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?

Shall I keep my Daytona 116500LN white face?
Hi there, I'm a new member, I'm not a collector by any means but I did buy my father a GMT II for his 60th Birthday in 2005 I think its a 16710. I know a little bit about the sports watches but really not much compared to the wealth of knowledgeable members posts I have read on this forum.I had the good fortune of picking up a 116500LN recently from an AD. Its a long story as I wanted a BLNR but ended up with the Daytona. Now I have this watch which is gorgeous, It cost me a lot of money and I'm in too minds whether to keep it, I can't really afford to have a watch that expensive unless its going to appreciate in value. I am aware its worth more than what I paid for it. But what about in 10 years time when a new version comes out, will this watch plummet in price to below retail? I doubt very much I will ever wear the watch as its still in the box with tags. Should I keep this box in the safe untouched or sell it now before the next Daytona comes out?Thank you for your help.

What's driving up the demand on the 5-digit GMT Master II's?
Looking through the For Sale section, in just the past 12-24 months it looks like prices on the 5-digit GMT Master II's have gone up tremendously -- something like 20-25% if I had to ballpark a figure. The market is showing that people are willing to pay, but what's driving that demand? Are those watches, particularly the Pepsi, just very in right now? Those are beautiful references, I understand the desire to own one, I'm just wondering why the sudden increase in such a short period of time.
