Royal Oak strange pricing and availability
Hey guys,Not that I'm buying any of the these two at the moment, but wanted to gain some knowledge regarding the two, as it came as a surprise to me.So the 39mm SS Royal oak jumbo ref:15202ST.OO.1240ST.01, sells for a retail of $22,700. It has no discount and is very had to get. It's just time and date without a seconds hand. (Some say it has a wait list)On the other hand 41 mm SS Royal oak ref:15400ST.OO.1220ST.03, is what I beleive a newer version of the above, is easily available, has a seconds hand and retails at $17,800. Plus you can get a discount on that aswell What's up with that? Can anyone explain

Radiomir 183 or new reference ?
HiI am interested in buying a Radiomir. I usually prefer to buy mint used as there are some great bargains to be had but I could be persuaded to buy new if there was a distinct advantage. My question is should I buy a good condition Radiomir Black Seal 183 or one of the new references such as a 610 or 380?I prefer the more vintage vibe of the 183 and particularly the sandwich dial which is quite important for me. Yes the newer references have Panerai's in house movement but I really can't see anything wrong with the venerable ETA movements used in the 183 and other older references. Any advice greatly received. Thanks.

PAM 24 or 49
First Panerai. I have small wrists 6.3. Pam 24 44mm or Pam 49 40mm. I know its a PAM and its supposed to rock out big style, but I'm ok with the 40mm and chose the 24 because it looks like it wears small. All input and advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Double Incoming And A Bit Different!
I've wanted a different Rolex for some time now, call me quirky (which is probably the nicest thing I'll be called here for my choices). As I decided on this different watch, though, I could not help but lambaste myself for not buying a proper tool watch. I'm apparently a tool watch addict.The closer that I got to pulling my cash out at my AD for the more unconventional Rolex, the more I thought that I was a fool for sacrificing the type of functionality that would allow me to, say, leave my watch on the bathroom counter while I shower (not in Florida of course) or send it to the darkest recesses of my safe for up to a week at a time...I needed toughness and versatility obviously, and I could not buy something less standard without counterbalancing it with this elusive (and strictly conceptual) functionality. I told my AD that I needed a few moments to go and decide.Knowing that buying something different while thinking of something else would make me end up buying the something else e
