Managed to get a Large Tank Solarbeat purely by chance.
Had to go to Malta for an event and yesterday had a few hours to kill so walked into Valetta and noticed a Patek Cartier AD (with a lovely wg 5524 in the window).
Dropped in and had a look around. Had a great selection of both makes (no Aquanaut or Nautilus, and no green Santos or blue PVD version either) but asked if they had a large Solarbeat to hear they did. Tried it, made a deal (10% off list) and walked away with a new watch, gift of a Cartier boxed watch cleaning kit and loupe and a smile on my face !
