Historical Perspectives: Something To Consider: The Watch On The Left Costs (Approximately) 100 Time
The watch on the right is a Universal Geneve Tri-Compax in stainless steel. It belonged to a man named Reginald Fullerton, who was the grandson of the great early 20th century watch collector (and commissioner of the most expensive watch in history) Henry Graves, Jr. It was sold at the final Graves auction that took place in June of 2012 at Sotheby's.? I purchased it at that sale for around $2,750, and you can read why I did that right here.?The watch dates to about 1945 (Fullerton purchased it new from the Henri Stern Watch Agency in 1948 while visiting with his grandfather) and features a triple calendar, plus moonphase, and chronograph, in a steel case.?The watch on the left looks a heck of a lot like my Universal Geneve, and was even sold alongside my watch at the HSWA in the 1940s, but it's worth about 100 times as much.?

Incoming Concept
As some may remember, I added a laptimer last October. I loved the watch, but it wore too big and was not even close to the comfort of my RM pieces. I traded the laptimer pretty quickly, and felt it was the best decision. I still missed the concept line though. Originally I wanted the GMT concept, but had been talked into the laptimer. I finally had the chance to right this wrong decision. It is also my first tourb ever, which for me I feel is a huge step!I am happy to say I added one of the last AP GMT Tourb Black pieces. It has now been discontinued and I just got the last J serial from my AD. Very excited about it and it overshadows my new RM incoming.
