15300OR.OO.D088CR.02 do it all watch?
Hello I wanted to get opinions on the 15300OR in rose gold on a strap (white dial) as a watch that I could both dress up and down. Before I tried this watch on yesterday I was looking into a Patek 5296 in white gold as a dress watch. But when I tried this watch on I basically fell in love with it. I had always been hesitant in purchasing a gold watch because of my age (17) I didn’t think that I was old enough to pull off a gold watch. I need a watch that I can use as a dress watch but when I tried this watch on it also felt a slight bit causal. So my question, do you guys think this watch works for both a dress watch and a casual watch or do you think it only does one category well.

NEED SOME ADVISE. SAFARI or RO Chrono 39mm
I have a decision to make, and have been torn between 4 - AP's ROO a AP RO 39mm Chrono and a VC Overseas. I narrowed down from Volcano (I really like but would be a part timer on the wrist), Bumblebee (too much yellow for me). Safari (I can do a daily wear- Nice but doesnt blow me away- but growing on me)- Black 'Themes' - Really nice but have so many black face watches- I really like the 39mm (26300) Chrono blue face. I like the way the dial is laid out, Smaller than the others, SS bracelet is nice, overall sharp watch and will complement my 4100 YG 36mm smartly,, I considered the Vacheron only cause its a Vacheron and I dont have one in my collection, yet.. It wears well, but I am kinda sure I would get bored with it. There is my dilemma, Its gonna be a heirloom piece as It will represent my 50th year on the planet. So I want something nice to pass on.I am open to your thoughts.. PS- Saw the ad for HYT H2- seems interesting anyone know anything about them?

Market Pricing?
Is there a thread which gives an overview of market pricing, like what discounts to expect from retailers? Or particular values in the used market?I was looking at some recent offerings on Calatravas. (Yes I'm already planning the next, a week after nabbing the 5296). I noticed the 6000G, while not my favorite, was substantially reduced from retail. At the other end, a 3-yr old 5196 is offered at a price that seems higher than what one might expect to buy new.I suppose such an overview of pricing is too monumental for a thread topic, but I thought I'd ask. Probably better off asking on individual pieces...Well, if anyone has input feel free to chime in. Otherwise I'll sit and listen to the crickets....
