How to Spot a Fake Rolex
Because of the popularity of Rolex, Rolex replica watches are also big business and rolex is of the most pirated brand names in the world, modern technology makes it very difficult to spot the real thing from a fake but there are some tell tale signs.
1)Holograph, rolex watches come with a holograped sticker on the back of the case featuring the crown logo, fakes can be easily spotted because there is no movement when you move the sticker around.
2)Triplock Crown Seal, Some Rolex Models feature an extra seal in the winding tube's threads. Many replicas will completely leave this feature off or possess a fake seal that serves no practical purpose.
3) Clear case back, Some Rolex watches come complete with a skeleton case back where you can see all of the working mechanisms of the watch, if you take a look at the mechanisms a lot of them are embossed with the rolex crown trademark, the fakes do not.
4) Hand Movement - The second hand on a genuine Rolex watch features a smooth and continuous movement that often cannot be duplicated by fake watches. Their movements are often in small, jerky increments.
5) Case Reference Numbers, The serial and case reference numbers can be found in between the lugs on the side of the case. Authentic Rolex numbers are engraved with great detail and are very smooth. The numbers on fake watches will be roughly etched into the case.
