So What Is the Story?
In Response To: 1158 *PIC* ()

Do we know the "back story" of this watch . . . nature of the connection to Ronnie Petterson?

The one to be sold in November (top photo) is a different watch / different execution than the one sold by Sotheby's in May (bottom photo).

We must assume that there is some connection to Ronnie; otherwise, I don't see any premium merely for being sold by the brother of a Formula One hero.

Thanks for posting this one!

Jeff
