Lou Gehrig's Hamilton Piping Rock Sells For $340,000, More Than Twice What It Sold For In 2011
Lou Gehrig needs no introduction. In 1928, he received a Hamilton Piping Rock wristwatch for winning the World Series. In 2011, it came up for sale, and we covered it here. The watch ended up selling for $155,000. Just this past week, it went under the hammer again at SCP auctions. The result? A final selling price of more than DOUBLE what it brought just three years ago. 2 OF 2 With a final sale price of $340,200, this continues to make a case for provenance driven sales. The Hamilton Piping Rock is a very interesting, and relatively desirable American wristwatch, but by no means very valuable. To see a result this strong, one twice as strong as what we saw in 2011, means that provenance is more valuable than ever. You can read more about the sale right here.

How to use Rehaut markings on skyland
I have been unable to find any info on how to use the Rehaut markings on the skyland avenger. It is a linear scale from 0-100. Can anyone shed some light on these markings and their purpose or function with the chronograph? Thank you

Eyes on the stars
Well, sort of.

AD recommendations in Louisiana...
Hello everyone. I'm new to the Rolex world and have been doing a bit of research. I would like to begin building a relationship with a local AD. I'm looking for recommendations in Louisiana and possibly the Dallas Fort Worth area as well as Austin Texas. I'm in DFW and Austin 4-6 times a year. New Orleans and Baton Rouge are a short ride away as well. Has anyone dealt with anyone in particular that they would recommend? I'll be purchasing an 116610LN within the next few weeks. Heading down to New Orleans this weekend and intend on visiting a few ADs there. Thanks for any help.

Incoming Watch Box
I just unboxed my new Rapport Watch Box. Its beautifully well made and worth every penny. The number of watch holders intentionally exceeds the size of my current collection. However, I have an incoming BLNR that should be here very soon per my AD. I'm also waiting on a blue face SS Skydweller like so many other collectors.
