Wasn't sure where to post this but Christie's is having a huge watch auction May 11th in Geneva.

There are a ton of very rare watches Rolex's, Patek's and numerous other manufacturers. The e-catalogue details them all. Thought people would want to check it out. Some of the watches up for sale are just unbelievable

They represent different currencies

SFR = Swiss Franc

US = United States Dollars

that old milgauss is the sniznitt!

jm433 · 7 May 2009, 07:49 AM

I'd be tempted to lob a bid in on one of the lower priced items, but that VAT and buyer's premium are killer.

I wonder why they don't charge the seller rather than the buyer, but maybe they do that too!

Talk about a candy store!

Christes auctions are usually very exciting. The results yielded from this auction is something to keep an eye on.

IMO I believe you will see STRONG results............ Hopefully I can win something
