Hi all
Very interesting discussion here. I recently started digging in to the provenance of this watch and I am not convinced merely on the word of a letter from Charlie Hodge. Also interestingly this watch was sold at auctio by Heritage Auction just 6 months ago. I am now very skeptical of high profile celebrity items like this that go to auction as a result of my investigation into a Patek Philippe that was purportedly linked to the late billionaire Howard Hughes -- turns out the whole story of provenance was bogus, but Christies sold the watch any way for $254,000 (the whole pathetic saga is also documented in full on my blog Perpetuelle).
You guys take care and if you have anything else interesting on this watch let me know! I think that the power and wisdom of we the humble watch enthusiast crowd is extremely important on matters like this.
