AP Royal Oak 15300ST

[sportee]

Hi all bros and sistas here. I am contemplating of getting the AP RO 15300 in Black. Was offerred a discount of 25% at one of the AD here in Singapore.
However, i am still in double mind as to whether to buy the watch and i need opinions from felow watch enthusiasts here...

Its one of my dream watches. Just thag cant afford haha. I think the white or blue looks nicer

I like the dark blue and black.. One of my must have watch for AP

15300 is a very classic, timeless design. Mr Harry Tan wrote a review (http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/aharry/t...300/index.htm).
The Jumbo 15202 is a more expensive alternative but it has the original, JLC movement from 1970s.
I bought my 15300 white dial a few months ago.Since then, I wear this AP beauty on every working day.
Go for it.

Black for me too, but you should go for the original Jumbo 15202 with the infamous cal 2121, if money isn't too much of an issue.

And I also feel the AD can do better on the discount.

I bought my 15300 white dial a few months ago. It is my most favourite watch. Go for it.

Discount given depends on many factors but you may want to ask around to see who gives a better deal, unless you want to maintain relationship with that AD.

just take note of 1 point,after u set your time with the 15300 the minute hand jumps as u push back the crown it is a problem with the movement just my 5 cents worth

wah!! how come will jump de?

I realised for my gmtiic also same issue. hence, before pushing in crown, have to turn the crown to a position with a bit of freeplay back and forth then push it. solves the issue. is it the same with the AP?

jump meaning it will not be the "minute' that u have set? Example, if i set 10am, once i push in the crown, the minute hand will not be on the 12 o'clock mark?
