It was fun. I left while the auction was still ongoing.
His Serene Highness gave a nice opening announcement. Luc, the founder of Only Watch, is always a wonderful fella to talk to. I spoke with him a little more at Dubai Watch Week later that month in November 2021. You have a lot of very important people in the room. In front of me sat very gracious children from one of the most powerful and wealthiest families in the world whom were very polite and well behaved - they're in their 20s, have seen much of the world and were very pleasant. To my right, there was a large entourage of very loud and obnoxious individuals whom were bidding heavily. It was an exciting year, as 2021 was a year that gave surprisingly high auction results. A lot of energy due to the amazing amounts some people were bidding.
Anyone ever buy an OnlyWatch?
I'd love to try attending the auction in person and bidding on something in the future!
Yeah was just looking at 17, 19, and 21.
Perhaps things cool down a little this year but I'm not getting my hopes up.
With these auctions, it’s not really possible to get a „bargain“ (at least compared to general prices at time of auctioning). There will most likely always be someone willing to spend more than you do.
I suppose everyone's definition of "bargain" is different.
I was bidding in 2021, that year, things were crazy. But buy the watch because you really like it - not to own a one-of-a-kind...

Hard to say...
Interesting!
Well. I highly recommend the Dubai Watch Week.
