I first messaged Eric around this time in 2011 when we were both living in Washington, DC. In four years, there haven't been many weeks during which Eric and I wouldn't exchange emails about any number of fake, obscure or incredible eBay listings. He's saved my ass a number of times and encouraged me to go after watches that turned out to be great watches (and great investments).

He's a great guy and a great friend. Christie's knows what they're doing.
