··Vintage Omega AficionadoI think that's right. This is not the first time I have found defects not to be mentioned in auction listings and condition reports, and not only from Antiquorum. In some ways, buying from an auction house is more a pig in a poke than Ebay, where you can at least communicate with the seller relatively directly and specifically. The person who answers queries at an auction house may or may not know what they are talking about. Note the Christie's blogger - not a low-level customer service person, but their designated watch blogger - who writes that automatic chronographs somehow get by without an anchor escapement.
Cue curmudgeonly rant about things not being what they were, etc. Caveat emptor is all...
I can almost forgive the ignorance. What pisses me off is that I pay a 25% buyers premium for this ignorance. That to me is simply unacceptable.
