Audemars Piguet Millenary Automatic Baguette-Cut Diamond Ladies Watch 77306BC.ZZ.D025SU.01

Hamilton Sutton
Is the Sutton a good choice for a new Hamilton collector to start with? Which watch should I consider next?

Is this beating a dead horse? Hardlex versus sappire crystals.
I've heard every uneducated opinion from "Hardlex scratches like it's a stick of butter" to "Hardles is just as scratch resistant as sapphire." I've passed on a lot of great looking watches because they had Hardlex, and want to know the real scoop.

White Nautilus 5711
I finally have a chance to get the Nautilus. My grey dealer has both the blue and white dials. The blue, however, has no box and papers while the white is BNIB. They are asking for USD38K for the white and USD36K for the blue. I am leaning towards the white for obvious reasons. I wouldn't consider paying this much amount of hard earned cash for a watch without papers. I've looked on chrono24 and it seems the white Nautilus ranges from as low as 32 to 40 thousand US dollars. Do you guys think this is a fair price? I live in China and I seldom get an opportunity like this. Your wisdom and advice would be highly appreciated. Here are some photos of the watch in question.
