Indeed, the "high end" pieces sat at stable, but unexciting, prices for many years, with the occasional "pop" for a great piece, and now some nice pieces are selling for twice what we saw last year. My explanation: A relatively small number of well-funded buyers, chasing some pieces, probably for their fantastic old cars.

I am happy that I still have most of my "Best-of-the-Best" pieces, and mainly sold off the "extras".

But why was I unwilling to pay $2,000 for the Ferrari-logo triple set, back in 1998/99? What would it be worth now? And what about the Chronomatic Monaco, that I passed on at around $2,400, because I had never tried a Monaco? Oh, well . . .
