No less than three or 4 instances, I used to be requested how a lot? for the classic Rolex Explorer I wore across the Unique Miami Seaside Vintage Present all weekend. No hi there, the way you doing, or pretense of any variety, simply straight to enterprise.
I gave the usual chuckle that communicates some perverse model of flattery earlier than responding not on the market, however on the Miami Seaside Conference Middle on this weekend, every thing’s acquired a value, and the surest technique to drive yours up is to say these three magic phrases.
However not like most attendees final weekend, I wasn’t there to make a couple of bucks shopping for or promoting watches. I used to be merely there to soak up the sights (i.e., numerous watches and much more jewellery), the sounds of sellers shouting numbers backwards and forwards, and host a panel that includes a couple of mates. On Saturday afternoon, I moderated a dialogue that includes Geoff Hess, Sotheby’s Head of Watches for the Americas, Sacha Davidoff of Genevan seller Davidoff Brothers, and Charlie Dunne of Wind Classic.
