Patek Philippe Reference 130 Mono-Pusher Chronograph In Steel Sells For $5 Million, And Other Such S
What is there to say? After Aurel Bacs and the Phillips team proved that one of the least-cool watches in the world could indeed be cool on Saturday night with the Day-Date sale, expectations were high but tempered for Sunday night's Geneva Watch Auction: One, a multi-brand, multi-owner sale encompassing everything from modern, still-in-production JLC's to piece-unique vintage Pateks. The entire sale netted $25.2 million (combined with the Day-Date sale, the weekend pulled in over $31m), and four watches hammered over 1m CHF, including a stainless-steel Patek that brought down $5m on its own. Let's break the sale down for you. Stainless-Steel Patek Philippe Mono-Pusher Chronograph Becomes The Most Expensive Steel Ever Sold, And The Third Most Expensive Wristwatch Ever 1 OF 10 A few weeks back, I wrote a story that there were four watches in this sale that could, and should break $1m.

Opportunity To Buy AP ROO Black Themes...Sorta Of
Hey all,I was presented an opportunity to buy the watch pictured below by a good friend of mine. A friend of his is selling it, along with the rest of his watch collection quick as he's going through a divorce and wants to sell them fast as he probably doesn't want his soon to be ex-wife getting any piece of them.Anyway, when I first saw a picture of it, I had thought it was a rubber clad (i'm still quite new to AP and have never owned one nor have I ever even had one in my hand. However, after seeing it in person, i realized that it was not a rubber clad due to it having a black dial with black sub dials. Naturally, it was the rubber bezel and rubber strap that initially made me think it was a rubber clad. My friend then mentioned that his friend had made a comment about the current owner having purchased it from a reputable Canadian grey market dealer (I did find some threads on TRF with quite a few people commenting on him being a standup seller) who replaced the original bezel (

The first sratch. Very light but hurt so bad :(
My baby was in a bad mood and crying the whole night. This morning i was like walking in the moon and a walk through the door. Very light contact between the door handle and the watch. My heart skipped a beat. Now it has a very light scratch on the bezel.The scratch is on 3.30 oclock. I know some of you will kindly smooth me with adding character to the watch thing, but im kinda perfectionist freak. I can not surpass this and keep my eye off it.Now come a question:Im willing to pay few hundred usd for this to disappear. I know this scratch can be esialy remove by a good watchmaker since its very light. Can i make an appointment with AP service centrel in Singapore, bring it in and collect after a day with only that part polishing? Should i bring it to independent watchmaker that skillful enough to do so? In that case, he must located in Singapore as well since i dont have change to go anywhere else in short period. Will it void my warranty? The watch is only 4 months old.Thanks you guy
