Looks like that Rolex bought 2 watches from Becker Time and inspected them. They found altered dials (stripped, reprinted and jewels added), altered bezels, pieced together bracelets (some real parts mixed in with aftermarket - sold as genuine. This will not end well for Becker Time.

I don't see this ending well for them either, especially if those allegations are proven to be true (which will likely be the case).

For what watches cost these days I'm glad this is happening. It'll hopefully be the signal to other dealers that haven't been the most caring or attentive. I'm in favour of anything that helps protect watch buyers.

I hope they pay dearly, I thought they were scam artists years ago. They're reportedly located somewhere very near me so when a Rolex that interested came up for auction, I contacted them and asked to pick the unit up. They were not agreeable to this at all. I offered to make the cash exchange in the lobby of the Grapevine, TX police department (they listed Grapevine, TX as their location), but they also refused. That was more than enough for this retired cop to cry foul! As far as I'm concerned, he's made a fortune over the years by scamming the unsuspecting, those who trusted the house he built with cards.

I will wager Rolex didn't decide upon this course of action without being absolutely certain. About all I know to say.
