....I like finding watches that others miss.
I was browsing auctions the other day and told my wife about the Daniels I wasn't going for and the Roger Smith I was willing to take a pass on.
"That's ok" she said "if you find one with a lapis dial you can buy it".
......and this was the very next one I took a look at!
Now it won't be a bargain, and I already have a 3227 in yellow gold with a traditional dial so I should probably keep my powder dry.
..... but if you all sleep in tomorrow, maybe I will get it!

All the auction houses get caught so frequently but unfortunately they are also the ones with the super rare pieces

"If looks and technical prowess boost the attractiveness of the piece, its rarity propels it above any other representative of the model. Lapis lazuli is a material hardly ever used by Breguet, which as mentioned before relies usually on engine-turning fo...

I must've missed this! It's a beautiful piece! Our poster, M2, has great taste in watches!
Well, question to you...

Where do you see that Phillips "claim it's a unique piece." Where does it state that? I couldn't find it. And you're making this claim and your post is about verifying this supposed claim that Phillips made. We've all got to be careful that we don't sland...
Thx
