: I've contacted the seller, who run's a reputable family business in

: Had his son on the phone this morning: the watch comes from an

: He'll ask his father and they will contact the source's family to
: find out more. He he is genuinely horrified about
: any suggestions/claims or (shadows of) doubts.
