In-Depth: Twelve Of The Greatest Missing Watches, Including Paul Newman's Paul Newman, John Lenn
The intersection of politics and popular culture with wristwatches is undeniably fascinating. I mean, that's basically why I have a job. Equally fascinating is the pursuit of these timepieces at the center of this interesection by watch collectors, dealers, and auction houses. There are a handful of documented important wrist and pocket watches out there that the world at large is still looking for. What I mean by that is they have not been publicly sold or located, like say Eric Clapton's platinum 2499, Gandhi's Zenith pocket watch, or Steve McQueen's 5512 Submariner (we won't get into his seemingly never ending supply of Monacos), though we know they exist via a blurry old 35mm photograph, or word of mouth. This is a short list of twelve watches that we know to exist, have serious interest in, but have seemingly gone missing.

In THIS THREAD on automatic watches jimH made a point which is important enough that I think it deserves a separate thread:

New AP owner. Joined the Club :)
Been a long time owner of Rolex watches and just finally took the plunge and purchased my first AP. I went with the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. I'm very happy with it so far! It's comfortable and looks amazing on my wrist. Just a quick thank you to this forum which has provided tons of information and advice. I'm looking forward to contributing on my experience.

Dial color: 5711 vs 5712
I was able to try on a ss 5712 at my AD today, and was a bit surprised by the dial color. To me, it looked more like slate grey than the blue I had remembered from trying on a 5711 some time back. On patek's website, both the 5711 and 5712 are listed as black-blue dials, but is it possible they are different? Maybe just the dial layout make the shades appear different? Maybe the lighting in the shop (I've never tried on a 5711 and 5712 in the same location)?
