Milus Kama Sutra Butterfly Watch Themed Cufflinks With Rotors
These cufflinks (cuff links? Space, no space?) might make you blush, but they are nice right? To me they combine a few thinks I like. Let's delay the obvious for now and focus on the awesome integration of the automatic rotors in the cufflinks. These are new 18k rose gold men's cufflinks from Milus, a Swiss watch maker who also dabbles in jewelry and accessories. ?? These nice looking men's accessories here are called Kama Sutra Butterfly cufflinks and are made in a casting process to help reproduce the look of a watch movement, which is the point. The cufflinks feature beautiful real rotating rotors (which wind nothing) that attached like normal rotors with a ball bearing mount. The casted gold has perlage polish and the look of a real movement engraved in the design. How cool! I've seen cufflinks similar to this, but none as well done. I imagine price will be up there.Aside from the brand name on the cufflink, you have the red and black motif of a butterfly, which is sorta feminine,

Patek Philippe Reference 130 Mono-Pusher Chronograph In Steel Sells For $5 Million, And Other Such Stories From The First Phillips Geneva Watch Auction
What is there to say? After Aurel Bacs and the Phillips team proved that one of the least-cool watches in the world could indeed be cool on Saturday night with the Day-Date sale, expectations were high but tempered for Sunday night's Geneva Watch Auction: One, a multi-brand, multi-owner sale encompassing everything from modern, still-in-production JLC's to piece-unique vintage Pateks. The entire sale netted $25.2 million (combined with the Day-Date sale, the weekend pulled in over $31m), and four watches hammered over 1m CHF, including a stainless-steel Patek that brought down $5m on its own. Let's break the sale down for you. Stainless-Steel Patek Philippe Mono-Pusher Chronograph Becomes The Most Expensive Steel Ever Sold, And The Third Most Expensive Wristwatch Ever 1 OF 10 A few weeks back, I wrote a story that there were four watches in this sale that could, and should break $1m. As it would happen, four was indeed the number of pieces that broke th

The Premier Waltham
The Premier Maximus 16 size is a carefully finished and adjusted Waltham 23j Vanguard without the movement decoration. Before w.w. 1 came with silver box and 45 day British observatory trial accuracy certificate. Their best rail road watch plus. $400 in 1916. $732 in 1931 did not have cert. and sterling box then.The Premier photos are not mine. The catalog pages are from my 2 rare distributor catalogs. These showed list prices so that retailers could use as customer sales tools to help compete with Sears and Wards. All U.S. watches in these except Gruen who only sold direct for best customer support. Notice $732 for a $500 watch. The retailer got 50%+ discount then according to letter with the book. Recent sale for one over $10,000 and it is merely a refined gold cased $1000 Vanguard with wind indicator, or a $2000 conventional Maximus in gold case. My photo.

WRUW - Tuesday, 24 November 2015
20151124_075750.jpgIn keeping with my quartz theme for the week, I have my Nautica NSR 103. This is one of the few 'designer' watches I own. Nautica watches are made by Timex, but their line is much better than Timex in terms of fit and finish, materials and quality. The rubber strap that came with this watch is actually very comfortable, which is why I haven't yet changed it out.

New ROO - Mr FedEx made a delivery!
So excited, with the new purchase. Watch weighs less than I thought it would, great feel.
