Funny old sale, good that there is a big Heuer only sale, but certainly on the Monaco side, not alot to get excited about.

Perhaps a good precursor to next year however, chalk and cheese might spring to mind...

: The folks at Patrizzi & Co. have requested that I post the
: following message, relating to their "Heuer Only"
: auction, to be held Saturday, November 28th, in Milan. As has
: been discussed on this forum, Patrizzi has withdrawn several
: lots that were considered to be problematic. They withdrew these
: watches after I had done a very quick review of the proof of the
: printed catalog. Patrizzi is also seeking further information on
: many of the "Specials" that were included in the print
: catalog -- watches said to have been ordered for customers (like
: AGIP or Coca-Cola), and the listings of the "Specials"
: have also been put on hold, while Patrizzi seeks this further
: information.

: Here is the message from Patrizzi & Co.
: The "Frankens"

: After recent discussions with Jeff Stein of OnTheDash.com, and,
: given our concerns regarding these lots and in fairness to our
: buyers, Patrizzi & Co have decided to unequivocally withdraw
: these lots from this auction. The "Special" pieces

: Patrizzi & Co were given to understand from the distributor
: that these lots were made under special order in Italy. In order
: to confirm their authenticity, these lots are currently
: undergoing detailed analysis and rigorous controls of their
: cases, movements, and hallmarks. Following this analysis, those
: pieces that are undoubtedly as originally indicated to us, will
: be sold at auction and any that are shown to be of doubtful
: origin will be withdrawn.
: For our readers's ease of reference, here is the link to the
: online catalog --

: Shown below are high resolution images of a few of the watches that
: are included in the auction; I will hope to add a few more of
: these images, over the next few days.

: Please feel free to post comments or questions on this situation.

: Jeff
