BBC Watches segment with Martin Hughes

Aug 13, 2023

Wessex Auction Rooms sell many watches in our specialist watch auctions.

Martin Hughes recently spoke with Natasha Raskin Sharp for a BBC One segment that aired during an episode of Bargain Hunt on August 4th.

The piece was centred around a collection that included vintage and modern watches including Rolex, Omega, Seiko, Hamilton, and even a retro Casio that has a built in TV remote!

The star of the show was a rare, sought after, and recently discontinued Rolex Daytona in yellow gold with a striking green face - commonly referred to as the John Mayer Daytona due to the association with the guitarist thanks to his famous Talking Watches piece for Hodinkee which resulted in the secondary market price exceeding double the retail price!
