This week's Hodinkee's What's Selling Where column brings a diverse array of timepieces, from a limited edition Tudor Black Bay Pink for Inter Miami to a Jaeger 4ATM chronograph, a Longines Ultra-Chron Jumbo, and a pair of Tudor Rangers. The column also highlights a rare Omega Cosmic with a redial and an Omega with no lume, serving as a cautionary tale for buyers.
The Tudor Black Bay Pink for Inter Miami is a limited edition watch, one of 50 made for David Beckham and Inter Miami players. It's a pre-39 Black Bay Chrono, substantial at 41mm wide and 14.4mm thick, with a pink dial and a Jubilee-style bracelet. The watch is in fantastic shape, with very little wear, and comes with its box and papers. The Inter Miami connection is a significant draw, connecting the wearer to Beckham and Messi, and it's being auctioned next week with an estimate of $10,000-20,000.
The Jaeger 4ATM Ref. 13001 is a grail-level watch for some collectors. It's a 1960s sport chronograph with a 40mm stainless steel case and a panda dial. The watch is in fine shape, with a bidirectional rotating bezel and a Valjoux 72 movement. However, it's signed only 'Jaeger' on the dial, and the movement is unsigned, which is unusual. The watch is being sold in an auction with an estimate of €4,000-6,000.
The Longines Ultra-Chron Ref. 7951-1 is a high-frequency watch from 1967, powered by the cal. 431 movement. It's a jumbo at 37mm, with a gray dial and an unpolished case. The watch is in excellent condition, with a clean dial, aged lume, and an unpolished case. The estimate for this watch is £150-250, making it a steal at that price.
The column also highlights a pair of Tudor Rangers 9050/0s, one from Bazamu and the other from Goldfinger's Vintage. Both watches are in excellent condition, with unpolished cases, aged lume, and period-correct bracelets. The Bazamu example is being sold for $12,500 or best offer, while the Goldfinger's example is priced at $11,995.
Finally, the column includes a warning about an Omega Cosmic with a redial and an Omega with no lume, serving as a reminder to buyers to be cautious when purchasing vintage watches.
