Breaking News: Phillips To Hold Stainless Steel Chronographs Only Sale This Coming May (Early Look)
Nobody knows how to put on a more interesting watch auction than Aurel Bacs & Co. at Phillips – this much we know. But, after last May's very successful, if perhaps a little staid, thematic Day-Date sale, I think we were all hoping Phillips would come, guns blazing, back into its next thematic sale – and they did, and then some! This May, Phillips will host an evening sale of just chronographs. Stainless-steel chronographs. There isn't a hotter category in the world, and we have a look at some of the early lots – and boy, is this one going to be a killer.The first watch you'll notice at top is one you may know – it's the Rolex reference 4113 – otherwise known as the mack-daddy of the Rolex world. Why? Because it's a freaking 44 mm split-seconds chronograph from Rolex made in only 12 examples! The 4113 is the holy grail reference in the world of Rolex, and Phillips has one. Estimate is 800 to 1.4 million CHF. 1 OF 6 Tropi

Newbie Speedy question
I have a newbie question about my new-to-me Speedy Snoopy (1861 movement). Is there any danger to the movement if I move the minute hand backward to correct the time since it runs a few seconds fast each day?I don't expect to have to do this often (I'm not fanatical about to-the-second time), but I would just as soon not move forward, say, 11 hrs and 58 minutes if it's eventually running two minutes fast if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

Here is mine... simple enough
Do know 5711 blue is one everyone talks about. As a bug Pam fan, and do love occasional white dial... and decided to go with white... something different and subtle.Love it.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
