"We do not offer watches unless we are 100% satisfied about their authenticity," a Phillips Spokeperson wrote via email to Hodinkee. "Until last week, nobody had ever suggested this Omega watch was not authentic, the watch was inspected by specialists, experts, and even the manufacturer at the time of the sale and nobody raised any concerns over it."

Lol blatant lie as Perez blew the whistle in April and they tried to silence him with lawyers.

“Omega and Phillips are said to be victims of alleged fraud involving former Omega employees”

HODINKEE is a joke!

This incident and the reporting or lack there of, goes to the core of the rotten apple that is the watch world at the moment.
HODINKEE reported on it today. Check out their website if you haven’t already. I am Not familiar with the backstory but their article appears well documented. I agree that HODINKEE has become mostly an online watch retailer since Ben sold it.
