Some really nice watches!! looks like the recession is over in the EU. Wonder how many will be bought with "diverted" bailout" money?

Something for you... something for my crews.

"Pictured above is a 1957 “Tropical Dial” GMT-Master, property of the original owner, estimated at $27,000 – $38,000. It comes with the pilot’s Pan Am cap, briefcase, lighter, ashtray and flight instruction manual."

I happen to have a 'Tropical Dial" GMT-Master, I am the original owner-builder, and I can include an old rucksack, somewhat crusty beret, my old Zippo, an ashtray from Caesar's Palace, and an M16A1 manual for $3800...

You think the people around you know more about your watches than you do?

Only when the dial is printed with this order - Rolex-Cosmograph-Oyster (most have Oyster before Cosmograph, known as ROC Newmans).
