5205. Just ask Newcomer, it’s pretty much the t*ts.

A master class in showing someone you are UMC and living in Manhattan without telling them.

You've got to tell me what UMC stands for 😅

Thank you. Never seen one with red hands. Looks stunning and probably the contrast works well for aging eyes. Any idea of this particular watch?

Tweed jacket and Cashmerello shirt with the thee slot looks meh

Tweed jacket and Cashmerello shirt with the six slot also looks meh.

I need a four slot!

Congrats! How do you like it? I adore mine but haven't worn it in a while. Maybe tonight!

Some interesting pieces listed here:

INDEPENDENTS - Auction

We are going to dedicate our May auction solely to independent watchmakers and small creative brands, and, moreover, mainly to unique pieces and extremely rare watches.

I don't really get auction price guides, always clearly way, way off.

Don't understand auctions in general though. After the buyer's premium, they are always significantly more expensive than buying through a reputable used dealer or privately via forums/moda.

auction price guides ? just look at the results . hammer prices are a fairly accurate barometer of moment-in-time interest and value imho ...

as for the *expense* , again , auctions are something of a stress-test for value .

Yeah for sure, I just mean that the "guides" they publish before are really stupid/pointless.

It's a fantastic watch, I couldn't be happier. I have thin (16.5cm) wrists so the slim profile of the watch certainly helps. I paid resell as I didn't have the patience to play games with an AD.

But the premium I paid will balance out since I'm looking to add a 5204p next to my collection next which goes well below. Do you have any grand complications as part of your collection?

agree , otoh they have to generate some kind of valuation for the folks consigning those materials .

story time : i once sent an odd jacket owned and worn by steph curry to a giant sports auction house ,

now this was after the dubs won that first chip but before the space-n-pace concept had completely transformed the nba .

lol to remember how i foisted that lot on the auction , they were desperate for curry / w's merch so i waggled it at them ... but didn't have any clue how to value the jacket it's just gotta go to market and see . but yeah i cannot remember the *auction estimate* they posted , it's as funny when they lowball the lot and it skyrockets .

Please. Elaborate.

Sometimes the wrist is too large for the links to be held together by mere pins

Must just be the lighting. Seems to be the black dial rose gold version. Or perhaps the recent green dial. No red handed Patek for the hour and minutes to my knowledge for the model.

Jesus, I’ve been pegging the wrong way all along.

UMC is a euphemism for BOHICA.
