Only Watch 2011 Charity Watch Auction
Each two years we get to enjoy the unique pieces watch brands donate to the Only Watch auction event. Held in Monaco at the Monaco Yacht show in September Only Watch proceeds go to benefit medical research dedicated to fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The auction part is facilitated by Antiquorum.UPDATE: Click here to see my growing list of all the Only Watch 2011 auction pieces.Starting in the spring, participating brands will slowly start to announce the special watches they are offering to the auction. These are often really exciting to see. The Only Watch rules dictate that all watches donated for auction must be unique. This either means the first piece in a limited edition, or a totally unique watch made specially for the event by a brand. None of the watches have been officially debuted yet, but I do have a list of the participating brands.

New AP RO 41mm 15400
Was in London today and saw these in Bond street. Had SS, YG on bracelet and strap and a SS chrono version. Also had a 37mm one too. Now I may be biased having bought a 15300 a few months back but I'm not really a fan of the new 41mm models. To me they just look to big and flat. The bezel is thin in comparison to the size of the dial where as on the 15300 it's just about perfect. The 37mm looks tiny in the flesh too. One thing I do actually like are the double baton dials...seems to sharpen up the look a bit.Has anyone else seen these in the shops yet?

Omega SM300
Has anyone acquired an original one off eBay? I've read where the fakes are so realistic, they even have original omega parts. Any words of wisdom or past stories (good or bad) are greatly appreciated.

Hi there,I have read the brilliant thesis on the 5513. Thank you so much for the shared information. As a novice i have come across a 5513 serial number 1785.. evidently 1964 with meters first? The photos I have are not great. Could someone please have a look and advise me. Selling price is just under $9000.Sorry, battling with images.SA COASTAL
