Amazing auction

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, or if it has been posted earlier, but I enjoyed so much I had to share.

There really are some incredible pieces there. It going to be interesting to see what new benchmark in pricing comes out of this.

Paul Boutros is one of the most knowledgeable and respected collectors.

He also boasts a very impressive collection. His watches are all NOS condition and very, very nice!

That auction is going to be amazing.

Anyone here going?


John.

it's interesting though - i've taken a look through the 488 page catalog and am totally blown away by some of the pieces they're selling. but, they also have some pretty unremarkable items too. watches you could easily find listed on the trf for sale forum.

anyone planning to attend this auction?
