: Bet you one of those famous bags of OTD M&Ms what Antiquorum's
: reaction will be. After all, it can sell for a penny.

Times are tough all over.

Why are you giving Antiquorum a hard time over selling a clearly fake watch to earn a few bucks in commission?

Just because they are trading on their eroding reputation to sell another relatively meagerly priced item on which they will earn this month's rent . . . ah, no, not enough for that.
Earn a fine meal for the staff at a New York or Geneva restaurant . . . ah, no, not enough for that.
Starbucks coffee for the staff for a week? They'll earn a little more than that, . . . . . . . .and tarnish their reputation even more.

You are going to make them come up with some clever wording to cover themselves again . . . . what was it last time?
"This watch is custom-made" . . . wasn't that it?

So leave those poor prevaricating entrepreneurs at Antiquorum alone and stop making them use their creative energy on describing the inexpensive watches.
And let them concentrate on the more expensive ones -- where their actions to date on recent Heuer and Omega auctions imply, that they must be working on creating adequate provenance under their so-called expertise, with which to allow sullied sales of other doubtful watches . . . . that just don't happen to come to notice to our expertise.

Of course, I could be wrong . . . and it could be I wrote the above with absolutely no sarcasm intended.
I think one is as likely as the other.
You be the judge.
