Yes, there's a certain cachet when buying from a high-end auction house, but I think it's mostly hype and you still need to be very careful. I've seen watch auctions over the years from the big three _ Christies, Sothebys, Phillips _ that have glaring mistakes and/or omissions in the descriptions.

And I'm sure some of us remember this debacle:
