Trying to size up competition from the Cellini line (35mm & 38mm models) but its pretty hard to beat.

What I'm looking at is ideally white gold or pink gold, relatively thin, and light weight.

I'd really like white gold rather pink as it flies under the radar better.

I want something lighter on leather as I play pool extremely often and I can't play with a metal bracelet on and don't really like to take my watch off. If I had something lighter and on leather I feel like this wouldn't matter as much.

Suggestions closer to the $4.5k range where I can get a pre-loved Cestello?

A few Zeniths are easily there and some JLC in SS. Just trying to see what other gold models I may be missing while browsing.

I should just keep saving to get an AP Jules Audemars Reserve de Marche

Not many gold dress watches under $7k.

JLC Ultrathin Moon. Such a well balanced watch. Tried one on last week and pictures do not do it any justice whatsoever. Loved it!

Not many indeed, still I've tried one on the other day and found it very beautiful!

Danny, I would recommend you to have a look at this one!

This Baume & Mercier Classima has an 18 kt rose gold case that measures 39 mm, I find it very simple, elegant yet with a size that makes it casual as well. You really have to try it to understand what I mean but I was very impressed when I had it on my wrist. It's not really heavy either and has a beautiful movement shown by a clear case back. The price I was given (without discount) was 5 900$ but you may be able to have a little discount depending on the AD you go to (that is, unless you find one on the gray market).

Not too long ago, I picked up a 14k DJ from the 60's that is a great, and still tough, dress watch. It was well under $7k. Same goes for an older DD.

A pre-owned Reverso might be a nice choice, too. I'm a Girard Perregaux fan, so will suggest the 1945 or Richeville models. Some might fit your budget.
