The Alfa Nero superyacht, which has been abandoned in the Caribbean for more than two years, has a new owner. The 267-foot (81-meter) vessel, complete with a baby grand piano and a swimming pool that turns into a helipad, sold for $40 million last week, said Ronald Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the US. He declined to name the buyer, citing a confidentiality agreement. The sale marks the latest attempt to end the years-long Alfa Nero saga. A Russian oligarch abandoned the luxury yacht in Antigua in March 2022, after being sanctioned by the US Treasury. Then tech billionaire Eric Schmidt tried buying it at auction, only to give up when the sale became a legal quagmire. bit.ly/4cVzVeJ

This week, in 1962 the first James Bond film was released to the world - Dr No. Featuring the wonderful Sean Connery as Mr Bond himself, it was the first film that would start the James Bond craze for many years to come (let's face it, we are all waiting for the announcement of who the next James Bond will be!) Whether its your favourite bond film or not or even your favourite Mr Bond (everyone has their favourites 😁) there is no denying it that due to these films, anything relating to James Bond is now very collectable. So it was no surprise when at a previous Fine Wristwatches auction, we had a Rolex Oyseter Perpetual Submariner 100m-330ft 'James Bond' stainless steel gents wristwatch, that sold for an impressive £14,300 (incl. buyers premium). On the day it was a watch in demand, as the popularity of pre-crown guard Submariners surged all thanks to their presence in the James Bond films 'Dr. No' and 'Goldfinger'. If this has inspired you to look at your watch collection and you would like our specialist Russell to take a look at, why not bring it along to one of our Friday valuation events or contact Russell for your auction valuation. #bishopandmiller #auction #auctions #auctionhouse #onlineauction #auctioneer #valuers #antique #antiques #timepieces #watches #wristwatch #wristwatches #jamesbond #appraisal #valuation #rolex #rolexwatch #gentsrolex

From Rapaport news I love this one: Taking the hammer to synthetic diamond!!!! Is there a place for lab-grown stones at auction? Four experts weigh in. Natural diamonds have long been a fixture on the auction circuit. From the great heights of the CTF Pink Star, which Sotheby’s sold in 2017 for a record $71.2 million, to smaller stones priced in the tens of thousands, auction houses have always seen demand for these items. To date, however, not even the smaller companies have offered lab-grown diamonds at their sales. That begs the question: Are synthetic stones worthy of a place at auction? And do they have potential value beyond their initial firsthand sale?
