For the first, place the watch to your ear and listen for any ticking sound. Rolex manufactured watches are powered by an automatic movement. A ticking sound from the watch would verify the presence of a quartz movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, a Rolex watch with a ticking sound is a fake Rolex! This is because automatic movement in a real Rolex watch is absolutely soundless despite the 8 micro parts included in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Case back <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The authentic watch\u2019s case back is almost always plain metal. Meanwhile, if the case back which allows the watch mechanism to be seen, most certainly you have a fake watch or with the exception of a couple of very rare vintage models produced in the 1930s, can see-through watches made by Rolex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, beware of replica watches that have a clear window with a view of the movement on the back of the watch\u2019s case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshop.r10s.jp\/brand-shot\/cabinet\/wth_6\/wth-1823-4.jpg?downsize=380:*\" alt=\"\u3010\u4e2d\u53e4\u3011\u30ed\u30ec\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30e9\u30fcIIRef.16570\u30e1\u30f3\u30baROLEXEXPLORERII\u3010\u8155\u6642\u8a08\u3011\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong><strong>Winding Crown <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the winding crown on the side of the watch at the \u20183\u2019. The winding crown on a fake Rolex will typically have a basic looking crown to move the minute and hour hands while a true Rolex will have engravings and grooves that are a finely-crafted and can be felt by the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshop.r10s.jp\/brand-shot\/cabinet\/wth_6\/wth-1823-3.jpg?downsize=380:*\" alt=\"\u3010\u4e2d\u53e4\u3011\u30ed\u30ec\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30e9\u30fcIIRef.16570\u30e1\u30f3\u30baROLEXEXPLORERII\u3010\u8155\u6642\u8a08\u3011\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Serial &amp; Model Number Engravings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine to the important part of serial &amp; model number engravings at the case back &amp; between the bezel. Please look closely to the engravings at Rolex etches the model (case) number between the lugs at 12 o\u2019clock and the serial number between the lugs at 6 o\u2019clock. The serial and model numbers on a genuine Rolex are deep and perfectly marked in solid, very fine lines that will shine in the light at an angle like a diamond cut edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily detected the fake Rolex based on the incorrect model case number with a simple Google search. Sometimes, for the cheap grade of fake Rolex watch, there is no stamping or engraving number at all between the bezel. Looking up the model case number will let us see if it corresponds to the same model or a different one. In addition, the numbers on many fake, or replica watches, are typically made up of faint tiny dots due to a lower quality marking process. Another point worth mentioning is that counterfeiters often use the same reference and serial numbers on many watches of different styles.\u00a0All genuine Rolex watches should have reference numbers that correspond to their specific models and configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Movement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of movement make a genuine Rolex are is an exercise in master watchmaking skill. Open the case back and kindly focus on the &#8216;Rolex&#8217; engraved deep, perfectly marked in solid and very fine lines on it. Do not forget to see the caliber number also engraved on the case back. A replica watch cannot match the craftsmanship, dedication, precision, and knowledge of a true Rolex caliber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else to consider is that the majority of Rolex\u2019s watches have mechanical movements, so if you\u2019re looking at a quartz, that could be a red flag since only a very limited quantity of quartz watches throughout their history have been produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Cyclops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cyclops, is the magnifying lens (on the crystal) above the date window on the surface of the Rolex watches. On a genuine timepiece, the Cyclops is convex and magnifies the date 2.5 times for increased readability. Opposite from the fake, the magnification lens is flat and the date isn\u2019t magnified. Please pay attention in every details to spot counterfeit watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also will notice that the Cyclops has a smooth and polished quality to it. If it seems otherwise, it is possibly a fake Rolex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshop.r10s.jp\/brand-shot\/cabinet\/wth_6\/wth-1823-6.jpg?downsize=380:*\" alt=\"\u3010\u4e2d\u53e4\u3011\u30ed\u30ec\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30e9\u30fcIIRef.16570\u30e1\u30f3\u30baROLEXEXPLORERII\u3010\u8155\u6642\u8a08\u3011\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Lettering on the Dial <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On a genuine Rolex, the printed lettering on the dial should be precise with very clean edges (easily seen under high magnification).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it is first manufactured, the dial of an original is more-or-less perfect, so if you see any uneven fonts, inconsistent spaces between the lettering, smudges, and\/or misspellings on the watch then then that is a big red flag, and definitely a sign to start looking further into its authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Fake Rolex have less refined watch details and features. From the printing on their dials to the finishing on their hands and hour markers, every thing about a fake Rolex will not be as well executed as on the real thing. This is why it important to carefully study official photos of the exact model of watch you are intending to purchase. On some watches the hands, dials, and bracelet clasps will differ considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshop.r10s.jp\/brand-shot\/cabinet\/wth_6\/wth-1823-2.jpg?downsize=380:*\" alt=\"\u3010\u4e2d\u53e4\u3011\u30ed\u30ec\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30e9\u30fcIIRef.16570\u30e1\u30f3\u30baROLEXEXPLORERII\u3010\u8155\u6642\u8a08\u3011\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A genuine Rolex is pretty heavy because they are exclusively manufactured from the finest materials in their production process. Also, contains a well-crafted high-quality bracelet, and this adds some extra weight to the timepiece. A counterfeit watch will feel lighter and flimsy due to a cheaper construction and lesser materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Micro-etched Crystal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex began micro-etching a tiny crown logo located at the 6 o\u2019clock position on the crystal at the surface of watch that protects the dial starting in 2002. Since it\u2019s so small, it&#8217;s very difficult to see with the naked eye without the help of a magnifying glass, please look carefully and closely to the surface of the watch and find a tiny crown logo marking for proof of authenticity. Sometimes requires just the right lighting to properly view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This detail makes it difficult for counterfeit watches to replicate and if it can be replicate, this tiny crown logo can be seen clearly without any help from magnifying glass from the surface of watch.  You can determine the watch is fake based on the proof of this tiny crown logo is hard to see and only can be seen through magnifying glass and the right lighting to properly view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex watch is so expensive, before you invest a lot of money to own a Rolex watch, please look carefully the fake vs original Rolex watch article or go to the trusted Rolex shop to avoid any counterfeit watch and determine that the Rolex watch is real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exclusively for luxury watch collector and lover, you must be very familiar with the Rolex.
