Actually the dates are wrong - the camera I used was completely out of charge and I did not reset the date settings. The photos were taken on Saturday night.
I have receipts (or emails) for all of it showing the dates of purchase. The Mak and mount are only two (or three?) weeks old. Besides, I'm pretty sure Skywatcher weren't doing Black Diamond paint two years ago...
If you don't believe me, come and have a look
