"Oh, a pocket watch," exclaims Horst Lichter happily when entering the "Bares for Rares" studio. "Would you wear a pocket watch?" the moderator wants to know from Sven Deutschmanek. He doesn't like the answer: "No, it suits you more. Maybe it's an old thing." When Lichter looks irritated, the expert starts to struggle. "It just suits you better... just... it just fits better."
Fortunately, Peter Mörchen enters the room at that moment and saves the two from further embarrassment. The 62-year-old teacher from Lüdinghausen does not know exactly what he brought with him. "It looks like a pocket watch. Apparently it isn't."
"Mörchen", as the man calls himself, wants to know the exact purpose of Sven Deutschmanek. This is a manual counter, explains the expert. But what should be counted? The manufacturer could draw conclusions about this. A company that made its money with church devotional objects. gasoline engine
Was it really used for that? Deutschmanek also has his doubts. "Mörchen" would like 50 euros for the good piece. This coincides with the expertise - and that's how it goes to the dealer room. However, Horst Lichter still needs to be talked about: "How was that again with age: do you think wearing a pocket watch has anything to do with age or with style?"
Deutschmanek avoided an answer, so Horst Lichter tried a different way: "Well, if I'm wearing a pocket watch now, and I still feel very young..." Then his counterpart interrupted him: "Feel is not his." At Lichter the penny drops: "Are you trying to tell me through the flower that I'm a very old person?" - "You're ripe," Deutschmanek tries to sweeten the bitter message, but the moderator has already left the room.
Meanwhile, the confession counter is well received in the dealer's room. "They brought us a pressed piece for counting pieces," Daniel Meyer greets the seller. Fabian Kahl starts with 50 euros, Sarah Schreiber finally gets the bid for 130 euros.
A great deal for "Mörchen". Daniel Meyer, on the other hand, becomes melancholy: "I'm a bit jealous of the watch," says the dealer afterwards. "I'd also like to be pressed."
