    Adam, I have to say Ramon was correct to push you to continue to make videos about your vintage watch business. So interesting as well as educational not mention the person you hired behind the camera, their choice of lighting as not gone unnoticed, very impressive. Cheers!

    Apparently the issue with the Omega was spotted by a blogger and it all blew up from there. None of the auction house experts spotted the inconsistencies. Omega were oblivious initially but once the piece was scrutinised they saw that it wasn't genuine.

    Adrian should really avoid expressing opinions on the value of any watches that aren't MODERN Rolex, AP, or Richard Mille pieces -- he's really out of his element when it comes to vintage watches and it's obvious that his only interest in watches is the margin he'll make on a sale, not it's horological significance.

    Sadly price of ownership can easily kill most attractive buying price. Service and repair of 30-40 years old tourbillon or perpetual calendar can be ridiculous. Wearing them on regular basis is impossible. Real collectors market not for general public.

    It does not matter what Adam buys for, that should be irrelevant, it will sell for what his customer is willing to pay. I deal in antique corkscrews and I am happy to pay say £5k for something even when the seller has been lucky to buy for say £50, if you want it you want it!

    I'm a watch nerd and although I don't have $30k to drop on a vintage gold Patek, I get it. The movements are fundamentally on a different level. The Rolex's seem like mass hysteria though. We're talking about a super basic tractor parts movement in a mass produced steel watch. It seems like people paying the same money for one as a gold Patek must be ill.
