Congratulations: you have made it to yet another Friday. By way of proffered back-pats, how about a Bring a Loupe instead?
A bit of a scorecard for my first two weeks at BAL: Last week’s Zenith S58 remains available (and now listed as “Hodinkee Featured” in the tile), as does the burl wood Datejust, though the Waltham 100 sold (presumably for near its $200 asking price), and the Tudor 4453 sold for 480£ (not including the 23% premium). Interestingly, someone believed last week’s Buyer Beware Constellation was a hidden gem; it sold on eBay for $2476. Buyer, whoever you are: be in touch when you get the watch (if you want). From the watches in the prior week’s “Bring a Loupe”, the Seaboard Yacht went for a pretty impressive $6,000 (not including the 25% premium), and the EZM1 for £3,200, including the premium. I don’t know how to feel about these results, truth be told, but you’re not here for my blather about what I see as market trends. You’re here for interesting watches. Onward, friend.
