Under the Hammer: My Favorite Lots from Today’s Christie’s NYC Auction
Today at 10AM Eastern Time Zone (UTC -05:00), Christie’s New York Important Watches Auction will begin. I got to sit with the newly appointed Vice President and Senior Specialist of Watches, Eric Wind, and ask him about a few of my favorite timepieces from this season’s auction. If you’re reading this after 10AM, click here to stream the auction and see what these pieces go for in real time.Lot #26 – Universal Gen��ve Gold Chronograph Retailed by Herm��sUniversal Gen��ve was known as a brand that created groundbreaking designs in the early 20th century. In 1935, the Compax was introduced and it was the first chronograph wristwatch to display both hour & minute registers.

No AD in my area
My home is in rural Texas, about 1.5 hours from Austin. There is no AD near by and I'm interested in buying a 42mm PO. Can anyone recommend an AD that will ship to Texas? I really don't care where they are located, out of TX saves me a bit on sales tax, but really want to purchase from an AD. Another semi-related question - is there significant differentiation in the US on price from AD to AD or do they all sell at MSRP? Obviously I'm new to this so any advice is appreciated. I understand from reading this forum that pricing is a sensitive issue with Omega so if a private message is a more appropriate way to communicate please let me know. Thanks!

How tight do you wear your watch?
I recently took out a link in my 5711, it's a pet peeve when the watch rolls around my wrist, but now it's like so tight to a point it's strangling my wrist, but good news no more wrist rolling around action. I am trying this method for a week and see how it goes. If it continues to be an annoyance I will have to go back to the AD and add the link back.
