Can anybody find the specific terms quoted by @Inox above among the general conditions defined on their website as of 19/03/15?

I wonder if the sellers were aware of the new rules.

 

Not in general conditions, but on the auction site - https://www.bukowskis.com/en/auctions/614/home, not present on previous timepieces auctions.

 

New rules should be introduced in an appropriate way and then found everywhere on their website.

I'm not a lawyer, but I guess I'd ask one in case I had been the seller of any of these watches.

 

Bazamu are you trying to corner the market on Movado. . Leave some for the rest of us!

 

While not an Omega, I'm kicking myself for not bidding on the salmon UG Compur that went for around ~$2k all in. Seemed nice, though it hadn't really caught my attention prior to the sale so I'm not sure if I missed something about the condition that made it go that low (or if it was just the sales issues that were previously stated).

What happened to the seller? Has he vanished in a Strope

 

Dial appears to be refinished IMO.

 

I was wondering about the watch and dial originality so I opened up a new thread on the UG subforum so as to not drift this thread more than it's already been. Thanks gents.

you quoted me there before I had a careful look, as Dan said, dial is no good

 

The overall feeling I have as I am reading these comments is that the execution on this auction was extremely poor, to say the least.
As someone said, in hindsight it is (always) 20/20, but I am failing to grasp why the seller rushed into this auction. I am naturally slow on this type of activities because of my OCD tendency to deal with facts and numbers, but trusting an auction house within 3 days AND within a month of the sale itself, was not ideal.
Compound this by electronic bidding issues, surprise deposit, etc. and you have a little disaster waiting to happen.
Overall, given the economic landscape, there is still a real potential for the vintage market softening overall, and this may have been the first auction to reflect this as well.

 

I'm guessing the winning bidder doesn't think it was a disaster.

 

How many times do I have to correct noob's that it's CDO (chronic disorder with obsession) in correct alphabetical order.

Seriously, OP stepped on his Richard, maybe no fault of his own.
My legal team, Dewey, Cheatham and Howe told me not to relinquish possession at this time.

 

Just for me as a noob: Is it "noob's" or "noobs"?

 

Vanished with $97k , minus fees.

 

Depe

Depends whether or not it's indicating that the "noob" is in possession or it's an abbreviation of "noobeeees"? definitely not plural.................................... Fakkin apostrophes!

 

He could've vanished with more if he had slowed down a bit and listened to the advice of experts.

 

A simple plural does not require an apostrophe.

Thank you, Sir. That's what I thought.

 

Agree. But Bukowskis (no apostrophe ) didn't seem to be a bad address before the yesterday's results?

 

Did you listen to the Car Guys on NPR? That was their legal team as well.
