for you then: the original Nautilus ref. 3700. It's the current 15202 movement inside and very Nautilus outsid...
my dream watch indeed...
but to find a nice specimen, unpolished case, and a completely correct one...is a dirty job. cheers, chris
You can find even a brand new one.
I was just offered one yesterday @ € 35k. Not funny anymore... Luckily I got mine with a small premium compared with € prices equalling more or less the Swiss prices and around $ 1k below the US prices. The new exchange rates make the world a bit complica...
Time to rid of the AP!
Time to sell the AP mate, for that it cannot hold a candle to the Patek you just purchased. AP service, cost, repair experience is bullocks compared to Patek's service.
That is something I will test later so
it remains to be seen. At least 15202 is a "keeper". I do not yet know if it's the best for me from these four but wearing it for a while told me that it's a monumental watch design. Best, Kari
Congratulations, Kari!
I know that when I have to order something it seems like it takes forever as I anxiously await its arrival. But it seemed like this acquisition came pretty quick, a month or so, or am I wrong? LOL Whatever the time it took, it looks stunning. How do you l...
Hi Bob,
Indeed, it came in some three weeks. And the journey was long so it wasn't too bd in the end. Hmm... What's next? If a Blancpain complete calendar with mono pusher chronograph is counted, that's the next arrival. Is it a serous watch or not, I can't reall...
"... complete calendar with mono pusher chronograph"
I guess it is a perpetual calendar ... what you are getting, isn´t it? Nice on! Oliver
The kind FedEx man will bring something next week.
When there is time, I will remove the protective film from the watch and have a look what I actually bought. Blancpain, especially the more classic models, "speak to me" loud. One of my weak points... Best, Kari
Aloha, Kari.
So many choices. :-) Vacheron, IMHO, is a solid, understated brand that doesn't get much attention. It's a brand that I really like. I look forward to see what your next acquisition will be. Keep warm, my friend. Aloha, Bob
Hi Bob, aloha to you
Next week I will get my Blancpain and today I made a deal of a chronograph I never even considered to buy. I guess next week I will have my brains examined. Probably I got too much heat in Singapore or too cold air in Lapland. Anyhow, something is wrong w...
That is too funny!
LOL You don't need your head examined. You've contracted this disease from the dreaded horology bug that has plagued many parts of the world. Some of the symptoms are blurred vision, quickness of breath and especially, open wallet syndrome. :-) Aloha, Bob...
