I'm glad you liked it The Royal Oak will be a whole different story ;) It's got such tremendous charm and beauty that you would forget any other factors. Okay, it was just me, it may not happen to you

What to spend my bonus on?

So to all that provide opinions and guidance thank you. I made somewhat of a choice and after my second trip to another AD and trying on a few AP's I made my choice, we'll sort of. The 14202 fit best but not by much. I think a 15300 would be just as pleasurable without the hit to the pocket. The thinness of the 15202 is not much of an attraction to me plus I think I would miss the second hand.

The 15300 is definitely a great time piece, half-way between the thinner (and a lot more expensive) 15202 and the bigger 15400. My only problem is that it (15300) is discontinued for over 3 years now, and so it's virtually impossible to get one NOS. And finding a 2nd hand one that's not polished yet and in great condition could be a real challenge. So I'm saving up a bit more towards a BNIB 15202ST.
