Sotheby's Hong Kong Announces Highlights From The Upcoming October Sale With A Rare Vintage Patek Philippe Leading The Pack
Sotheby's Hong Kong has just announced the highlights from their upcoming sale on October 6th. The sale will consist of 420 lots with an estimate exceeding 86 million HKD ($11 million US). The sale consists of a range of pieces from all the major watch brands with a spattering of jeweled pieces, modern wristwatches, and vintage pieces. BUT the most exciting part of the sale is the vintage Patek Philippe Reference 2523 World-Time with dual-crown. 1 OF 2 Leading the pack is an incredibly cool Patek Philippe Reference 2523/1 Yellow Gold World Time Wristwatch with 24-hour indication and double crown, made in 1968 with an estimate of 4 to 5.5 million HKD ( $510,000 to $710,000 US). The reference 2523 was an extension of Louis Cottier's famous world-time design (invented in 1931) but with a new two-crown design that was launched in 1953. This example, a 2523-1, features a guilloché dial that is part of a limited production of 20. This watch is fresh to the market

Thinking of trading BLNR for Elephant or 26400SO
Hey all, I am looking for opinions on this swap. I have a NIB BLNR and am thinking of swapping it for one of the above. I had planned to just add one of the above but also have a HULK which kind of fills my SS Rolex.Only thing is I can not seem to find a 44mm ROO locally to try on so I would be taking a big leap on that one. Downside to the Elephant is the SS bezel. I have OCD issues, so the thought of that getting scratched up makes me nervous to go that route. :)I was originally wanting to go with a 15300 or 15202 but I think I would like something a bit more bold.Any thoughts?ThanksD

Can't wait...243 on the way

PAM P090 straps replacement
I havent wear my PAM90 in a while since i have other different timepieces to wear with in a rotation daily, and i finally got that out of the safe & started to wear it again today; but i feel a little bit bored with the style now, and think of maybe changing the straps will give my watch to have a bit of a new look &/or add some fashon styles to it! IMG_2409.JPGIMG_7309.jpgIMG_7320.jpgIMG_7325.jpgIMG_7333.jpgI saw those straps from one of the sellers up on ebay, & they have different buckle options, like the bronze one & PVD, what do you guys think?.ebay/itm/111260291492...ht_1055wt_1238.ebay/itm/111260295222...ht_1054wt_1238.ebay/itm/111260297348...ht_1073wt_1238.ebay/itm/111260298606...ht_1073wt_1238

Any women wearing a Panerai??? Wrist shots??
Curious if the Panerai is a gender specific brand. I see the women wearing the Daytona and wondered if Panerai attracts the same crowd. Any wrist shots??
