Question for the watch and art collectors here.....

Would you trade either a Patek 5712 steel, or an AP 15202st royal oak jumbo in exchange for a strong image, signed banksy? Why or why not?

I’d keep the Banksy

That's a hard one.

Really hard, two very good choices in terms of investments, both have plenty of room to grow as would a signed Banksy.

They discontinued my Seiko 007… devastating.

I would not.
The marked for high end watches are much bigger than the marked for Banksy.
Both markets have seen bubble tendencies, but remember it’s easier to flex off your wealth with a wristwatch than a print on the wall. (Not saying it’s good to flex, just saying a lot of people (with small penises) have a need to.
“Everyone” know a Patek/AP is a very expensive item. Not everyone knows a bad drawn stencil is worth a lot of money.

I've never heard of a Patek. If something is in the style of a Patek, do they call it Patekic??

What a collection! The Tudor in the bottom row (3rd from left) being upside down is triggering my OCD however.

Todays watch, great manual winder for the price.

I'm looking at buying a watch from chrono24, has anyone had any experience with the platform? As it's a marketplace I'm concerned with Authenticity, they give 14days to raise any concerns and will refund, but I'm not sure if I'd spot a very good counterfeit.

Yes, I bought and sold on C24.
Once you have the watch, go to an approved retailer of the brand and have it checked.
Generally, C24 is a great platform for both buyers and sellers.

Great, thank you. That seems like a good approach, I'll do that. Thanks again.

Got teased by my AD yesterday. Had a watch... but it was for my wife, and one size too small. Bummer.

[Spenie]

New purchase, quality and finish is amazing.

[poofly]

Sold some old watches from my Grandad, bought myself a Bell & Ross BR05 Horolum.

I love the sandblasted finish and the simple dial. Very happy.

Not sure about this yet… Swatch in Omega costume. Nice colorways though. Don’t seem to be limited edition, just limited where you can buy them (bit silly), I’ve got Omega local but not swatch. Might pick one up in London in may.

I think there would be people chasing the whole set. A really good move by both companies!

I like the Mercury and the earth versions and would love to get one of either, but I'm over 250 miles away from the nearest store...might flip them an email to see if they'll be nice and send me one 🤔

Cheers

I have a gig in Edinburgh (where I know there is a Swatch boutique) early next month so I’m hoping I may be able to pick a couple up when I’m down (despite having sworn myself off quartz watches years ago). I think this a really intriguing collab. One thing I’ve not seen anywhere yet though, has anyone found out the case size or lug to lug measurements? I know that the mission to Venus one is 38mm so I’m assuming the others to be around 41mm case sizes?

[Sleeman]

May be a queue I reckon

from what I can see if you go to the more info section on the swatch page it says the rest are 42mm. I would like one of these I think it looks great. I’m not a collector I wear a g-shock daily and it’s wrecked. Would be a nice replacement.

Although separate businesses, Omega are owned by Swatch.

Superb watches by the looks. Been advised direct from Swatch that as they arent limited, they will be available online at some stage.. 

They did this with the Art Watches when originally released.. built the hype, and now sell them online

www.swatch.com/en-gb/swatch-x-centre-pompidou.html

www.swatch.com/en-gb/swatch-art.html

So one to possibly pick up at a later date when the rush has happened

Saying that..if anyone is in London and can pick me some up on Saturday then please send me a message and I can return the favour
