Watch Collectors, by jkesquire on Dec 30, 2021 19:56:36 GMT 1, 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?

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.

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 itβs easier to flex off your wealth with a wristwatch than a print on the wall. (Not saying itβs good to flex, just saying a lot of people (with small penises) have a need to. βEveryoneβ 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.

Watch Collectors, by ant0187 on Feb 26, 2022 15:08:16 GMT 1, 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.

Not sure about this yetβ¦ Swatch in Omega costume. Nice colorways though. Donβt seem to be limited edition, just limited where you can buy them (bit silly), Iβve 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 π€
Cheers

Watch Collectors, by mrizzle on Mar 24, 2022 10:17:00 GMT 1, I have a gig in Edinburgh (where I know there is a Swatch boutique) early next month so Iβm hoping I may be able to pick a couple up when Iβm down (despite having sworn myself off quartz watches years ago). I think this a really intriguing collab. One thing Iβve 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 Iβm assuming the others to be around 41mm case sizes?

I would like one of these I think it looks great. Iβm not a collector I wear a g-shock daily and itβs wrecked. Would be a nice replacement.

Although separate businesses, Omega are owned by Swatch.

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
