26300ST incoming and thanks to the board for the help!
Appreciated all the advice in this thread:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=767936 Found a super clean full set yesterday, and viola, it's here today thanks to the miracle that is FEDEX overnight. Single owner mostly safe queen purchased at the end of the run in 08/2013. Just lovely. Forgive my terrible phone pictures. I tried to get some different light sources and angles to show the dial as well as possible in different conditions. It appears I am in between links (never was on 15202s), so working with Clearwater to try and get a link and a half sent out. Wearable for now, but looking forward to a perfect fit. This dial has a special charm for me. Condition for an original finish example from over 7 years ago is excellent. I love it. Thanks again to all who gave advice on 39mm vs 41mm.

Already have an order placed for the 1.5 link from Clearwater. The service at Clearwater is second to none (okay tied with the FPJ Boutique in Miami). I love dealing with AP. SO pleasant and responsive, always. Patek and Rolex take note!
