Scottish Watches Podcast #643 : Scam Alert – Uncovering The Watch Industry Truth with Perezcope
Description
Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 643! It was touch-and-go for a bit, as we thought someone had finally tracked Jose, a.k.a. Perezcope, down. However, he’s back after getting mainstream attention for his brilliant detective work in GQ, the Financial Times, and the Robb Report. His ever-growing database of over 100,000 watches has proven vital to unmask a fake multimillion Rolex Daytona 6242 Yacht-Master, challenging the claims of Blancpain and Zodiac that their divers were created in the often quoted year of 1953, and deep diving into the history of Blancpain and fact-checking their origin story and fluid founding year.
