More crazy fakes…
This and the other deep dives Perezscope has done have completely turned me off vintage watches. I’m ok with lower value watches where there isn’t much incentive to do crazy things like this, but it seems like anything over a certain threshold is a brutal minefield.

Sometimes it seems like this whole thing is a game of musical chairs
