    One of the more striking pieces I've seen shared here and definitely as far as time pieces go.
    Lav-May I ask how you found it ? Not where (don't give away your 'trade secrets'), but just a generic description. Always love a good detective story !

    Third hand recommendations to the owner about myself. I am not the best one to work with clock like this, really. But happy to have a chance.

    He was either trying to sell it for the max, use part of the proceeds to buy it from the real owner, ship it to his buyer and pocket the rest.
    Or.... he was trying to get as much info from a prospective buyer as he could in order to fleece him, because someone who can afford 6m USD is bound to have a lot more.
    Either way, a scam artist.
