Wow! Grieb/Benzinger Vacheron

[Tim]

This is a watch to have. It is beautiful. A Grieb vintage movement customized by Benzinger. A steal at $15,660!

Holy smokes! That's a beauty! I like the "fast" and "slow" adjustment on the movement! Not for those who fear scratching the back of their $15,000 watch by cracking the back with a $20 watch opener

Do you think the rep could ever mimic all the "waves" and different shades of gold/copper in the movement? Amazing!

Nahhh, I'd rather have a quartz!!!! (Sorry)

Incredible stuff and you are right, a steal at that price.

I usually do vintage in the hopes that they will gain value while I fondle them, but do you think a customized watch like that would appreciate?

It's tough to say. These customized pieces will appreciate considerably,...but not in our lifetime. They are works of art and will gain value from a combination of rarity, body of work of the artist, desireability...all the things that determine the going value for fine artwork.

Unless you have a custom piece from the likes of a George Daniels, I'd say immediate significant return isn't in the cards. perhaps a custom piece by a rising star like RG Murphy might be more affordable and pay off in a reasonable amount of time.
