AP Questions
Trying to understand why the 15202ST.OO.0944ST.02 (first pic, no second hand) is about 6k more than the 15300ST.OO.1220ST.02 (has second hand)?
Does it have a calibre?
Thanks in advance. Trying to learn and this forum has been extremely helpful.

15202 also called the Jumbo and has the same size specs as the original Royal Oak from the 70's alas much thinner than the 15300 RO, both in the case and bracelet. Also has an older Patek / Vacheron / AP movement which is considered nicer by the collectors. 15300 has a new AP in-house movement. A white jumbo might be my next watch.

When I tried on an Offshore I found it to be so tall, found out that its height is 14.3mm Havent tried on a royal oak but found that the 300 is 9.3mm and the 202 is 8mm. So either of the 2 would sit much lower.

Here is an excellent buyers guide for just this watch written by Ben Clymer for TZ.

safari, the hornback comes stif and doesnt wrap itself around my wrist properly, that why i swaped it with a rubber strap which doesnt look as good, and i agre the ofshore sits too high and gets banged up alot
the ro is a more practical option imo id get a balck faced chrono, its unbelivable on the wrist
