whether I should congratulate you as it's a truly unique pieces. Having said that, I do understand your rationale and applaud your desire to pass it onto someone who would hopefully treasure this piece as much as you did.

But she is gone anyway. Hope the new owner loves her as much as I have done during the last 24 years!

I planned to keep it as a family treasure and pass to my son after I die. But nowadays, most young people do not like watches, some even don't wear watches. That's is why I decide to let her go in case when the day come, my son treats it like a trash. And...
No it does not

I expect more but I can accept! As a matter of fact, RD is not a Class A brand as PP and Rolex. Although this watch only produced one piece and compare to a only one piece of the Rolex Daytona which is sold for 25 million HKD in the same auction, this uni...

I see written at the bottom 'départ Gama' or "the departure of Vasco da Gama". Cool piece and story
Do you have more photos ?

Personally I think the price is fair and on the high side already. I suppose that price does not include buyer’s premium yet. There is no doubt about the highly finished quality of the watch, just that the artwork on the dial is subjective in terms of per...
