Nice feature on the costs of vintage watch ownership in The Guardian today. I guess there's not a lot new here for those of us that follow these things, but interesting that it is hitting the mainstream media nonetheless:

Ah the Guardian... late to the party and armed with next to no information. I must remember to buy all my watches from major auction houses from here on. Nonetheless, the author of the piece has my sympathy, she’s clearly getting sucked in to this slippery slope and will be welcomed to the forum soon!

Thanks for the link, it's worth a read.

The auction comment made me roll my eyes - not great advice. Too many horror stories. Trusted dealers and provenance for me is still the most reliable route.

Not an in-depth read by the Guardian but fun nonetheless - thanks for sharing.

Here's a lovely article about what it feels like to be a watch geek in the New Yorker:
