Talking Watches: With Alfredo Paramico
There is a small handful of vintage watch collectors in this world that can truly be called "market-makers." John Goldberger is one of them. Another is the 45-year-old, tan-skinned, silver-haired gentleman you are about to meet. Alfredo Paramico is a true insider, and has long been considered one of the top watch buyers on the planet. Remember that unique platinum Patek Philippe Bulletin Chronometer that sold for $3,992,858 in November of 2012? You know, the watch that actually beat the Eric Clapton owned platinum 2499 in the same sale? Yes, Alfredo bought that. Remember that one of a kind Patek Nautilus 3700 in platinum that sold for over $800,000? That was his. How about an original Patek Philippe 1518 in steel (only four made), considered one of the most legendary and valuable timepieces on earth (even former Christie's head Aurel Bacs said that is the last great watch he would love to sell) – yes, Paramico has owned one. He paid 2.2 million euro for it. 1

A new band is needed
The original band on my (almost three year old BM) tore at one of the pin holes half way across the strap. Fortunately I had saved the strap from my Seiko diver¡¯s quartz from long ago. I want to replace it with the original stainless steel bracelet. I found it at ¡®watchbands¡¯. It¡¯s the- Seiko 20mm-Stainless Steel-49X8JG and sells for $50.00I saw below the post about ¨COM band and the Watchadoo bracelet looks better than the OEM band. Where do you suggest I purchase it?PS: I just want to apologize to the members for being away for so long. I¡¯m still a watch enthusiast and this Christmas I¡¯m looking forward to adding to my collection. Seiko Black Monster.Vostok ArktikaBernhardt Sea Shark
