Thanks for the feedback guys! If you want to dig deeper into the whole thing, here are two in-depth articles I wrote on the history of the Sea-Dweller:

https://perezcope.com/2020/05/27/the...ressing-watch/

https://perezcope.com/2020/06/28/the...up-with-comex/


And here's something unusual, a Single Red Sea-Dweller "dwelling" in Space (inside the Space Shuttle)

Hi Jose,

Have read both those articles and deep down the rabbit hole currently.
Did you know that Monochrome watches have updated their article to admit the Sea Dweller is fake?
However I don't think they have much class in the admission. Furthermore looks like the original seller also thought it was fake!

No surprise Antiquorum right in the middle of it!

Yes, I knew. Frank Geelen of Monochrome watches had the chance to be on the right side of the issue but he chose to ignore the matter in order to protect his client. After my article came out, he was of course super angry as he was left looking like a fool in front of the entire watch community. Instead of doing the right thing, namely admitting his mistake and moving on, he chose to throw mud at me, playing directly into the hands of the Rinaldi counterfeiter gang (incl. Antiquorum) that invented all those bs stories.

Cheers
