I'm interested in an 1894 Homage limited Edition, but they commonly seem to be without Box/Papers?

    I've been interested in picking up one of the 1894 models for a while now. Not at all my usual style of watch but that movement, in that case just works so well.

    However they're obviously very, very rare, but when I have seen them for sale, they tend to come without B&P. I find this odd for such a watch, which is aimed at collectors really I would have thought.

    Have I just been unlucky in my searches?

    guess is tough to keep in good shape a box for 122 years?

    These watches were produced in the 1990s. They were re-editions or homages as far as I'm aware.

    One sold today at Knightsbridge. Anyone know the hammer price? Don't think it had box or papers...

    Both of these are sans papers.

    I hadn't seen that. Very nice but seems a little on the pricey side. Thanks for the heads up though.

    He got one for a fellow member who inquired about mine.
    Needless to say: Doing business with Kringkily is as good as it gets.

    Man these are great looking watches. Wish I wasn't on the hunt for a specific piece right now or I'd be very tempted to grab the one here.
