Re: ***** SCANDAL ***** Photograph is retouched

Or could it be that someone has retouched the bezel? Looks to me that someone took a spray can to it - or of course the picture was photoshopped! Either way, NOT good.

: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE !!!!
: ANTIQUORUM USING TOUCHED UP PHOTO'S FOR SALES BY AUCTION ??????
: !!!!!!!!!

: This is a follow up to LouS posting above which detects the
: difference in the auction photo's over the years. Its clear that
: this is the same watch and that all the main elements are
: present - HOWEVER - look at the scratches and marks in the bezel
: as the years go by. Clearly airbrushed in the middle photo from
: 2011. Look , there is even "overspray" creeping over
: the zero of the 10. Numerous other damage and marks have been
: minimised or covered also. Where are the ethics of an auction
: house using clearly doctored photo's for an auction.
: We need to ask who is responsible here? Do antiquorum use the
: sellers photo's OR do they take their own photo's ?
: If it is Antiquorum that take v their own photo's
: then there is clearly some form of deception taking place.
: This point needs to be followed up, does anyone here have a contact
: in Antiquorum that could check up on these facts ?
