What's hot right now?

I begin the discussion with the observation that good blue Monacos (or black PVD) and automatic GMTs seem to have "broken out" of their previous price ranges. Standard Monaco 1133B . . . around $12,000, in near mint condition. Automatic Autavia GMT, 1163 or 11630 . . . above $3,000, for nice ones. These are not "through the roof" jumps, but strong, steady moves from previous levels.

: All:

: Here's another topic that we keep coming back to: Am I correct that
: current prices, at least for the good pieces, have made another
: move and are through the roof again?

: As a collector, how do you feel about this? Have you seen this
: same move, over the past few months? Are you tempted to sell
: some "untouchable" pieces? Are you concerned that if
: you sell a particular piece, you will never have the chance to
: own another of this model? Who can we blame for this? Arno? The
: Rolex collectors, looking for the fun, inexpensive watches? Is
: this good news / bad news / no news? How is Heuer comparing
: with other vintage watches, in the current market? Are there
: Heuers that remain sleepers, but are poised for the next move?
: Any other thoughts to share? This discussion is triggered by a
: couple of messages, from respected dealers, telling me that
: there is strong demand, and that they can "name their
: prices" for the Heuers. There is unprecedented
: "demand"; they simply cannot find the
: "supply", at least for the best pieces.

: Maybe we have this discussion once per year, no matter what the
: market is doing!!
