They were worth watching!
'10 past 10' nearly all the way.
Still smiling.
Incidentally, are early Sekonda military watches any cop?

1967 pre-moon vintage Omega Speedmaster reference 145.012 fully serviced 321 movement and for sale.
Only a few thousand off Buzz Aldrins 145.012 67 watch that went to the moon. Considerably cheaper than that one....if it is ever found!

Very nice. Do you take petulant children in payment?

Maybe the most expensive but certainly not the prettiest! A panda face 6240/6263 for me please!

I’m not particularly a Daytona fan , but the Newman is very nice .
I’m obsessing about sky dwellers at the moment ... out of my league but I’d love either a rose gold with brown fave or a white gold with black

Love a PN Daytona. But at 1% the price is mad. It’s a watch. It like our cars. At this rate the insurance makes ownership a financial liability. Time to dumb down & buy a Heuer!

It’s. I different to fine art though ... sometimes things become more than their physical being .... for what ever reason 2 people wanted this and there fore it’s worth what’s its worth.
It’s the same as people saying why spend £6k on a sub when you can buy a g-shock for £100 ... it’s not the point

Very true. But gosh, that’s crazy money. Very interested to know who bought it. All for charity!
