I say that the tone of comment will be probably similar to any other rare watches.
A Series 2 was for sale recently in CM and all is fine because the seller is legitimate.
The comment in October is not because what the seller sells but what he
may not have. I think he even send one of SteveG's photograph to a fellow purist who's interested in buying the watch.
The tone of comment then was purely to make sure he knows we are no fools and also to
warn fellow purists the possibility of scam.
It is as simple as that.
A very good friend of mine who is also a well known collector asked me why won't I place my additional Simplicity for sale in an auction house.
It will raise great profile for the watch and probably make me as a seller, anonmynous.
My answer is simple.
I want to know where the watch goes to and I have no intention to hide my identity.
Never have I post a picture of my watch with the number 'concealed'.
In this process, I may also make a new friend 
Internet conversation can hide one identity and intention but I believe a true gentleman action
can be felt and seem through his sincere, honest action.
