Another "Advice for Panerai Newb" thread

Hi, I've admired Panerai for a long time from afar, but recently I'm becoming seriously interested and I think my next piece will be a Panerai. Seeing pics of the 690 really got me excited...I love everything about it except that my preference would be for a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. Here are some different things I'm looking for in my first Panerai:

-44 to 47mm
-sapphire crystal (preference for highly domed)
-display back
-seconds hand
-NO date
-sandwich dial
-no wire lugs
-at least some brushed surfaces
-preference for manual wind but automatic isn't a deal breaker
-preference for full 3, 6, 9, 12 dial but missing "9" isn't a deal breaker

I'm open to new or preowned. I'm not sure which case size/style I prefer...I'm planning to visit a boutique to try them out on the wrist soon. The number of different models is definitely intimidating! Any advice on which models I should consider given my preferences? Some I've found so far are 127, 422, 510, 572, and 619...(and the 690 would be high up there even though it's a fully polished case). Any others I should consider that meet my criteria? Preferences among the ones I've listed? Thanks for the help!
