I just saw that a Hubler watch given to Hitler sold at auction for $1.1 million. It is an interesting watch (despicable as the recipient of said watch was), but it got me thinking about a larger question: does anyone here collect watches owned by the famous (or infamous)?

I don’t typically fancy ones with such provenance but have considered going independent from the traditional Swiss makers…thinking of adding a Greubel Forsey.

Greubel Forsey are fantastic. I’ve been able to check out a few that some friends own and they’re seriously grail-tier. Best finishing I’ve seen in the metal outside of super low production shops like RWS/PD.

Brand new to the bowl. Looking at getting my fiancé his first nicer watch as wedding gift when we get married next year. I’m trying to stick around $7k, but would go to $10k. Is it worth getting him something now or wait until I’m willing to spend more? I know absolutely nothing about watches. Recommendations?

Tangentially watch related but does anyone use a document safe at home to keep documents and watches when they won’t be worn for a while? I usually leave mine on winders in my closet but if I know I won’t be wearing some for a time (or if the cleaners are coming) it’d be nice to be able to lock them away.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

Went to look for my first Omega, think I’m getting a Grand Seiko “Winter” instead.
