Fake Rolex Detection Guide 101

It’s no secret that Rolex watches are among the most popular luxury watches in the world. They are known for their high quality and precision craftsmanship, which is why they often come with a hefty price tag. Unfortunately, this also makes them a prime target for counterfeiters. In this blog entry, we’ll teach you how to spot a fake Rolex in 5 minutes or less!

Everything so smooth

Rolex is notorious for its extreme accuracy. They never compromise on precision and perfection. A secondary time zone is indicated by the second hand. If you notice that the secondary clock of a second hand makes jerky movements, it is probably a counterfeit Rolex watch.

Rolex ensures that the greatest number of mechanical parts are incorporated into each timepiece to ensure the smooth rotation of the seconds hand. A staggered second hand indicates a quartz-driven mechanical movement. And, as far as we’re concerned, Rolex has never made quartz movements.

Listen!

The first step is to understand how a watch works. First of all, listen for a ticking sound with the watch placed ne

ar your ear. Always remember that Rolex watches are powered by an automatic mechanism. A ticking sound from the watch would indicate the presence of a quartz mechanism.

A fake Rolex, in other words, is a Rolex watch with a ticking sound. This is because an authentic Rolex automatic movement is completely silent, even though it contains 8 micro components. You may proceed to the next step once you have completed the initial assessment of the authenticity of a Rolex watch.

Have a look at the back

If your watch seller tells you that the timepiece you are buying is a genuine Rolex, check the back of the watch. All genuine Rolex watches have a smooth metal back, with the exception of the Rolex Sea-Dweller and certain vintage models made in the 1930s. If you notice that the watch has a translucent back, it is most likely a counterfeit Rolex. Rolex is particularly fond of polishing the back of the watch case to a smooth finish. As a result, they don’t use clear glass in that place. A real Rolex watch, on the other hand, has a nice shiny finish.

Improper crown processing

Rolex Replicas lack the same level of craftsmanship as genuine Rolexes. This is one of the criteria used to determine whether a Rolex watch is authentic or not. There is a tiny etched crown logo at 6 o’clock on all Rolex watches made after 2002. You may need a magnifying glass to see it clearly. Because it is so small, cheaters have a hard time duplicating it. On earlier versions, the crown is at 12 o’clock.

Not water resistant, just waterproof

It goes without saying that “waterproof” is preferable to “water resistant”, and the vast majority of Rolex watches in the Oyster line can survive up to 100 meters under water. If it stops functioning while you’re swimming, leave that fake Rolex at the bottom of the ocean.

Engraved Rolex Serial Number

Every Rolex watch that is made in the factory has a genuine Rolex serial number. Even if a Rolex replica seller can copy the serial number, no scammer can duplicate how Rolex engraves it! The Rolex serial numbers are meticulously engraved on the high-quality and polished metal case. An “etched” serial number on a watch indicates that it is a counterfeit item. If you buy a watch that looks like this, return it as soon as possible.

Straight bracelet is a must

If the Rolex is placed on a flat surface, it should not kink. Over time, the distance between the links may increase, but the individual links should still fit snugly together.

Cyclops quality is a fact

A date display is common in Rolex watches, and a tiny magnifying glass is often used to magnify the display by 2.5X. Cyclops is the name for this small magnifying portion. Every part of a Rolex watch is made from the highest quality materials available. The Cyclops on a Rolex watch has a smooth and polished finish, as you can tell when you wear it. Your fake Rolex may have an unusual appearance because the Cyclops looks different than usual.

That cheap?!

The Rolex brand is known for its unadulterated art in watchmaking. The price of a Rolex watch is not immune to this habit. If you buy a watch from a seller who offers it at an unexpectedly low price, you risk buying a counterfeit Rolex!

It’s also possible that the seller will sell you a counterfeit watch if the quality of the timepiece doesn’t seem to justify a higher price. That’s why it’s a good idea to check prices with another source before making a purchase.

Last but not least

If you belong to that select group of men and are really looking for a Rolex, keep these tips in mind and you will be able to spot a counterfeit from a mile away. And if you’re ever in doubt about the authenticity of your new-to-be purchase, take it to an expert – they’ll be able to tell you in minutes whether it’s genuine or not.

You have now been warned, so stay safe and buy smart!
