    Interesting watch for sale at auction

    Why would a so called respected auction Golding Young , offer for sale a fake watch ? is it because they dont know , cant be bothered to remove the back or they know and hoping to catch out a novice bargain hunter or two in a bidding war ?
    Its not very professional .

    “Marked as” = we are not saying it’s the real thing…
    They don’t care as long as they get a profit

    Surely a business selling that openly is against some form of IP law...even if they are using opaque descriptions to make sure it isn't described as the real thing?

    All the above three reasons.

    Unfortunately plenty of snide stuff of all descriptions go through auctions. My youngest son used to work for one.
    Cheers,

    I've asked on the record if they believe it to be a genuine Rolex watch.

    "Good Morning,

    Thank you for your email.

    This lot has now been withdrawn from sale.

    Many thanks..."

    I didn't even need to direct them to the Humbert & Ellis car crash !

    Haha, brilliant.
    They probably saw your name and thought 'WITHDRAW IT' !

    Good work , obviously they thought better of selling it . I did call but there wasnt anyone who could help at the time, maybe that was convenient !
