Near-term availability of Spectre Seamaster 300
I know this is a loaded question, but what do you think about the future of the new Spectre model in terms of availability and value? I thinking I want to get one, but am not keen on paying retail (which is basically the only option now) but I'm also concerned if I wait until it's come down or forum dealers have it, they might have already been all snapped up by collectors.I know it's hard to predict, but I can't really get a read on previous 007 models, plus IMO this is the best one they've ever done in terms of being much more subtle/etc.Will normal ADs get these or will they be boutique only?

Legibility of 5140p
As I continue my quest for my first Patek, I have to say I'm leaning towards a watch with a gray slate sunburst dial. We've already discussed the 5146g vs the 5146p (both of which I adore), but now the 5140p has gained my attention (although I don't know if I can afford it??). The 37mm case, as well as the flatter 9mm height, would fit my thinner wrist more appropriately; but my concern is the the hour and minute hand. As opposed to the 5146, they are bare metal, rather than coated with luminescence, which to me, makes them more difficult to read over this complicated dial. And if you look at all the images of the 5140p on the internet, the hands are strategically placed at 10:10, to avoid covering the complications. I would welcome any comments on the legibility of the 5140p and also welcome any pics of this watch with the hands covering any of the complications. Thanks again for your help. By the way....does anyone know of an AD where I can actually try on the various watches

SS Nautilus or Aquanaut with SS band?
Went into the city today to look at the Nautilus (5711) but could not find one. I did see an Aquanaut, but it was on a SS band (not rubber) and I must say I think I like it. Curious what the consensus here is on the Aquanaut on SS band.It was this model.swissluxury/patek-phi...anaut-mens.htm

Scratch on back of case. Brand new purchased at AD
There is no way I made this scratch. Wore it home from ad and put it in the pillow and into the Rolex box. 7 days later I notice a scratch on the back of the case (opposite side of the face). I spoke to a very nice employee over the phone who said I can take the watch in and they can offer me a free polishing. I told him Ill take the free polish but I wont polish for at least a year due to the watch being brand new. I went into the store the following day. Unfortunately, the sales rep i spoke over the phone was not working so i told the problem to another sales rep there.She was very rude... telling me that every watch has a plastic at the back of the watch. Saying look i have lots of scratches like that on my watch. How rediculous. Haha funny because I remember clearly there was no sticker at the back of my watch at the time of purchase!! She did not even check my information and told me the original sales rep will call me tomorrow.The watch has already been resized with all stickers
