    As I am subscriptor of some leading auction houses (as many of us, I suppose), I have received today an email reminding two watch auctions at Auctionata Berlin this week... And I have seen this:

    Well.. Ehemm... After some bleeding from my eyes and some foam coming from my mouth I have managed to return to conscious writing to post this: Dear gentlement from Auctionata watch department, everybody may be mislead with a watch and buy/sell a piece with some defective or unoriginal part... But this kind of joke is unadmissible in a serious auction house.

    For you, the bravest ones, clik here for more on this interesting watch:

    Go on, post it! This is not unique to Auctionata. Myself I have stopped browsing their listings.
    When you, on top of being scammed, is forced to pay more than 30% (!) premium on the resulting price, well... No further comments!::censored::

    Yes, and the dial is "signed"...... I have a strong notion it was not "signed" by JLC themselves. ;)
