Kudos to Artcurial, for Doing the Right Thing
In Response To: Re: Jo Siffert's Autavia for sale at Artcurial ()

Kudos and respect to Artcurial for doing the right thing, in pulling the watch from the auction, and good work by Mark in bringing the issue to their attention. Well done on both fronts!!

Quite a contrast with the reaction from Antiquorum, four years ago, when they sold a known fake [as confirmed by five top experts], for the sake of a $750 commission. But that's another story, that was told HERE.
