Today was the first day of the Rolex Auction preview at the Antiquorum. I was told last week several times that the doors would be open at 11:00 AM, but when I got there the gentleman at the door said that I was given the wrong information, and told me to come back at 2:00 PM.

Since Tourneau is a block away from the building I decided to have fun and visit Tourneau. I had a great time looking at all those beauty and after one and half hour at the store I walked away with an International Watch magazine for free.

After I had lunch I went back to the Antiquorum and this time the doors were opened for the public. So, enjoy the pics, lots of pics!

WOOOWW!!! What breathtaking pictures!!

Seems like its gonna be one exciting auction! There are some super rare vintage timepieces that are going to be up for bid.

There was an Explorer II white "Tiffany and Co." dial with patina hour markers in the pictures and when I saw that I was so blown away. I don't want to participate in the auction but if I could just see all those watches in person, I would be a happy man. Hopefully all those watches will find really good homes.

You are all welcome guys! I asked several people there if they were a member of the TRF, hoping to meet and chat about Rolex but, I guess I was the only one there. If you want to see the value of the watches above take a look at the virtual catalog here:
