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

Did you guys know that the Tin Tin Speedmaster was still in production and plentiful?
I stopped into two Omega boutiques over my holiday travels. And I saw in the both shops the Tin Tin. I was told that Omega is still producing these watches and that there really was a stop in production. I was surprised to see brand new Tin-Tin watches. I thought they hadn't made those in 5 years or thereabouts. Now I doubt I'd ever buy one as that dial would clash with almost everything I own but something is strange with Omega and these limited editions .

Good watchmaker in NYC to do an Omega Mod
Hi All,My Mitsukoshi dial and hands will be arriving from Ofrei very shortly. Can anyone recommend some one in NYC to do this mod for me on my Speedmaster? I'm assuming the Omega Store/Service Center on 5th avenue would have no part of that.....Thanks
