BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends December 5, 2014
With so many new collectors coming into the market, watch auctions are a big business now. Philips recently announced a new watch department headed by Aurel Bacs, who was until very recently the International Head of Watches for Christies. However, the world of watch auctions is not all as it may seem. Yes, it may be exciting and glamorous, but there are also many potential pitfalls. We kickstart this month¡¯s roundup by highlighting some facts about watch auctions that you ought to know.And since Christmas is just around the corner, there are also no shortage of new watch reviews too. We begin with Patek Philippe¡¯s exquisite Reference 5270 perpetual calendar chronograph watch, which is one of my favorite watches from the storied brand. We also take a look at Panerai¡¯s new 1940 3 Days Automatic, which boasts of the company¡¯s first micro-rotor automatic movement; and also Tudor¡¯s Heritage Ranger, which I hear is something of a best seller at dealers worldwide.To finish off, we take a clo

seiko orange monster
Can someone please help me, and tell me if I'm off my rocker or not. I was doing some seiko shopping and came across multiple orange faced models. I came across one labeled as "orange monster" and it said 47mm case, the rest of the seiko orange monster's I find are 42, which one is it?

Unexpected Incoming!

AD Visit - Patek Annual Calendars
Dropped by the AD today to check out some PP Annual Calendar watches, probably my second favorite complication as I love the moonphase and practicality of the complication (my favorite complication is the minute repeater, which is on a whole different level). Both the 5205G and 5396 are truly stunning, although having just picked up the 5167R I wasn't about to walk out with another one today It's the first time I've had the chance to see the 5205G grey dial in person, which had always been my favorite version, and it didn't disappoint. I love the case lug design, but as I have been shifting towards thinner watches, the 5205 sat a bit higher than I had expected, although it will still fit easily under a shirt cuff.The 5396 with its classic calatrava design makes it more dressy, and the case is also thinner than the 5205. I'd happily take either one home, but not today. However, I didn't leave the AD empty handed, as the AD was kind enough to give me a copy of the Patek 175th Anniver
