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.

Has good fit and finish, a screwed in caseback, sapphire crystal with anti-glare, crocodile strap, accurate quartz movement and relatively unique styling. It's performed flawlessly over the two decades or so that I've owned it.We watch enthusiasts frequently zap Movado. I've done it, too. Now I'm wondering why. It's a very solid brand. Perhaps the only thing I can say is the brand is over-priced. But when I think about the years of dependable service I've gotten from my Movado, I'm not even certain about that.What do you say?

Anyone take delivery of a 5320G yet?
I've got one on order from my local AD, but of course there is no ETA. Curious if anyone else has received theirs yet.
