The Gyrotourbillon II is my fave of the series. It is one of my many JLC grail watches.If I had to choose I much more prefer to have the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon Three. HD vid at factory:
That Gruebel Forsey GMT sold for $354k yesterday... unbelievable. Amazing watch, but totally unwearable.

Not sure why they didn't mention in Hodinkee - the Patek pocket watch I photographed went for close to 1.6

Just saw this on TPP. That is some serious watch damage! The owner was quoted a repair bill of $8,700! It really is kind of sad the type of end user service we are provided with these luxury gifts. Maybe I live in fantasy land, but service related woes seem all too common for what people spend on this hobby! This comment is of course not related to this incident entirely, but the industry as a whole.
Panerai watches are awesome. Sure, they make duds like every brand, but on the whole they are fantastic. Haters gone hate, but lets not go overboard with dick comments.
I dont think they are any more over priced than any other luxury watch. Thats is the industry now. Entry level watches that used to be 3k are now 6-8k and up. Its just the reality.
I tjink there are some excellent uses of ceramic, but in some applicatins its just dumb.
