Omega Hospitality Club?
Hi all - I recently spent a very enjoyable hour and a half at the local Omega boutique looking at a variety of Speedmasters. I really had a blast and was impressed by the knowledge and kindness displayed by the staff there. I do have a question about the Omega Hospitality Club I was told about. The gentleman mentioned some vague benefits to purchasing a watch from the boutique, from early screenings of James Bond films to wine tastings. My question is do you guys know any more about the Hospitality Club? What exactly is it? I know it's mentioned to make paying full retail more attractive to the consumer, but I was pretty unclear on what it actually included. Thanks in advance!

New to Patek
after collecting watches for a few years now (mostly rolex) I've decided to look into patek and possibly acquire a few. I went this weekend to 3 retail stores to hopefully take one home and unfortunately hit a wall.... I had no idea the demand and rarity of this collection; mainly on the two I am interested in. . the aqaunaut and the nautilus . .. they all told me Patek is not accepting any order or deposits for this year on those two models. does anyone know where I can find new timepieces in stock? I appreciate any advice:

Nice gift

Panerai Mind Boggle
I would like to acquire a Panerai sometime this year. I am having a few holdups and wanted everyone’s opinion. Below I will list what I know/want.- I love the open case back ala 112- I love the icon logo ala 000- I think I prefer the old ETA movement over the new in-house but not 100% on this fact- I do not want any date / power reserve etc basically a base color doesn’t matter technically just a simple face is the criteria - I believe the “older” models have a screw down back over a newer designMy biggest problem is the simple fact if I can get a new 8 day in house movement with an msrp of 6k for 4-4500 vs a used 112 for 3800-4400 do I see the value in the more preferred dial(not reading 8 days), and easier eta movement for years to come? Or just go with a brand new piece due to the close proximity in price.I also am not knowledgeable on the difference of series, if anyone can shed some light for me?I know I have a lot of criteria and some are impossible and
