The condition of yours is superb but i prefer the new 15202

Congratulations. It has visibly endured very little polishing. [I never understand WHY they polish their watches, BTW... Scratches look very cool on a vintage watch!]
Yet..., i have never liked the white date window on the original Jumbo. The color of the date window is the main reason (apart from the dramatic improvement on the bracelet and the transparent caseback) why i prefer the new 15202 to the original 5402.
IMVHO, the 40th Anniversary 15202 is three steps ahead on the road to perfection: date window, bracelet, caseback. The 15202 is now very close to absolute perfection.
In reality, I guess that if you truly love the Jumbo, you need both: a 5402 in good condition and a 2012 15202.
Enjoy it!
