Good news for those on wait lists at ADs in Toronto. Maybe now their turn will come. Not so good news for ADs.

All of them with bezel protector and probably full set. Investment watches for sure. The auction will be interesting.

One article said only one million in jewelry and watches. Don't think that this bust will alleviate the shortage.

You are correct. The sky-d looks to be the blue dial (inner ring looks lighter blueish). Nonetheless, all waitlist pieces and I'm guessing, all paid by cash.

Whoever was in charge of cleaning the money did a poor job. That is a lot of chips being seized

I saw a picture of two of the Ferrari, one was a 2017 488 gtb blue, and the other was a 458 Speciale that said was valued at $880,000. Wow.
