A few speckles/freckles ain't bad. Goes with the territory. If you only buy watches without a mark you won't have many watches or money. As long as they are unobtrusive, like not one large blob or too many, it can add to the beauty, and actually make a finer dial even better by reminding us that it's old.
At 5k it's not a steal but to me seems more than fair. I suspect it'll seem cheap in 2 to 3 years. They are stunning watches.
I can't answer your service question. I had mine serviced but the guy didn't like working on it. Parts are available but getting scarce. You probably know this because you asked. It can be serviced, but there is likely a point in the future (hopefully not soon) where they may sit on shelves because of no parts or craftsman. Not yet though.
Let us know if you get it.
