Vintage AP Jumbo...what about Gold?
I love the AP jumbo. And since I've now added a modern Nautilus to my collection (5712/1A), I feel that the 15202 might just be a bit too similar in look and styling. I know that many of you own both and I agree that it's a different look, but it's still a steel, blue dialled, Genta watch from the modern era. So I'm thinking of going towards the vintage side of things. Either a 5402, or now my consideration�� Gold! See the below pic of an available gold 5402 from the second series of gold jumbos. The gold 5402's don't seem to be as much of a price delta as current model steel to gold. I know that the original steel jumbo is THE vintage AP to own. But what about gold? Love the design, love the styling, love the look, I even love the grey dial in this configuration. And for me, a gold watch adds something I won't have in my collection after I sell my IWC Portuguese. What do you diehard Jumbo fans think?
