15300 or 15202?
I love both, have a hard time when there is no second hand, but the 15202 just looks and feels amazing, the blue dial surpasses the 15300 blue IMO, the rotor is very nice too.What are the differences between the 2 movements?Am I wrong or is the 15300 using a modified JLC and the 15202 a in-house movement?Saw just the Jumbo in real, not the 15300, for those who know both can you tell me the differences between them? I understand they are tiny but am sure there are some.The 15300 is quite hard to get but I found one for 9.900 euros in excellent condition, serviced not long ago, whereas the Jumbo I can find for around 15.000 euros, retail is 17K.Is it worth putting 5K in euros not dollars, more to get the Jumbo?I feel that at 9.900 in the unlikely case I would want to flip it I would probably sell for the same price, don't know about the Jumbo, I guess in excellent condition it would be 13.500.Tomorrow my PP is arriving, thought of getting my Hulk and later the AP, but think will do the c

AP's annual production
I know the figure of 20,000 watches a year has been bandied about for AP. A far cry lower than the ~ 800/900K produced by Rolex.On the now discontinued 15300 and current 15400...anyone have a SWAG at how many of these are produced per year by AP?Apologies if this has been asked before.

116300 blue Roman dial
When I first started looking at Rolex , this is the DJ II that first caught my eye , as I reached the amount needed to buy it , I lost focus and started drooling over higher end pieces.I came across another one the other day and reminded me how nice that azzuro dial is, so I'm on the hunt again for one ! At a bargain of course ;)Can some of you owners of this beauty post a pic or two , fluted or smooth

What's this? (16622)
Recently becomming a happy owner of my first Rolex, I find myself spending way too much time looking at it, as well as others like it online.I have noticed a quite obvious difference, I haven't been able to read anything about. The 'swiss made' at six o'clock is written differently on some watches. I am not able to pin it to certain years nor have I been able to see a pattern with i.e. ingravings in the rehaut.My watch a '08 M-series has a noticable bigger distance between 'swiss' and 'made' compared to several other YM's I've come across, both older and younger models...What's up with that?
