Editorial: Personal Thoughts On The Phillips Start-Stop-Reset Steel Chronographs Sale
The art of the thematic watch sale is a delicate one, indeed. In the modern era, the benchmark by which all other thematic sales are measured is that of the Christie's-under-Aurel-Bacs Lesson One: Daytona sale, where 50 watches sold, 50 records were set, and the final sale brought in a mind-blowing four times the high estimate. I was in the audience, and the room was really, truly electric – and not just electric for a watch auction, which as you may know, means very little, but like, actually exciting. This sale was crazy, and the results were mind-blowing – the reverberations of which we still feel today in the current Daytona market, two and a half years later. Since then, we've seen other thematic sales both by Christie's – Patek 175 and Speedmaster NYC, and another by Bacs in the Glamorous Day-Date sale at his new home, Phillips – but none seemed to capture the same excitement with watch fans, or bidders. I could hypothesize about

Incoming, My First AP!!!!!
Really excited to join this great fraternity. I looked at many models, but the ROC fit me the best. I loved the 42mm ROO Chrono, but alas, the ROC fit me a little better and just was what I was looking for. A little more understated and very classy.... I didn't have a white/silver faced watch, so this was the one. Mulled it over for 6+ months. Finally pulled the trigger at a nice AP boutique in Aspen. The sales guy, Ivan, was a pleasure to work with and I took the plunge.

Need Information on Breitling Watch
Hello! I am new to this forum, and i was hoping someone on here would be able to help me out. My grandfather just died and one of the things he left me is this watch. I am going to include pictures so that hopefully someone can identify it and tell me a bit more about it. The strap is broken, so if possible information about how to get that fixed would help. If the watch is fake, can someone also tell me if it is actually a fake, because i have no idea how to tell.PS. Since the watch is from my grandfather, i am not looking to sell it. Information on how much the watch is worth is helpful, but be aware that i am not going to sell it. Thanks!!Multiple ways to get to the pictures!img504.imageshack.us/g/dsc00450w.jpg/yfrog/e0dsc00450wjx[IMG]img504.imageshack.us/slidesho...=dsc00450w.jpg[/IMG]

Negativity about the 5726?
Can someone please explain to me why there's so much negativity surrounding the 5726, whenever it's mentioned in tandem with the 5711 or 5712? Whenever I read reviews about this watch (Hodinkee, etc.), they're all in love with the 5726. But on this website it appears as though it gets knocked around like a rotten tomato. To me, the mechanism of the 5726 seems superior to the others since it's an AC, and the dial sure looks a lot more balanced and eye-appealing than the asymmetric 5712. Yet it appears that the 5711 and 5712 get so much more attention by this website and even some AD's. I'm new at this, so can someone please explain this? I'm confused. Is it just because the 5726 is thicker?

Only kind of threesome I am allowed to have nowadays...
