Swirlies and hairline scratches on polished WG case
I know the answer to this question before even asking it, but I want to know all of your thoughts on swirls and hairline scratches on a brand new PP in the AD case. Other than getting the watch factory sealed it seems as though anything that is displayed at an AD will have that plastic or tape wrap over the case. But once a pair of human hands handles a highly polished PP case it seems as though it gets the micro scratches. Would this bother anyone in the slightest when purchasing a new watch? Obviously demanding a new factory sealed references isn't always an option. Is this just how it goes when handling these highly polished pieces? Besides I would guess I would get the same scratches on it during the first few days of ownership.

2 APs for 1 Patek? Which one (5990-1a or 5960-1a)?
Just picked up the 5980-1r but already thinking of other moves...(still need to move the skyD as part of the 5980-1r transaction as promised to the wife). Now thinking whether to swap the 44mm RG ROO and jumbo for a 5990-1a or 5960-1a. The only concern is 5990-1a may be too similar to 5980-1r but 5990-1a would allow me to wear to work as I usually do not wear gold to work. Seeking expert advice from all the great members of TRF.
