Over the last few years, the auction representatives are referred to as
specialists not as they were previously referred to as experts.
Specialists - a person who concentrates primarily on a particular subject
or activity; a person highly skilled in a specific and restricted field.
Experts - a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of
or skill in a particular area.
Buying from Internet Auctions:
Buyers beware!
An extraordinary number of timepieces offered on the Internet have been
altered or made to look authentic and these changes are not mentioned in
the description.
Solution: Buy from a company with 50-years of impeccable business sales
and a company that stands behind its product. If we say its running, its
running or we repair at no cost to the client. If we say it’s authentic,
it’s authentic. We are here and we stand behind all of our sales.
