Editors' Picks From The Upcoming Phillips Auctions: 'Start-Stop-Reset: 88 Epic Stainless Steel Chronographs' And 'The Geneva Watch Auction: Three'
You may have already read Ben Clymer's thoughts on the upcoming (May 14th) Phillips "Start-Stop-Reset" auction, which is populated with an almost improbably rich collection of 88 of some of the rarest, most interesting, and most desirable vintage stainless-steel chronographs out there (the offering's so spectacular it's a little unsettling). Phillips has another auction the day after, as well: "The Geneva Watch Auction: Three." The latter isn't themed but that doesn't mean it isn't also full of some really interesting and unusual timepieces, so we sat down here at HODINKEE to do a little window shopping and see which ones from each auction we'd pick if we had the kind of war chest we dream of having. Here's what caught our eye.

Finally the agonizing wait is over!!Now to find a jeweler to size the watch :)Go AP!**Sorry for the crappy photo. And yes I didn't set the date yet.

waiting game
So I pulled the trigger last night on a chrono-cockpit but because i am a penny pincher i had them ship it to me ( i live an hour away in a different state than my AD) to save the tax well UPS said delivery no later than 1200 so i will be paceing around for the next 4 1/2 hours.

help identifying this PP?
After she got her Lady Datejust along with my Rolex, my wife has an appreciation for watches as well (which is great so I don't have to feel guilty). As you may have seen my other posts, I'm now very actively looking for a PP for myself and as with the Rolex, I asked my wife if she'd like one (hopefully in the appropriate price range). Well luckily, she picked this but I can't find any info on it and dealer doesn't have a ref. Any thoughts or information?https://.chrono24/en/patekphi...m&watchTypes=U

My first Rolex!
Good evening all!I purchased my first Rolex 3 weeks ago, a Datejust 41 and I absolutely love it! It's elegant, versatile and down right beautiful. I purchased it pre-owned by a few months, 5 to be exact so it is a 2017 model. The watch is in fantastic condition apart from 2 small gauges on the left hand side of the case. They are deeper than surface scratches I can feel one of them with my nail and visually you can tell they are a lot deeper. As I am new to Rolex, I wanted some opinions on whether these can be buffed/polished out or if the marks are there for good. Thanks :)
