Sotheby's To Auction One Of The World's Largest Swatch Collections, Including Prototypes
Watch enthusiasts are not limited to collecting only pricey marvels of modern engineering or exceedingly rare vintage specimens. In fact, we come in all breeds, including fans of the pop-culture-influenced watches produced by Swatch. If you fall into that category, you're in luck: this spring, Sotheby's Hong Kong will auction one of the world's largest collections of Swatch watches and ephemera from a private collector. Over 5,800 elements are included in the collection, which is to be offered as a superlot valued at $1.3 million.This behemoth assortment of watches, art, and other collectibles comes from a European collector, Paul Dunkel, who cites the widespread appeal of Swatch watches as the catalyst for building his collection over the past 25 years. While Mr. Dunkel's collection is extensive, this isn't the first time that a massive collection of Swatch products has gone on the block.

Ref.5402 B series
Hello everyone,Just quick advice, I have been proposed a 5402 with B serial number in the early 1300. The watch has the AP on the 12 and not on the 6 like the A series. However I have seen advertised also later serials with still the AP on the 6.This doesn't seem clear to me, in fact from what I have read the dials in stock after the A series was completed were used for early B series. Therefore either my watch or the ones advertised may have had a later dial change, can you confirm?Hope is all Clear and thanks for your time

My One and Only: Datejust II vs Explorer I
As some of you already know, I have been torn over finding my one and only Rolex that I hope to purchase in the next few months. I am looking for versatility in whatever watch I buy. I'm in a suit at least once a week and in jeans/button up shirt the rest of the week. I like the DJII, but I'm not sure if it will dress down too well with shorts and a t shirt. But, I like the silver dial, as opposed to the black. I also like the date function. On the other hand, I'm digging the chromalight lume, brushed bracelet, oysterlock clasp, and WG Arabic numerals on the Exp I. One thing I think I will miss is the date complication if I choose the Explorer. For those of you who may own both, what are your thoughts? Too many good choices out there!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
