10 Things You Should Know About Wrist Watch Auctions
Watch auctions and dedicated timepiece auction houses are more popular now than ever before, and we'd like to try to explain what you need to know before becoming a potential auction bidder. Without a doubt, it is an exciting time to be a watch lover, because the world is talking about timepieces more than ever. On the one hand, you have the gradual emergence of the smartwatch industry that, despite concerns from some low-end brands, will likely have the outcome of making people notice wrist watches more than the general public has in the last 20 years. On the other hand, you have a new form of financial investment mentality surrounding the exciting world of high-end luxury watch auctions and the rising ceiling of potential values, as well as the apparent expanding pool of potential watch buyers. The result isn't just an increasing frequency of watch-themed auctions, but also entire new businesses dedicated to bringing more watches to auction for more people.I would go so far as to say

Feedback needed on the 15400 and 5711
Torn between the 15400 and 5711. I tried on both and they both look good. I don't want to buy both at the moment. Would really like to hear from 15400 owners about the wrist time it gets and what it's like to live with and overall satisfaction (any issues, versatility, dent/scratchability ) If anyone has both- I'd love to know which one you prefer and why. Thanks!

Omega Seamaster White 42mm. Who wears this watch? Wrist shots please!
I'm guessing because this is a 42mm Ceramic Bezel watch it's designed for Gents. I don't see any threads about it though...show me some shots and feedback please!

does the PO seem larger than pams?
i just came from AD to check out the omega seamaster planet ocean 42mm.the first thing i noticed is that it is way heavier than Pam112.is the weight difference mainly due to the strap vs bracelet or the watch itself?the second is that it seemed even larger and thicker than the pam112 (manual wind).to my surprise, the 44mm pam seemed to fit my 6.5 inch wrist better than the PO. i looked at it from lug to lug. i also noticed that the curve on the lugs of the pam seem deeper than the angle of the PO. making it hug the wrist more than the PO.what i havent tried is whether the PO will fit under shirt cuff because the pam definitely wont.is this really the case? or will it all work out after resizing the bracelet?Thanks!
