The right size
I'm doing a little debating between the 15300 and 15400, like I'm sure many have before me. I do not live in an area that has an AP dealer nearby so I'm flying a bit blind.There are several threads that already cover people's preference so I'm not looking to reboot that, but does anyone have advice for me with my inability to actually try one on?I guess I could always wait until I travel to a city with an AD but I even then I'm not guaranteed to run across either one of those models. Has anyone ever purchased one blindly and then flipped to the other because of size preference?

Patek 570 Questions
Like many, I love this watch. But I'm having a hard time finding information about the different versions of this reference. What's more valuable? The small seconds version or the sweeping seconds version? I also regularly see two versions of the small seconds version. Is one more desired than the other? Please feel free to include information not pertaining to these questions. I'm curious about this watch and would love to learn more. Thanks in advance!!

30m water resistance question
Hello everyone! I wanted to get your insights on something I've been wondering about lately. I own a Patek 5960P (chronograph) with a 30m water resistance rating. Setting aside potential damage to the strap, I am wondering if this watch is capable of being worn in the shower? Everything I've read indicates that a 30m resistance is capable of withstanding rain, splashing, and accidental brief submersion, so I assume that the shower would be fine?In interest of full disclosure, I do wear this watch on a rubberized strap (similar to the Aquanaut) during hot weather months. Often times, I would like to take it into the shower to give it a clean and rinse to erase the sweat and grime that can quickly build up on it. However, I certainly don't want to run the risk of damaging such an expensive piece.Any thoughts?

Return to Panerai?
I had a 312 for awhile and it lost its wrist time after getting into Rolex. I sold it and purchased a DSSD with the funds. I've been casually visiting this sub forum the last few weeks and starting to get that itch again. Over the weekend I was out shopping with my wife and visited a watchmaker/used dealer I've used in the past that was in the area. I tried on a preowned 233 w/ dot dial and a 270. I really really dig the look of the domed crystal. Now I see why so many covet the 233. Anyways the owner said if I was serious we can work something out on the 233. The last month or so I've been obsessing over an AP RO and thought about getting one for my 40th bday. Getting the 233 would derail that a bit, but looking at preowned or even BNIB from trusted sellers, it looks like AP RO can be had when ready (except the blue dialed non-jumbo ones).Well don't want this to be a PAM vs AP thread, as they are apples vs oranges. Looking at watch recon, 233 dot dial aren't as common, but
