Yes, Chris has been very generous with his time for TRF, as he used to work at an AD and shared with TRF members his insights and answered many members' questions about working in an AD in his "Ask an Insider" threads (see below).

Chris wish I had known you were there and I would have asked for you. As i was buying something Got chatting to one of your regulars who is a very serious Patek collector and he was telling me he had been legged over by a very prominent US independent dealer who had misrepresented a very important Patek he had just bought. Sounded dreadful. Very interesting chap.
Now, about the platinum GP ROO....... |
