Hello fellow enthusiasts,
Spring has arrived in full force! Despite the recent downpours, the mercury is climbing, and our club events are revving up! Our latest Porsches and Watches event was a smashing success, thanks to the expertise of our member Paul Boutros, head of the watch department at Phillips. His knowledge and the dazzling array of special watches made it an unforgettable experience.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! In April, we have a packed schedule, including a detail event at Evolution Spa on 4/14 and a brand-new addition to our lineup, the Porsches and Photos event on 4/27. Plus, mark your calendars for the BodyMotion Cars and Coffee event on 4/21, a perennial favorite among our members.
Whether you're a regular attendee or a newcomer, we invite you to join us. We thrive on new ideas, fresh faces, and members who are passionate about shaping the future of our club. Keep an eye on our website and your inbox for more information and updates. Let's make this spring unforgettable together!
Cheers,
Chuck
JSRPCA President
Sunday, March 10th, was a special day for Jersey Shore with our first ever "Porsches and Watches" event.
Almost 40 people were in attendance at a private room in Belmar's Anchor Tavern. This event was the brainchild of Jersey Shore member Ana Seijas who we unfortunately lost last year. Ana knew that there are synergies between watch collecting and Porsche collecting, and this event certainly proved that!
Jersey Shore Region is very lucky to have Paul Boutros as one of our members. Paul is the Deputy Chairman and Head of Watches for Phillips--the leading auction house dedicated to collector's watches. Under Paul's leadership, the Phillips New York team sold a Heuer Monaco wristwatch gifted by Steve McQueen for $2.2M, Marlon Brando's Rolex GMT Master worn in "Apocalypse Now" for nearly $2M, a Rolex Day-Date belonging to Jack Nicklaus for $1.2M, Roger Smith's Number Two pocket watch for $4.9M, and Paul Newman's Rolex "Big Red" Daytona for $5.5M. And speaking of Paul Newman, Paul Boutros also led the auction that resulted in Paul Newman's "other" Rolex Daytona selling for $17.8M--the highest amount ever paid for a vintage wristwatch sold at auction.
Members brought their watches for Paul to appraise. Many brought in family heirlooms and learned a great deal about the pieces they've had for so many years. Paul's expertise regarding each and every time piece presented to him was phenomenal. He also provided the group with a great deal of information on the care and maintenance of their watches. The BEST story of the afternoon was a member who brought in a Rolex given to him by his wife in 1982 as a wedding gift. She paid $1,200 for it at the time. Paul's appraisal was $100,000, and the group was very excited (especially the watch owner!). What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Thank you so much, Paul Boutros for giving us your time and sharing your vast expertise!

Digital Membership Cards Available
PCA members can now opt-in to the digital membership card, available for Apple and Android digital wallets. It's easy and quick to download! Once in your wallet, your card is easily accessible when you need it.
Members may opt for a digital or mailed card, but not both. And with either the mailed card or the digital card, the primary member's choice will extend to the family/affiliate co-member.
Once opted in for a PCA digital membership card, you will receive an email that includes:
-
instructions for you and your family/affiliate co-member to access your digital membership card(s)
-
a digital version of the membership brochure
-
instructions on how to request a PCA window decal.
If you opt-in, you will not receive a mailed membership package or a mailed renewal reminder, but all of your other preferences will remain the same. So, for example, you will still continue to receive a mailed Panorama magazine if you already do so.
With this new feature, we look forward to allowing our members to carry this convenient digital card with them everywhere in their smartphone's digital wallet. This will also be a step forward in helping the Club become more sustainable and continuously adapt to the ever-changing digital landscape.
