The Donkey in the (Auction) Room
Just today, I've stumbled upon a thread - in WUS F11 - about this weekend's auctions at Phillips. Normally, I'd click on it, skim, and move on to something else, since a) I find the auction houses a rather revolting safe space for those doing hype, fleecing, and worse, selling fakes and frankens, and b) I fucking hate Phillips.
However, I thought that digging through the shite for intel is more important than saying "fuck it" and calling it a day, and I wasn't wrong.
Scrolling through the list of lots, I found this little article, written by - surprise, surprise - one of the Hoodwinkee staff:
https://www.phillips.com/article/30722188/making-a-case-for-restored-dials
Just in the last few months, Benny the Donkey tried to hype redials in a lengthy (and idiotic to the level of causing mental pain an inch south of physical discomfort) editorial using...a Patek as an example.
So, it looks like among many services offered by Hoodwinkee, that being creating hype and writing advertorials, now they're also providing condottieri.
End of communique.

I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.
