William (left) with Christie's International Watch Department Head Aurel Bacs (right)& A Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 (middle)Christie's, the renowned auction house, will have yet another "Important Watches" auction event in Geneva on November 11, 2013. Here in New York, I personally received a special preview. I was excited when my good friend, John Reardon (Senior Vice-President, Head of Christie's New York Watch Department), invited me to today's preview event. From past experience, I knew that I would have the chance to see and touch some of the world's finest timepieces which once again equates to a lot of Patek Philippes and Rolexes.While taking in the watches (more on that later) John introduced me to Aurel Bacs, the Head of Christie's International Watch Department. Known throughout the watch world for his discerning eye, I had to ask about his favorite watch. When a man is surrounded by millions of dollars of spectacular watches all day, every day- what gets him excited?Patek

Omega's Other Icon... Which One is it & Why?
Ok Omega aficionados... here is a question for you. Assuming that the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is clearly an Omega Icon (if not The Icon) which model would be next in line and why? I am interested in the different opinions, history, etc...Thanks in advance for the input.

Aquanaut Deployant Clasp Wear
In looking for a used Aquanaut I have seen quite a few of the deployant clasps that appear misaligned or with significant gaps between the two halves. This seems to be very different than when the watch is reviewed on videos or in pictures of new watches.Can anyone relate their experience with the wear on the clasp and perhaps how to prevent premature misalignment of the clasp? Or, perhaps the clasp can be serviced and realigned during regular maintenance.

Platinum or Rose?
Hi all,So my adventure continues. As I was advised early on, I am trying to get the nicest example of a PP that I really like (not one that I only think is going to hold the most value...though it would still be nice since I know the day to sell will come). Problem is that I'm going to have a very difficult time deciding between the 5055, 5035, & 5024 (i know the 5024 is an odd third choice here but I was always a fan of a modern looking gondolo from PP). What I'd like your opinions on, since my two favorite tones are silver (so the G or P) and the rose gold, is which do you think is a smarter purchase? I ask this because I'm starting to see some P examples in the same price range as G or R.
