Patek Philippe Ellipse 3546 yellow gold/or jaune cadran gold dial

Historical Perspectives: Something To Consider: The Watch On The Left Costs (Approximately) 100 Time
The watch on the right is a Universal Geneve Tri-Compax in stainless steel. It belonged to a man named Reginald Fullerton, who was the grandson of the great early 20th century watch collector (and commissioner of the most expensive watch in history) Henry Graves, Jr. It was sold at the final Graves auction that took place in June of 2012 at Sotheby's.? I purchased it at that sale for around $2,750, and you can read why I did that right here.?The watch dates to about 1945 (Fullerton purchased it new from the Henri Stern Watch Agency in 1948 while visiting with his grandfather) and features a triple calendar, plus moonphase, and chronograph, in a steel case.?The watch on the left looks a heck of a lot like my Universal Geneve, and was even sold alongside my watch at the HSWA in the 1940s, but it's worth about 100 times as much.?

First Time watch / Omega buyer - Advice
Just bought my first real watch and my first Omega! I admittedly own a couple of Movados and guess watches - but recently started studying and really enjoying horology. So I picked up the Aqua Terra 38.5mm black dial. I wanted a versatile watch that I can wear with pretty much anything while I save up for a sport. I did have a couple of concerns I wanted to run past the forum to ensure I made a good choice. 1. It is the discontinued 231.10.39.21.01.001 model.

I know Omega currently sells model 231.10.39.21.01.002.2. I purchased it from grey market dealer. For my first watch, I don't want it to be a bad experience and I usually like the latest and greatest of whatever it is I invest in. The watch is awesome and the grey market price was ridiculously good. Do you think the points above are too much of a compromise. I love the watch, h

While waiting for my LVC....
I pulled the trigger on this to ease the depths of anticipation. I¡¯ve had my eye on the 1499 for about a year. The white dial just got me! Still eagerly awaiting my new green friend.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
