A suggestion.

Hi Guys,

Are all those pictures from the same auction Chuck ?

I see a largish Ding in the bezel just below the 09:00 marker. This would indicate that we are looking at the same watch in all of those pics.

Here is one of Chuck's pics & one of Sams ( Chucks first )

I see that Sams watch has exactly the same papers that Chuck shows ( Sam shows a couple of extra white cards ). Notice the fold down the middle of the orange paper ( you can see this in BOTH pics). In Chuck's pic you can see some marks on the right edge of the guarantee card. These are unfortunately hidden in Sam's pic.

My suggestion. Is it possible that the Auction pics from Chuck are of EXACTLY the same watch/packaging/box, that Sam just bought.

It's known that some of the recent Antiquorum watches were bought/sold on eBay upto 12 months before the auction. Could it be that the eBay auction archived by Chuck, was bought by someone, this watch was refurbished & then the complete package ( as bought via eBay) then sold via the Antiquorum auction ?

It could be possible. ( I obviously have no way of proving it )
