Geneva-based Antiquorum Auctioneers turns 40 this year, and it is celebrating with an auction of Important Modern & Vintage Timepieces, to be held at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, on Saturday, February 22.

Introducing: Roger Dubuis Announces The Hommage Millesime Pocket Watches, A Series Of One Of A Kind
Roger Dubuis has just shared with us the beginning of a most interesting project and one that will undoubtedly attract a good deal of attention, as well as, perhaps, a bit of controversy. This is the Hommage Millésime project. The name means, approximately, Vintage Homage, and the idea is to take very high grade and complicated movement ébauches – generally from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when classical watch construction and finishing techniques really reached their pinnacle before beginning to be supplanted by machine and automated manufacturing and finishing tools – and to use them as the basis for making watches that reflect both the heritage of Roger Dubuis and the personal history of Mr. Roger Dubuis. 1 OF 4 Roger Dubuis himself is a watchmaker who began his professional life working in the restoration of rare and often very complicated vintage clocks and watches, and restoration remains a key aspect of his overall views on the

SD43, D-Blue or TT Blue Sub C?
Hi All,My current collection includes the BLNR and LV Sub C. I'm contemplating adding a 3rd to round out the collection. I've narrowed my options down to the SD43, D-blue or TT Blue Sub C. However, I've had a difficult time finding any local Rolex AD that has all 3 in stock to do a thorough side by side comparison. I'm interested if any forum members have had a similar experience and your thoughts on what you might choose to have a nice balance. I appreciate all your advice and insight in advance!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Authorized Dealer Sales Volume Data
I understand everything with Rolex seems to be unattainable as of late BUT I wanted to compile this thread with any information available. I think it will help to a degree to see that some AD's get a ton more goodies and others just get 36mm DD's. So here goes:If you have any concrete sales volume data regardless of how detailed it may or may not be please post. I am sure monthly, quarterly, and yearly Rolex SA send there AD's or reps at the very least a tally of what was sold/sent etc along with objectives. If you have access to this information and don't mind posting it please do so for the sake of the forum.My only intention is to try and make sense of the way Rolex operates. My hope is to assist some people who are paying over MSRP with a fighting chance to guide them in the direction of there desired purchase.Please don't post your speculation or what my AD said. My intention of this thread is to aggregate concrete data for the interest of the forum and its members.Thank you
