The Honus Wagner of watches sold today.
Anyone here collect vintage watches? I would love to if I had a little more in the bank. Vintage watches are crazy hot right now and would be a fun hobby.
The "Honus Wagner" of watches sold today for $17.8 million. Apparently in the early 90s you could get a Paul Newman Daytona model for only around $300...now these models go for a ton and will rise as a result of this sale.

Here is my Rolex watch- a 1980's 18K Oyster Perpetual. So let's start the bidding at say...$4 million. Heck, I'm not greedy.

My daily watch for the last 26 yrs. I bought it when it was around 8 yrs old. It is still worth a little more than I paid for it. To me, that is practical. This pic is taken from the interweb, mine isn't quite as clean (needs to be cleaned) but looks the same.

The market for Rolex watches is all over the place. You see some for $1500 and other ones selling for tens of thousands, and they don't really look that much different.

When I became interested in watches I did a fair amount of reading on Watchuseek which is the Net 54 equivalent just to get a basic education. One thing that was clear is that many watch collectors have extreme OCD-ish tendencies.

I quit wearing watches when first pagers, then cell phones, then smart phones became available. My carcass will have no jewelry whatsoever on it.
However, I feel the need to have a digital clock that can be read from across every room at home. Hey, but that's just me.  .

Here are a few of my personal favorites. The stainless/white gold watch is my daily wearer and the vintages (20s or 30s--I'll have to look at the serial number again to confirm) is for more casual days. I love watches as most of my purchases were connected with special occasions--the Tag with high school graduation, a Movado for law school graduation, the stainless/white gold to celebrate my first decent bonus, and the vintage watch for my wedding.

Here are a couple of my mechanical watches which have neither the brand (snob) appeal nor the price tag of a Rolex etc.

Great watches Peter. I particularly like the look of the black one.
