    "Wanker's Reserve" - I think that should be an official auction term.

    "This beautiful forged Neptune cloisonne dial Seamaster is offered with a Wanker's Reserve of $5000."

    Nice! I agree with Lou - we should adopt that term. I think I'll send the seller a message that I'd like to bid $900 and wait for his reply, then explain that a minimum bid IS a reserve. (Of course I'll throw in a couple of select Joizey pejoratives too. :D)

    Should read: OMEGA Constellation 18kt Pie Pan **WR**

    Do I get points for coining a new official term?

    Maybe if you create one or two more Ashley will send you an official "Hoi was wrong - the hands are long" Omega Forums tshirt.

    BTW, I haven't gotten a reply yet.
