***** SCANDAL ***** Photograph is retouched

In Response To: Photograph is retouched ()

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE !!!!
ANTIQUORUM USING TOUCHED UP PHOTO'S FOR SALES BY AUCTION ?????? !!!!!!!!!

This is a follow up to LouS posting above which detects the difference in the auction photo's over the years. Its clear that this is the same watch and that all the main elements are present - HOWEVER - look at the scratches and marks in the bezel as the years go by. Clearly airbrushed in the middle photo from 2011. Look , there is even "overspray" creeping over the zero of the 10. Numerous other damage and marks have been minimised or covered also. Where are the ethics of an auction house using clearly doctored photo's for an auction.
We need to ask who is responsible here? Do antiquorum use the sellers photo's OR do they take their own photo's ?
If it is Antiquorum that take vtheir own photo's then there is clearly some form of deception taking place.
This point needs to be followed up, does anyone here have a contact in Antiquorum that could check up on these facts ?
