Sotheby's Results 6/14/12 - Is modern Patek now overpriced?
I'm looking over the Sotheby's numbers today. Most of the Graves/ Fullerton collection did great and far exceeded the high estimates, but the newer stuff kind of bombed in my opinion. A couple modern deals IMO from the Graves auction were:- Lot 23: 5040R - $35,000 (less than 1/2 price of last retail)- Lot 34: 5110P - $37,500 (the one later in the day went for ~$10k more!) The last 4 lots of the following general watch sale were all fairly modern Pateks and none even met reserve. They were a 3970EJ, 5970G, 5101R and a 5033P. Obviously, the reserves and estimates were a little greedy to say the least. Sotheby's must be disappointed to finish such a historic day on a sour note though. Wonder if we'll see a slow down in the market or if this is just a blip on the radar?

Rolex ain��t kidding when they claim...
tighter spec than COSC with -2/+2. For my past watches with 31XX generation movement, timekeeping over certain days deviate average of 0-2 seconds which is superb compared to rest of the brand but daily deviation around 3-4 seconds sometimes depending on rest position and power reserve.The newer movement (at least for the Sky D), is consistently 0 Sec deviation EVERY day for past 2 months, regardless of resting position. What sorcery is this??

Rolex Accuracy Revisited
There have been countless OP/threads pertaining to the everyday accuracy of a COSC certified Rolex and those concerns are often justified (to some extent) given that one is paying a premium price for a premium mechanically engineered timepiece.That said, perhaps it is time to draw the line on unreasonable expectations and any potential disappointments. Case in point. My 16610 is currently keeping time to within +1.5 seconds per day and that amounts to roughly +45 seconds per 30 days. On the other hand, my Seiko 6T63 chronograph is running within an amazing +1 second per month. While we are comparing apples with oranges, two additional factors need to be taken into consideration.The COSC rating for a mechanical watch is -4/+6 seconds per day and for a COSC quartz model it's +/- .07 seconds per day. Anything above or beyond those figures is an added bonus. In the case of ordinary quartz watches, most non-COSC models are rated at about +/- 10-15 seconds per month and as far as non-COSC me
