Re: "Custom Made" Watch, with "Later" / "Upgraded" Movement
In Response To: "Custom Made" Watch, with "Later" / "Upgraded" Movement ()

: Indeed!!

: instead of calling it a "fake", as any of us might,
: Antiquorum describes it as a "custom made" watch, with
: "later", "upgraded" movement. of course,
: this movement is neither later nor upgraded, but I suppose that
: there is no Grading Code for "Franken" or
: "Fake"!

Jeff,
I got this problem......................why in the hell can't you and Sam call the crooks what they are? Dishonest, liars and thieves. The powers that be at
Antiquorum know about this little problem and have failed to do anything about it. They have the facts and still they call it a "custom".
Pure crap! Its a fake, pure and simple, and, it puts everything they do into question. When you change the dial/movement/case/back you are turning it
into a "custom" or "project watch" or anything else you can cook up. Its a "Frankenwatch" pure and simple. A smartass you know well told recently that
"custom" can mean anything you want it to. Wize guy, huh?
Great research Jeff and we thank you for it.
