We’ve remarked before that Top Marques Replica Omega watches Monaco can often be the repository of some automotive concepts better left on the drafting table. Yes, we’re looking at you, Monaco Red Diamond monstrosity. Not to be outdone in the bad ideas department is Lithuania’s own Audronis Gestautas. Under his fledgling AG Excalibur banner, Gestautas presented two versions of his Shark design with something of a Seventies-style Stutz Bearcat vibe, painted blaring, glaring red. Appropriately enough, the license plate bore the numbers 666.The Shark, so named on account of its outsized, aggressively toothed grill, is based on either a Mercedes-Benz CL or BMW 6 Series platform. Eschewing the carbon fibre fad, all the body work and interior elements are sculpted from PU-foam. Enormous 30” spinning rims, two gear shifts, diamonds for dashboard buttons, six parking cameras and a brothel-worthy upholstered leather interior with beaded crystal piping are among the upgrades offered to prospective Excalibur purchasers. Of the two, the BMW is the more understated, though that seems beside the point.
One of the most beautiful, rare and pristine Rolex Cosmographs ever to cross the auction block is being offered at Sotheby’s’ Important Replica Omega watches sale in Geneva on May 9. Expected to fetch up to €82,000, the stainless steel “Paul Newman” style chronograph with the distinctive white face and black subdials for constant seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour register, was manufactured in 1985. As Sotheby’s notes, it is extremely rare to find a “Paul Newman” Cosmograph like this in an almost unused condition still bearing its original green sticker on the case back.The watch, a Daytona though it doesn’t say so on the face, features the coveted cal. 727, manual winding nickel lever movement with 17 jewels and comes accompanied by its presentation case and a guarantee confirming the original sale date in 1985 from Tyme Ltd. of Old Bond St., London. Sure, you could find ten good quality secondhand Daytonas for the price of this beauty, but this Replica Omega watches is one in a million. Paul Newman, who wore one until the sad day when we went to the great racetrack in the sky, would be proud.
