Interesting … blockchain?

Interesting to see that the 20/80 proportion became 80/20 so fast.


I read that half of the counterfeited watches are Rolex, I’m wondering what is also at the top? Nautilus? RO? ROO?

I recall an older post/article about the mini fake-factories who were pilfering PP dresswatches to get hold of authentic PP movements.

Maybe time to relook at the blockchains solutions that VC was experimenting with at the time of the QdL?? Does anyone know of any other solution in place to authenticate watches?

Cheers,
Jerome

There are some very good fugazi PPs, Panerai, etc.

Imho the timepieces brands with the least proper hand decoration (Rolex, typical mainstream PP, Panerai, etc) seem to be easy to recreate. Don't see any MB&F, Rexhep Rexhepi, Armin Strom, Czapek, etc recreations as they must be very expensive to try and r...

There are actually fake factories pilfering PP dress watches, particularly 5127s, 5296s, for the 315 and 324 movements to make them into Nautilus 5711 watches.
