Patrizzi & Co. NYC Spring Sale Brings $2.7 Million
Patrizzi & Co Auctioneers held its first New York City auction on June 4. The sale included 293 timepieces. Seventy-three percent of the lots sold for a total of more than $2,707,150. More than 50 bidders were present in the auction room, and online bidders participated from Italy, Switzerland, Macao, Portugal, Japan, Dubai, and across the U.S. “We're finding collectors are interested in buying at auction but are more selective in the current economic climate,” said Osvaldo Patrizzi, chairman and chief executive officer of Patrizzi & Co. “Sport watches, particularly from Rolex and Omega, performed well, as did pocket watches and clocks. Some timepieces sold for three to four times their estimate.”Patek Philippe secured the top three places in the sale, with a Ref. 5959P split-seconds chronograph bringing the top price at $260,000. A yellow gold automatic winding Ref. 3448 with phases of the moon, month day, date, made in 1971, brought $125,000. Close beh

Buying an AP in Tokyo?
Hey all. Newly joined member as I have been stuck looking for information. I'm vacationing in Tokyo (I'm from Toronto) for a few days, and I've been looking around for new or gently used preown APs. I have to say, Tokyo is pretty amazing in terms of selection!I was just inside the AP boutique shop in Ginza, and was quoted 2400000 yen for the ROC SS. They have them in black, white, or blue dial!As a reference, used goes for 2000000 yen here. I find it interesting from the sales rep that there's no room for negotiation, as another AP AD (best watches in Shinjuku) was ready to negotiate. I was hoping members on this board can assist me with the pricing in Europe, US and Canada with the 2016 price for this? I tried searching and couldn't find the info. Or another option is to go with DavidSW, but am I losing anything from not buying from an AD?Thank you!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huge Omega fan about to buy a Rolex...
Hello all,Here are my 2 Omegas. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1370810644.453751.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1370810655.286410.jpgThe Seamaster was a 21st birthday present from my mum and dad. I have worn in 24/7 365 days a year ever since. The De Ville is circa 1980 around the time I was born. I really love the simplicity of this watch. As much as I love my Seamaster and will keep it forever I have always dreamed over owning a Rolex Submariner. Well my 30th birthday is coming up soon so I feel the time is right to treat myself. I have mixed emotions really. I'm very excited to get the Sub on my wrist however the Omega has been my daily watch for 9 years and has never put a foot wrong!
