The paper clip Ed White scandal The Speedie caseback caper A 2998-4 with a dubious movement number bridge. What am I leaving out? Thanks to a certain seller, OF of 2015-16 had a bit of the Wild Wild West.
There really is always a bit of the wild wild west around due to it being an industry where a lot of money can be made but that caseback opener thing was the final straw for us in that particular guy's case. Copying a brass caseback opener just to save a few bucks at the expense of the guy who designed it was just such a petty thing to sacrifice one's reputation on that there was no trust left anymore.
