HQ Milton listed another fake for sale this week
From 'Perezscope' on Instagram. I can't post the link since I'm a new user here.
This is the second time they have been caught with this in the last few months. The last time was in October, 2020. EDIT: Well not fake, but rather 'franken'. |

Something we never discuss in the Rolex watch forum is anything about fakes.

This is not 'fake' as such. He questions the originality of the 16520-marked case with an early floating dial. The suggestion being it started out as a cheaper 16523. It would appear that these TT watches had matching SS cases, but bezel, pushers, crown & bracelet added the gold.

He claims it is obvious that the reference number was re-engraved - what makes it obvious? What am I missing?

It’s no longer appearing on HQ’s website or IG anymore.

I wonder if HQ Milton will do the right thing and reach out to the buyer and offer a refund.

Instead of calling and advising HQ Milton they have a fake or a franken watch, and then do a take-down piece, ‘Perezscope’ should do what every other journalist does: Contact HQ Milton and tell them they’re the main subject of an article about a franken watch he is about to publish. “And may I have a comment?” Dealers take bad publicity seriously and I’m sure they would have responded to Perezscope, had they known he was about to publish a story.

So I guess we can’t rely anymore on saying “buy the seller,” not the watch.
