Two Embarassing Errors in Low Resale High Quality Horology Video

[@Javi_C]

We all make mistakes, don’t worry about it Dr.! Thanks for letting us know!

[@watchartsci]

Thanks Javi. Take care, Bill

[@patsmith3894]

You are great. Small mistakes mean little. Corrected errors mean nothing. Keep going. We love you.

[@watchartsci]

Thanks Pat-I just don't want more misinformation out there! Take care, Bill

[@gillesderais3848]

Thanks for your honesty, Bill, a rare thing in the social media world and unfortunately in the real world also. Love your videos!

[@watchartsci]

Thanks, Gilles! After all, it's just a hobby...we need not be too proud to fix an error! Take care, Bill

[@mell3109]

Hi Bill. To be honest I view your videos almost as a discussion, not one way. Your videos are great. If this was in the pub we we chat, discuss, correct and enjoy. Everyone should do their own research anyway so I would never expect anyone to pull you up with any malice and I hope those that did mention the errors did so under the above terms 😊

[@watchartsci]

Yes, Mark, you are exactly right! It is meant to be a discussion. However, I've been told that a lot of watches I mention are snatched up, and I'd hate to have someone buy a watch I mentioned but I have the wrong information on the movement. Take care, Bill

[@TimG--]

Bill ! You are human. No big deal. Thank you for the content 🥃🏌🏽‍♂️

[@watchartsci]

I'd hate to see someone buy a watch with an inferior movement because of a video I did, Tim. Take care, Bill

[@BenNS1971]

Great service to the community. Congrats, Bill! I truly believe that very few would’ve back tracked and made this video.

[@JimmyBenson-p5h]

A very honest person. I worked in oil trading environment. We all make mistakes!

[@The-Real-Al]

Great update Bill. I love the dial on the Faberge. While you needed to make a few updates I really enjoy your videos on great buys in the watch world. I don’t think I will ever buy a new watch when I can get great value for a more reasonable price.

[@watchartsci]

I appreciate your comments, it's nice to know there are those who appreciate these kinds of deals, Al. Take care, Bill

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Class act as always, cheers Bill

[@MrPagnu]

No big deal, your correction is much appreciated though. Greetings from Italy

[@SouthPadreTony]

Been saving up for that Faberge “roadkill chicken” watch! Love the rotor… not sure I love the ETA 🧐 Thank you, doc!

[@watchartsci]

Tony, the Fabergé Agathon with the date at 6 o'clock may be the model with the FP like mine ... but need to check first. As for the ETA ... it's a very good ETA model, but not at that price. Take care, Bill

[@SouthPadreTony]

@ I really appreciate that you share your expertise and love for watches with us!

[@AbdulRWatches]

Mistakes happen, still great watches. Thanks Bill for the information.

[@aaronmichael1022]

Mistakes happen, I'm sure there was no ill intent. Thanks for bringing us the updates.

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

No problem Bill, 👌❤️👍

[@watchartsci]

Thank John. Take care, Bill

[@xpdchief7698]

Good catch by all. I think we all appreciate the correction. I usually just blame it on my dog! 🤣 Best regards, Brian

[@watchartsci]

Brian, I need to get a dog! Take care, Bill

[@TrumanBurbankFE]

The Monegasque chrono is a thing of beauty. I saw it for about $12.000 on Ch24. I think I prefer the simpler and rugged Easy Diver because I noticed the Poinçon de Geneve was on the case as well on that watch. Strange.

[@watchartsci]

Truman, yes it seems that Roger Dubuis has the bulk of Geneva Seal along with Vacheron Constantin, but the RD movements may haven an edge on those by VC overall. Take care, Bill

I am an old, can’t hold a 3rd Class Medical anymore pilot. I heard you mention you did a little dabbling in aviation world. PIC is solely responsible for the safety of his passengers, people on the ground, and his AC. No exceptions. Especially now in the world of LLC’s how refreshing to hear a guy own up to an error without equivocation. You’re the GOAT Bill. Thanks

[@Not-a-bot222]

I am a young(ish) pilot and PIC. There’s old pilots and there’s bold pilots but very few old and bold pilots, we are always learning. Each and everyday. And we make mistakes, but always better to learn from the mistakes of others!

[@watchartsci]

I used to fly with a group called Flying Doctors of Mercy (Liga) in a Cessna 177B, and we'd fly down to Sinaloa, Mexico. We flew in to our clinics there, and it some of the most interesting flying I did-Loran was our best navigation tool back then (late 80s/early 90s); but like every group, there were some boneheads. One guy decided to show off by flying under a bridge but changed his mind at the last minute and flew into one of the bridges guide-wires and crashed. No one was killed by sheer luck. We had a hearing, and the pilot got into my face daring me to suggest he was a bad pilot. Any pilot who makes poor decisions is a bad one. Driving an airplane is one thing; making informed decisions is another. Please don't get me started with airplane stories .... our subscribers suffer enough! Take care, Bill

[@Not-a-bot222]

@ it sounds like dumb luck they all survived that mishap. The 177 Cardinal is a great airplane, my buddy’s father has one and flies dogs to shelters in it. Thanks for great story!

[@danehardinge8801]

saved in the nick of time!!

[@watchartsci]

Whew! Dane! Take care, Bill

[@nigelbarker8726]

If you want a F. Piguet movement, perhaps just buy a Blancpain. They are typically well discounted on the secondhand market.

[@watchartsci]

That's true Nigel, but I like the case that Fabergé makes ... the best of both worlds. Take care, Bill

[@aleksandargogic9084]

No worries Neighbor, you made so many videos, we are all human… Stay safe on this miserable rainy, icy day!!

[@watchartsci]

Thanks Alek! I'll get it right next time. Take care, Bill

[@quarters-eye8922]

That explains why the resale value on the Faberg’e Agathon is so low. Nothing wrong with the 2892-A2 mind you, but I’m not willing to pay that much for it.

[@watchartsci]

It's a pretty amazing watch, Q-Eye. The 2892A2 isn't a bad movement, but it's also not as special as what you'd expect from a brand like Fabergé! Take care, Bill

[@etebol]

I was gonna say Fede from DelRay “not” making money off a watch????? Lol

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

Bill, I can't find your contact/website. I'd like to make watches with now-revealed 12 Gemstones of God. You can absolutely reach out to me. ☀️ Happy Holidays

[@yrngreenstaxx4159]

hey can i send u my pam 312 i just got off chrono 24 for 3400 bucks

[@watchartsci]

Why would you want to do that, Yrn? Take care, Bill
