Today's Geneva auction...
An auction was held in Geneva today with 27 lots to be sold. The results are sometime encouraging, sometime deceiving. The small deception is the Duometre à Chronographe in Yellow Gold. Prudently estimated 20 000 to 30 000 CHF, it only made 20 625 CHF, wh...
Nice outcome of the auction
But I am sorry you missed the Polaris II, my friend. If one of us, I hope to see it here in the forum soon. Best Blomman
It is just a matter of time, my friend. I want all the 3 Polaris II...
So, I still miss the Blue and the Red. Greediness is a feeling we share. All the best, my good friend. Nicolas.
Thanks for the good reporting, Nicolas
I was most surprised by the Chocolate Reverso, which I would have expected to do even better than it did. I continue to be surprised by the Duometre, which, as you said, is a great piece, and yet it has not held its value all that well as reflected in thi...
Well, there is a sense in these auctions.
Hi Respo, I'm more and more often having an eye not only on the Collectors Markets, but also on the auctions. The auctions don't reflect the whole truth of the value of a piece, but it is a good indication, I think. Collectors and dealers, who are attehdi...
A reflection of the current times
perhaps ..... In general the prices look weak. Must be said there were some great watches offered. Congrats to the new owners, and thanks for sharing !
It depends. I also had an eye on the Vintage Rolex, during this auction.
So so Rolexes received a so so welcome. There is always a place for exceptional watches, even when it is a crisis time. what is also interesting is that, this year, you don't often see very interesting watches for sale, and I really wonder why. Are there ...
Thanks Nico..
For the summary of the antiquorum auction. So sorry you couldn't win the red Polaris. I wish you luck in your quest for it. Best to you friend. Ed
Easy to understand, but still very strange to see those beautiful pieces hammered that bad
I am sorry you did not get your Red Polaris! Many thanks for preparing and sharing this report.
A pity, indeed. Will follow the further auctions, to see if we have a confirmation
Or not. As for the Pola II, no problem, my time will come. You know me, I'm patient like a snake. Best, Nicolas.
Nicolas, you weren't the only one to walk away empty handed
I had an absentee bid in on the pocket watch that was a solid bid based on the estimate, but wasn't even in the game based on the final price realized. Good luck with your hunt.
We will find something for our hands, Mark. It is just a question of time.
There are several auctions to come, bad luck cannot always be on our side! All the best, my friend. Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-11-14 05:34:03
You'd better have an eye on these auctions, my friend.
There are some good deals, often. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
