Christie's Tests Online-Only Watch Auctions
Major auctioneer Christie's is currently running their first ever "online-only auction," "The Essential Watch Collection" These days, we're all accustomed to researching watches online, and then, very likely also buying them online. Major auctioneers have for a long time been trying to get a piece of the "eBay pie," and the plan is to approach the sale of vintage watches online by offering a curated, safe environment where watches are vetted by professionals and available through a trusted source.Christie's isn't outright saying it, but "The Essential Watch Collection," populated with 22 watch lots is a test.

Omega CK2998 Opinions
What're your thoughts on the Omega CK2998 Limited Edition?

3570.50 or 3574.51
So I am about to purchase my first speedy pro and I have the opportunity to buy a new 3574.51 or a slightly used 3570.50. Which one would you guys get?I know that they are essentially the same minus the caseback, but I still can't decide. I kind of like the original plus that one is at a jeweler that will take a decent trade price on my 2538.20 great white. If I go with the 3574.50 then I need to wait and sell my great white for a decent price. Also is there a way to check when the watch was made with the serial number?thanks for any advice
