Cartier

That tin, narrow strap just don’t look right on some of the influencers wrist 🤷🏻‍♂️ but it’s a ultimate hype piece to me.

this date for the case 1970 should have the calibre 840 which is from 1960
as the calibre 841 did not come into production until 1973
the dimensions for both are the same=15.4x 13 x H 3.5mm and runs at 198000 vph
the calibre 846 came into production from 1975=15.2 x 13 x H 2.9mm and runs at 21600vph
putting the crash on a timing machine would help to clarify also measure it.

Same for dainty Cartier tanks. They exude wrist presence only because people are shocked to see a 23mm Cartier on a big hairy wrist.

But he wear macho watches 👏🏻

I'd like to know what people here think of 

A contrarian perhaps, who can in "consumer protection" issues be quite useful but eventually the perspective of "this, that and every other thing are wrong" loses appeal to me -- and I suspect that intentions and motives of the seller might not be so much nefarious as ignorant. Those are just my subjective reactions to his seemingly omniscient posts.
Being a collector myself and probably not as well versed on the items I own as I should be...

but this guy SEEMS to have the goods on a lot of watches...from dial repaints and reconstructions to down right fakes.
For instance; the sand casting textures on the hallmarks of the Crash watch in question.
How does he get such access to the items he describes in his articles?
If he has this access and knowledge you'd think the auction experts would have even more access and knowledge.
You'd think...
But I know that maybe sometimes its just better to let sleeping dogs lie...(speaking of dogs...$454K isn't dog food)
Still, my primary question is: is this guy for real? Or is he making this stuff up? (it doesn't seem like). Or does he have an ulterior agenda...?
Not like I'll ever occupy the rarified air in which these watches exist...just curious about the atmosphere that surrounds this hobby.

That's quite low for a Crash.  Word got out.  

It is an impressively detailed article. He raises so many questions that one wonders why Phillips didn’t withdraw the lot before the auction. Who knows whether the winning bidder (who is on the hook for $454k) was aware of the questions raised in the article.
