Many options, Thanh. What do you want in an AP? Take a look at their website to start. Then visit an AD to check fit. Then you'll have narrowed it down sufficiently for us to help.

The best thing to do is go try them on.. I usually wear a 40mm subc so I thought the 15300 or 26300 would be the perfect watch for me but after trying on a 39mm ap it looked silly on my skinny wrists.. I was going to wait and try to find a 15450 but found a great 10 year old 36mm with newer clasp in great condition. The 36mm fit me great so I went for that with my first ap.. I am not a fan of the roo , I am more of a contemporary royal oak guy the offshore is just too much in your face for me and they would look silly on my skinny wrists..
I might revisit the 26300 on day but for now I am happy with my royal oak moon phase 36mm...

AP and "not too much" in the same sentence?

I'd look into a previously owned stainless steel Royal Oak. Do some research on the various models available. You're still looking at dropping close to $10k or more, so I wouldn't call it inexpensive.

Very likely they won't have the 15300 as it is now discontinued and almost gone everywhere.

Can your Panerai connection help you with an AP?

Unlikely they'll have the 15202 as well. It usually doesn't stay in inventory very long.
