Sotheby’s to Auction Rare Patek Philippes Owned by Henry Graves Family
In December 1999, Sotheby's made watch-auction history. The auction house sold the so-called Henry Graves Supercomplication �� a pocketwatch originally commissioned from Patek Philippe by noted watch collector Henry Graves, Jr., and which featured 24 complications �� for an astounding $11,002,500, still the world record for any timepiece at auction. Last week, Sotheby’s announced that it will hold a single-owner sale on June 14, 2012 in New York that will include more rare watches from the collections of Graves and his grandson, Reginald “Pete” H. Fullerton, Jr., a noted collector and connoisseur in his own right.The auction, called Watches from the Collection of the late Reginald H. Fullerton, Jr. and his Grandfather Henry Graves, Jr., will comprise a group of 13 pieces collected by Graves that have never before been published or appeared on the market, as well as a group of 42 wristwatches and an important Knibb Grande Sonnerie Long Case Clock, assembled by Fullerton

Large loss of time- AP Diver help!
I purchased my BNIB AP Diver in July 2012 and worn it nearly every day. The past month I have woken up, to find that my watch will be ~30 minutes behind the actual time but only once in a blue moon. So i would rest the watch then this past week, it has happened twice. Now, once in the middle of the day where I look down and I see it is ~30 minutes behind (No damage has been done to the watch except normal wear and tear, all OEM, never opened, original owner, always fully wound from wearing it near 24/7 except certain events and shower)Ugh, I have it on my calendar to send into AP for my 3rd year checkup in April....but it may look like it will need to go in earlier? Any thoughts?Thanks all-

Should I sell my Panerai?
Greetings everyone!!A few months ago my dad gave me first expensive watch (Who got it as a gift a few years ago). Panerai PAM 114. I've never owned an expensive watch before (except for an Omega Seamaster, which I sold). I liked Audemars Piguet but their prices are insane for me. In the short term, I hope to buy a Rolex Datejust.Now back to the Panerai. I did some research and found that it is a good watch. It's really nice looking, but I don't feel that it fits me as a guy in my early 20s.Now what I was thinking is selling it and buying a Datejust or putting some more money for an Audemars Piguet. But as I have no experience with Panerai I hoped to get some insight from Panerai fans.How much should I sell it for? I have no box or papers, but I'm sure it's %100 authentic.Where is the best place to sell it? I know eBay could be good. They'd take a %13 and there is this buyer protection, which from my understanding is very harmful for a seller without a established reputation. I heard of

2nd Watch Dilemma.......
So I bought my first luxury timepiece back in September 2017 and although I love my Submariner 116610LN, I have been craving a second luxury time piece ever since. I have slim wrists so anything over 40mm is a no go, my budget realistically is around 3,000 to 4,000. I'm looking for something a bit more dressy. So I have short listed it to these 3 and do not know which one to go for, love them all equally. Wrist shots and any other suggestions welcome:- 1- Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space 39.7mm - Reference 311.32.40.30.01.001- ?3,520 RRP.2- Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm - Reference 116000 - ?3,950 RRP. 3- Grand Seiko Automatic 37mm- Reference SBGR251 - ?3,700 RRP.
