There was a desire to insinuate a scandalous tone, but, it is a little more involved than that, and the high end watch market is real and thriving.

This scam is likely to taint the Brand Ambassadors of these watches too. How can they associate themselves with these scam companies?

While I feel disgusted with their actions, I am also amused that the watchmakers short-changed themselves. If it is all artificial, why not go over-board? Instead of $350K, I wonder why they did not but their own watch for $3.5 million?

Ryan & Jeff - you are primarily motivated by self-interest, and not what is right. I have a gut-feel that you are from Omega's PR Dept. You both collect high-priced watches and are scared that this scam might affect your collection's prices. I dont have axe to grind as I do not own (and neither desire to own) any such price-inflated-watches. I see this issue as a criminal act by Omega and other luxury watch-makers.]]>Oct 12th 2007 10:48PM
