Was visiting Wako earlier today and I had a chance to get hands-on with this:

Yea, that is correct. I'm certain prices vary for each piece depending on its details, but I rarely see definitive pricing information on Rare Handcraft pocket watches listed so it was interesting to note. Honestly, I would have guessed a higher price and I am always surprised that items from the RH

From photos, and seeing it from a distance at the exhibition, I had found it a bit difficult to distinguish the details of the tree and the leaves. With a closer look, the light does give more three dimensionality to the image and the details really come into view. My close-up photo does a better jo

I stopped by my AD this weekend and saw a very surprising item in the display case! A very lucky collector (not me!) managed to get the allocation for the 995/135G "Eagle" - King of the sky pocket watch from the Tokyo Grand Exhibition in 2023.

I am not surprised at all about the 5330G launching this year at W&W. After all, the Tokyo edition was the 5330G-010 so it seemed obvious that a -001 was already in the pipeline for the standard catalog. I do wonder whether or not we will eventually see an enamel 5331 as I think the less complic

I can understand why they are changing how they communicate about water resistance given their updated guarantees, however I imagine there will be quite a bit of confusion in the process. That being said, I don't expect there will be any Aquanauts or Nautiluses sitting unsold at ADs due to customers

It looks great! One of the fun things with the 5212A is how great it looks with different straps, definitely consider adding some additional colored ones in the future.
