On January 8, 2018, the famous Asian watch blog "Watches by SJX" published an article about one of Perezcope's most amazing exposures.

In January 2018, Jose Pereztroika the publisher of the famous horological forensics website Perezcope, exposed a made-up Rolex Daytona Ref. 6239 "Solo" on his Instagram account. The Cosmograph inscription had been removed to make the watch appear more special than it actually was.

"The Instagram sleuth outed a false dial; the auctioneer apologised without reservation."

"Just as the world was settling in for the first weekend of 2018, the watch scholar who goes by Perezcope shook things up. He posted well documented and irrefutable evidence that a Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 sold at Phillips’ first Hong Kong sale in December 2015 had a modified dial, one that had “Cosmograph” erased so as to make it a more valuable – a lot more valuable – “Solo” dial. Jose Pereztroika/Perezcope pointed out the same watch, still possessing its “Cosmograph”, was sold at Antiquorum in 2011."
