Thanks to everyone who was part of the NYC GTG and Christie's NYC auction, Tuesday and Wednesday.

I’ve spent 18 years in this crazy watch collecting hobby, and the time together with members of the community -- between the GTG Tuesday evening and the hammer falling on Lot 239 Wednesday afternoon -- was one of the very best experiences yet.

We enjoyed a fantastic get-together, arranged by Eric Wind and funded by Adam Golden [shout out to Menta Watches], hung out during the Christie’s auction, saw some special watches fetch some strong prices [shout out to Mike, for a story with a happy ending . . . #DontCrackUnderPressure], and saw Hodinkee launch a new version of the Skipper.

Of course, there’s a lot to discuss about each of these items . . . for every point, a counter point. But for now let me just say “thanks” to all the members of this amazing community.

It’s been a fantastic week, and there’s still Friday remaining . . . and who knows what that could bring . . . wink, wink!!

Jeff
