Elvis Presley’s Omega Fetches King’s Ransom at Antiquorum Auction
“Thank you, thank you very much!”That’s what the folks at Antiquorum Auctioneers might be saying today to the private collector who acquired the showcase piece at this week’s auction in New York, an Omega Constellation once owned by the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley. The watch sold for an astounding $52,500, five times its pre-sale estimate and a world record for that reference.Elvis’s Omega, a rare, black-dialed Constellation Calendar produced around 1960, was the most high-profile of 269 timepieces on the block at Antiquorum’s “Important Vintage and Modern Timepieces” auction, held at its Manhattan headquarters on June 12. The watch has an automatic chronometer movement with center seconds and date and a steel case with rose-gold plating. Antiquorum put the pre-sale estimate at $10,000 to $20,000, but bids for the coveted piece of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia quickly escalated to a final hammer price of $52,5

Caught a nasty bug!!!
Been drooling over ALS 1815 chronograph blk dial just released in June. See link below from HODINKEE. What a stunning piece with probably the best movement ever made, dial to die for and the openwork back case literally made me fall off my chair. Earlier this year, I acquired 15400ST + 26400IO and thinking to let 1 go...very very tough decision as I love both. Also thinking to release 2 Pams (which I've worn only 5x) to own this holy grail. What do you think?https://.hodinkee/articles/a-...ith-black-dial

Good news/Bad news
Bad news.. Wife has ruled in favor of selling the Sub LV-C and the IWC ASAP.....Good news, during a weekend trip to NYC this past weekend. My wife did allow window shopping in Cellini at the Waldorf to turn into the purchase of an incredibly beautiful and iconic RO 15400 with the silver dial.As my Birthday approached I was thinking about a rest of my lifetime watch This one checks all the boxes in terms of design, build quality and horological tradition. To say I love it is as understated as the watch itself.I know, you want pictures... Have not had time to attempt to upload them. Soon.....

Casual stroll through Heathrow, London....
I read on this forum a few months ago that a member just walked into watches of Switzerland in Heathrow and managed to get a Submariner black ceramic steel. This incident just never happens at the airport with a tax free price.I have called up previously on the day of the flight to see if the watch is there, and i have always been told that the stainless steel is hard to come by.So i rock up at heathrow yeaterday afternoon, just about to get a late lunch in the bar a few shops down from WOS. I thought to myself don't bother even asking the salemen as its impossible they'll have one. Then an urge came over me to just walk in and enquire. Asked the nice man 'bit of a silly question...' and before i could even finish the sentence, they guy said 'your going to ask if we have the submariner..... we just got one of each date/non date in 10 minutes ago'. 20 minutes later i walked out with a shiney brand new Sub date, ¡ê1k cheaper than the RRP!!! So chuffed!
