Historical Perspectives: The True And Sad Story Of J.B. Champion, Jr., The Man Behind The Most Expen
On November 12, 2012, the watch collecting community watched in wonder as two of the world's most important Patek Philippe wristwatches went under the hammer at Christie's Geneva: a reference 2499 perpetual calendar chronograph in platinum?offered for sale by Eric Clapton (one of two white metal 2499s ever made, with the other belonging to Patek Philippe)?and a reference 2458 that was made especially for Joe Ben Champion, Jr. housing a movement that placed third in the 1948 Geneva Observatory competition. Each would have been the cover lot for any just about any other watch auction, but it just so happened that they were part of the same sale. On paper, many would have assumed that the Clapton 2499 would sell for more than the Champion 2458 �C but many would have been wrong. Champion's 2458 was the champion of the sale, bringing in over $4 million. The winner of the watch? Alfredo Paramico, who has since sold it.

Seamaster Planet Ocean?
Hello everybody,I'm thinking to buy a Seamaster Planet Ocean with the orange leather Bracelet but don't know what size. I tried the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage who has a 46mm case and liked the size of the case! I would appreciate any input on rather to go with the 42mm case or the XL. Like I said before I liked the 46mm Breitling but never saw or tried the Omega XL (45mm) and since I probably will order the watch it would be nice to get your opinions especially how the sizes will feel at the wrist. If you could post pics of your Planet Ocean as well that would be awesome!Thanks a lot in advance

Omega with Class...Cufflinks!!
The best way to top of a great business look or an evening affair is to wear Omega Cufflinks with your Omega watch! I have wanted a pair of these for years. I guess too lazy to just go to the Omega Boutique. But my search came to an end last week arriving from across the Pond aka the UK. After spending more than I wanted...when they arrived they were worth every cent! The detail is unbelievable, from the certificate of authenticity, to the serial numbers engraved on the back, to the engraved omega symbol on the end. I was shocked to see it come in the white mini omega box. If you ever have an opportunity to grab a set...Just Do It!!
