Off to deal with the final Christmas shopping...

If you're doing likewise, I wish you a pain-free day.

It's not a crazy expensive watch like some of you have but I like it. My new tissot.

And yet the IWC is somehow still smaller in that picture than it is in real life!

I have decided to flip my Daytona for an AP RO, the only question is which one? 15202 or 15300? I've found a straight up trade for a blue 15300 & would obviously have to add cash for a 15202 trade.

My other main watches are a Rolex GMT BLNR, a Reverso duo bleu, & a Speedy Pro...

Your thoughts?

If you have the means to get the 15202 then it is the ONLY choice. It is the RO.

Those together with the Daytona or RO might be described as a classic set. I agree if you have the spare cash get the 15202.

I love the RO and I think its a great addition to any collection. The 15300 vs 15202 is a scenario that has been discussed many times on this forum you may want to do a search as there is lots of good info already posted. I just don't want to bore you with stuff I've already said about the various models. Both a great watches. You should try them on because even though they are both 39 mm in diameter they wear and feel different on the wrist because of the differences in thickness of both the case and the bracelet. In addition the clasp/closure is different. I find the clasp of the 2012 and later ROs more comfortable than those of earlier pieces.

You really can't go wrong with either, its just a matter of which is best for you.

I'm fairly certain I've asked this question here in the past as well!

Unfortunately it's very difficult to find a 15300 to try on...I was able to try on a 15202 at the NYC boutique & found it amazing!

I guess part of me wonders if the 15300 having been discontinued plays a role in this decision?

I dunno...I find the 15202 immensely better looking. I, personally, wouldn't buy a less attractive watch because it was discontinued.

But that is just me. I won't buy a 15300 or 15400 because it is cheaper, either. It's THE RO or no RO for me. Not everyone thinks like that.
