Independents

That is some achievement. I thought the reserve was a bit on the high side compared to some of the other pieces like the backpage and schaffo which ultimately did sell for more. But there is always no harm trying and I had a ceiling anyway before I would ... 

Thus I didn’t even try! Anyway again huge congrats! Now, guess who got the Grand Dame? And another one is Santa Claus...to be honest I feel I overpaid a bit for this one, but fine!

I would have bidded up to 11k The Santa? Wow, when I first saw it I was asking myself who would buy it as it might only be worn once a year. But hey, you have a watch with an eye catching dial!! Well done!!!

Hope to see your wrist shots soon!

only towards the end of January so we have to wait a little while. Will you be getting a leather strap for your Grand Dame? I had already spoken to MG and they were going to send me one. But then, I bought another watch!!

What a wait... Btw, can you DM me with your contact in MG? And you meant the watch doesn’t come with a strap or you talked about extra strap?

I was traveling in past few weeks thus couldn’t pay. I mailed Christies’ postsales department and told them I’m going to wire the funds around Dec 25. Today when I’m trying, I found there is nothing in my “ready for checkout” session. I mailed them but th... 

I called Christie's on the 11 December immediately after the auction to ask them when was the last day I could pay for the watch. They replied 9 January 2019 so I told them I would be calling on this day to pay by credit card. They said they would make a ... 

Crossing my fingers!!

Unnecessary stress I realise but most importantly, I hope it all ends well!

I’m sorry for being late in realizing you finally won the auction. I so happy for you that it was you who landed it. It’s an absolutely stunning watch (and perfect) They will fit right in with your wonderful collection.

It was a nail biting experience but well worth it. Probably my first and last ever auction as I tend to focus on new watches and I had not realised that new watches would be auctioned too! As I was telling a fellow purist yesterday, I am almost there with... 

Looking forward to getting it soon! Congrats to everyone else!

Well done! The watch is a lovely size and terribly elegant. It is so good to see that we have established that at least five of the watches have gone to purists!!!
