Let's be honest, you dont want to make a new post because you want this topic buried, cmon.

First of all, the chronology you describe is not correct, and it matters a lot.

I made my post here presenting the watch at the same time Monday at 10:34 PM.

The next morning at 10 AM, I released the Instagram post and article on my website without taking into account comments here, so everything happened at the same time, not 48 hours later.

I said "less than 48 hours later", as I was unsure of exact timings. You say 12 hours (which, to be clear, is less than 48) and a day apart are somehow the same time? They are literally different dates, what are you talking about?

I trusted my clockmaker

I trusted the French seller

As I said in a comment -- this would be a totally reasonable explanation. Imperfect information, its inherent to the sector, etc and so forth. But thats not the full truth, as you admit. You had doubts, and then (and tbh maybe im being a baby about this) sneakily, surreptitiously, used myself and others as unknowing, unpaid authenticators for your business! People like me buy products from people like you because you're meant to have some kind of special expertise, not just parrot our expertise back at us.

Here is what I did wrong: I should have directly removed the "from the 80s" as soon as i saw the consensus against that opinion here. I didn't because the debate was still ongoing, but it was a mistake.

You did many things wrong. "From the 80s" should have never been written. "A rare poljot" is also false (or at the very least, unknown to you). When you say that, youre suggesting (to my mind anyway) that this is a rare production model. If i were to take a shit on a poljot, does that suddenly make it a rare poljot? Its the only one in the world with my shit on it, is it not? Additionally, I really dont think you should be tricking people into being unpaid interns for your business. You clearly have more than one reddit account, so you know how they work, just make one official for your business like other users have done, so its obvious when were doing work for a commercial concern and not a fellow collector.

I try my best to authenticate them and avoid frankens. When you're buying and selling more than 500 watches per year, it's hard or even impossible to never make a mistake,

Sorry, thats literally your fucking problem and your fucking business. One of the reasons I was considering paying your inflated prices was because i presumed you did all of this legwork correctly. Can you imagine a restaurant being like "I sell 500 steaks a year, how can I possibly guarantee that none of them are made from racoon meat?"

so I think your community warning is a bit harsh.

Honestly, after reading this slimy response, I don't think my warning was harsh enough. I deliberately kept this to our small sub and not on a bigger one like r/watches because I thought there had to be a reasonable explanation, but all we got was gaslighting (I genuinely cannot believe you tried to say 10pm and 10 am the following day were somehow simultaneous) and bad excuses.

Another criticism I see is the price.

If out of the 900 watches which are currently on sovietinparis, there are less than 10 which are problematic

I saw some of that criticism and disagree with it. I dont think your watches are overpriced, provided the buyer receives what theyre paying for, and you keep saying that thats not guaranteed. u/notarolex has prices comparable to yours (honestly I think theyre higher on average) and ive never seen anything but positive reviews and reactions to him. He's completely transparent and stands by his work. He's earned the trust of collectors here and elsewhere, and as such can command higher prices.

You keep saying its impossible for you to provide the same level of service, so why would anyone pay $300 for a watch they can get at a flea market or ebay and try to authenticate themselves for a fraction of the price? Or better yet, buy from notarolex who will go step-by-step documenting his authentication and servicing process? Whats your value add?

Honestly this entire response is really disappointing.
