More than a few blogs picked up on that one. The pre-sale estimate was $25,000-$45,000. Antiquorum was a little off on this estimate Tissot Replica watches too, in a good way. It sold for $91,200.We also talked about some watches owned by some American icons. The watches here included a Movado owned by FDR, a Gruen owned by Frank Sinatra, and a Cartier owned by Sammy David jr. FDR's watch passed, Sinatra's went for $6,000, and Sammy's went for $12,600. Not too bad.Then there is Steve McQueen, a man whose Tissot Replica watches have become the subject of countless articles, forum posts, and discussions. We told you his original Monaco and Submariner would be sold in this auction, and boy did they ever sell. The Monaco set a record for the model at $87,500...just a little bit higher than the $10,000-$20,000 estimate.
Prior to last week's Antiquorum auction, we had been featuring some of our favorite lots here on Hodinkee. Today we thought we'd take a look at the ones we called attention to and how much they ended up selling for. Let's take a look.We called this JLC World Timer With Reserve de Marche in Platinum a Partner's Watch at an Associate's Price, with a pre-sale estimate of $4000-$6000. While we think the final selling price is more than fair, it was unfortunately out of the first year associates budget. It sold for $11,4000.We called the very strange Omega Time Computer III possibly the nerdiest watch Omega ever made. Antiquorum had the estimates at $800-$1300. Turns out the market for vintage digital watch withes gold plated cases and stretchy bracelets isn't as strong as expected; it sold for $600.The very cool and very rare Rolex Double Red Sea Dweller retailed and signed by Cartier is a Tissot Replica watches that received a lot of attention when we featured it.
