Genius 281 Posted June 12, 2014 Ok so I may have a watch addiction and probably the same can be said about most of the people who frequent this forum, but I saw something in the news today that at least helps me to think that the amount I spend on watches may not be that bad in the grand scheme of things http://descrier.co.uk/business/1923-patek-philippe-chronograph-watch-sold-1-8-million-auction/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=1923-patek-philippe-chronograph-watch-sold-1-8-million-auction Yes if I had the money laying around I may have been interested in a bid on this but would never have won the auction! Now I can keep remembering this news story when I think I have spent too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kcore 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Is that the infamous John Lennon watch? Don't think so. The Lennon PP was a 2499 Moonphase +1 Sorry, my post should read the Lennon PP was a "2499 Triple Date Moonphase." If the PP that sold at auction is the same as pictured in the article, it wasn't a Triple Date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hornet 1 Posted June 14, 2014 I didn't think I spent too much on watches until I was putting a low bid in on the 1923 Patek, thought I'd chance my arm at £180.00, but slipped and put £1.80M..... .....I'm on the Wonga website right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
