All this art stuff is great but to get back on topic guys.
I think the crash is not far away. I just checked, and one crazy UK grey dealer is currently slashing prices in a flash sale. The other stupid UK greys are still raising prices on steel 5711 and 5167 if you can believe that, but when they realise the competition are offering such massive discounts, they are bound to join in the fire sale to liquidate all stock of Patek SS sports models. Some current bargains are: 2019 5711/1a blue “new” now only, £73,020 2016 5711/1a blue in v/good condition price crash £60,110 saving £3,7360 2019 5167/a “new” now only £40370 that’s saving a massive £2,290 2018 5167/a in v/good condition only £33,570 All B&P, grab em quick, at these crazy “low low prices” they won’t be around for long, your welcome everyone. |

I’ve realized getting a RM is perfect for my life style I still love my 12 :) I think I’m a little of all of what u describes. The RM says FU...well I don’t have it yet so no FU watch yet. while the 5712 says I still have taste My p-01 and seiko’s will say WIS Rolex for when I want to fit in... AP for when I’m bored and looking for a layover. |

I wouldn’t ever compare a cloisonné dial to a Leonardo or Picasso or for that matter any great work of art for many many reasons. But don’t forget many artists are extremely formulaic producing the same basic painting over and over and of course historically many of the great artists had schools working on painting after painting reproducing the great artists work - are these formulaic painters and schools not still producing art - no imagination but just a great level of skill! Whilst I hesitate to call it art, Patek, Lange and others have deliberately designed pieces using movements that are aesthetically more pleasing when a better but less pleasing solution exists - for example a lateral clutch chrono is a beauty to behold but certainly less efficient than a vertical clutch - they are produced purely for their visual merit. As they say, art is in the eye of the beholder. |

Oh knoe! My Nauti Pantis are in a bind! I am chilling at work today immensely enjoying my 3712a. Oh there’s a Nautilus that was made only for 1 year that may or may not be impervious to the bubble?! Oh yes :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'll change the topic to another I'm considering.
Buy GE? Anyone see the Company's response to the fraud report? I'm a CPA and it makes sense (Actuarial assumptions, accounting, and cash flow). |

On April 13, 2010, a print of this image made by Weston in year it was taken sold for $1,082,500 at an auction in New York. As of January, 2013, it was the fourteenth most expensive photograph ever sold. Weston originally sold it for $10. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Since this isn’t a watch forum any longer I thought I’d post a picture of a seashell.

I'm distracting myself with AP Offshores while the "bubble" correction situation resolves itself up or down. It will be November/Dec soon and let's see what really happens when it comes time to pull out the Holiday walletz :D

Bold move unless it's Ltd, and even then bold. Or pre owned

Russell, is it weird that of your entire set of photos that you posted, the one I'm most intrigued by is your UN?
I love highly complex astronomical watches. Need to see more of those out there I've been wanting to pick up the trilogy set of that. |

also, certain art forms (like of course photography and fine art printing) generate intrinsically non-unique pieces. i would definitely not refrain from buying a photographic work by andreas gursky with a total issue number of 5 or 10 copies but would be less thrilled by the 100th reissue of a picasso printwork. btw, i have a cloisonné WT on order and have nothing seriously to hold against them - maybe except that most of them are pretty useless when you want to read the time or time zone. but as ninja said we have the iPhone anyway:::))). also, i think this discussion has a lot to do with watches. it helps me to understand the way people see the PP WT painted versions. |

It's why I want the trilogy box set. Been on my "buy list" for a while, it just keeps keeping trumped by others of higher priority. :( I might have to finally pull the trigger. Seeing yours reminds me of why I love those three from UN (even if they aren't in-house movements). |

The only way to truly know the market price is to see if a grey will offer a price and if yes what that price would be.
I know of a 40th anniversary 5711P that was sold to a grey last month for GBP 190k and he thought he got a bargain !!!! ���� |

That is an awesome watch, I've seen a few pics of it on here, and I'm very jealous And at 190 they might have thought they have grabbed a bargain, as on Chrono they are going for 300 up |

I've seen most of those listed on Chrono24 for ages and ages with no movement. |
