Prices for rarish Rolexes through the roof.
Tintin went well.

Paul Newman Daytona coming up now.

 

Watching now; thanks for the head's up.

This 1675 at 23K EUR paddle price!

Now the Omega 300 will be interesting to watch in comparison ... [EDIT: insert sarcasm]

 

I was looking at that Seamaster but wasn't interested to go that high, also the RAID.... but not any more!

 

Amazing... the RAID just hammered at €70k. It was no. 1/250 but still

 

I have a 3594.50 Replica that is 1/150, want it for 65k? The RAID was a charity auction with no commission; I've seen some very generous charity auction bidders over the years - no explanation for this one though. As you said No 1, maybe worth a 20% premium? Did I hear correctly that Omega SA was the seller?

 

Shame as I was really wanting the Tintin, oh well.....

 

not that high when the description was essentially “this is an inoperable basket case”

 

The RAID going for €70k....
Great news for the charity

 

Probably a lot of fine watches to be found in Monaco. Once wealthy compulsive gamblers hocking their Rolex for one last bet on the wheel before offing themselves.

 

For future reference how do we check the auction?

 

I watched it live online at invaluable.com, and you can check the results here: https://www.artcurial.com/en/sale-m1077-fine-watches

 

I bought the zenith el primero A386 during this auction.

 

And here it is!

 

Pics?

 

Those sub-dials....

 

Is the auction still on?

 

No, it was a live auction.

 

I can only regret the service hands.
But the watch is a real beauty!
