Geneva auction results! Holy #$*!

http://www.phillips.com/lots/CH080016

The results are in. Rolex (and most every other brand) killed it. The value arrow on vintage is definitely up! (unfortunately for us mortal watch enthusiasts its just going to be harder to afford another piece).

The most realistic market still out there is for the Zodiac SeaWolf vintage divers...

Most are still under $1K! Many came with SS bands, hacking and date features, not to mention Vietnam history...

Ironically, the rarer model is now the "non-date" dials because they made fewer of them!

These are still reasonably affordable even though they are solid 18kt rose gold.
