Be sure to read the lot notes... some interesting stuff in there.

The most surprising thing to me, is that you were quoted only a 5% fee. That's mighty low compared to what they normally charge from what I recall.

TattooedGQ · 15 May 2012, 05:36 AM

Dude, that's awesome...good luck with the sale!

Yes, I think they have recently changed their pricing... when I recieved the final paperwork to be signed, the fee structure I was quoted was written in black sharpie on top of the previous fee structure, which had been stricken out, lol.

I would like to think I am special and that they gave me a good deal, but I think they just had not updated their forms yet.

Justjosh · 15 May 2012, 06:05 AM

Good Luck with the sale. It should be a fun one to watch.

DFWUser · 13 June 2012, 11:55 PM

It is too late to register to bid I think, but not too late to sign up for a free account at Christies.com and watch the action live.

The watch in this thread is lot number 235 in today's auction. It will come up in the afternoon session, which starts at 2:00 Pm EST.

Anyway, today is the moment of truth. We shall see what we shall see!

Hammer price: $32,000. Not precisely what I had dreamed of, but still... it's 32 grand I didn't have yesterday! :)
