HOW CAN WE HELP NICOLAS?? ONE OF OUR HEROES AND ICONS??
I just read about Nicolas' experience with Antiquorum, a (so-called) 'renowned' auction house who--in my perspective--STOLE Nicolas' watch from him a second time. Please be sure to read the original post -- describing our DEAR FRIEND'S HORRIBLE experience...
An easy start:
is to vote with our feet and never buy from them anymore. Also advise friends against buying from them. I wonder how they are still in business after all the bad stories around their name

I knew this happened years ago, but when I read your post recently about Antiq. acquiring it and everything you did to stop the sale, I did not look at the posted- date. At any rate, it filled me with anger. I really would be very happy to be a part of an...
FYI
There is one for sale on the European Watch Company with an archive certificate. Might be worth checking the number. The only reason I mention it is because it has archive papers.
People don't know what they don't know... The most you can do is to tell others to avoid auction houses and be very careful...
There's a saying... "You don't know what you don't know." Meaning you don't know how limited your knowledge is. So be careful. Be humble. Realize that you may not be in the know. Realize that you're being lead to a slaughter. And probably just avoid aucti...
