The best Rolex 1:1 clone Submariners are getting harder and harder to spot. So this is how to spot a fake Rolex. And what to look out for on a counterfeit Rolex and stop you getting scammed by a Folex.

Cancel ziarex and mega clone watches. They are destroying the whole community of original watches and becoming a threat to the economy and dignity of Rolex.
Good because a watch shouldn’t cost more than your car
Good. Lmao cope
@@bdoubleu6😂
Someone in the government should do something about it.
This is a serious problem, we must react
That videos watch is a mere imitation, not a real clone. Ziarex replica watches are on next level.
Why would you even want a fake? Buy a real Seiko instead if Rolex is too expensive.
I was skeptical at first, but they pass every security check.
I can't buy not even in dream☺
They are criminals from Europe, making the best replicas with the same serial code, but that does not mean you should order it.
ZiaRex has relations with the Italian mafia, it was in the news. From Italy, they ship them all over Europe and the UK.
In the end, a new era of watches has come. Some illegal company from EU started making mega clones called ziarex. Basically, what they are doing is buying original parts from workers in Rolex who flag that part as damaged and sell them. But thats not the
If you could own a replica Lamborghini for 30,000 $ and it was just as fast , had the same horse power , same built quality and only the dealership could tell that it was not real , would you buy one ? That’s the real question
Greetings from China, we have passed your video on to our production department. Thanks for the tips
😂😂😂
Love it!
Nothing will change they still need to make them cheap. Cheap won't feel good
@@alfredough Why pay more money just for a brand when a Chinese guy in his backyard can make the same thing? Why do you worship corporations like Rolex,
Hilarious! Maybe attach the engineering group as well to the memo!
After owning a GMT and OP for almost 10 years I wanted to get myself a Hulk for my 60th birthday, about 2 weeks later I came across a page about high end clones and decided to give it a try. Once came I compared it to my original GMT (in terms of quality, feeling of the steel etc), I understood one thing, China can't be beaten. There is no chance ANYONE will be able to spot it as a fake, Even the inside movement is identical. The build quality and finish put a lot of legitimate Swiss brands to shame.
Where did you get it from? Asking for a friend 🤣
@@stevekannan6076 Thanks! On Instagram?
@@andrewdoe3488 Yes
Exactly, I’m starting to think it’s pointless to pay all the extra money for the real one when you get all the benefits with the fake one anyway.
@@laroyrichardson it is. Only people who spent the money will cry around about it, because their balls hurt, since they wasted their money
Videos like this makes me feel like crying when I look at my account balance 😢
With due respect, I feel insulted by your comment, my comment wasn’t intended to be a joke 😠
Oh my God, I am so happy to hear this here, I got introduced to Mr. Alberto some two weeks ago, it still feels like a dream, so far I have made over $7,000 trading with him, at this rate I am sure I am on my way to becoming a millionaire.
I will only accept your apology under the condition that you will introduce me to him and I too will start making profit
Thanks for the help everyone, I will contact him immediately 👍
I had a great watch buying experience with Sheldon this week. He responded quickly to my inquiries and shipped the watch out immediately. It even arrived one day sooner than expected. Thank you for being excellent to work with. Would do business with you again in the future.
Omg I can't stop looking at my wrist just exactly what I wanted right in front of me and the delivery was excellent thank you sheldon.
I'm still waiting for a panda hopefully sheldon would put a call through 😁
My wife loves her Batgirl definitely one of her best birthday gift thank you sheldon
Love my Starbucks certainly not my last and still saving for a GMT
Please can you please share his contact?
Adrian you’re right I’ve seen this video before! It is worth watching again to help us clarify fake from real . Thanks again for putting out excellent content. Watch lover from across the pond .
Swissarex for the win! 🥇
bot comments from scammers for the win
Agree with everything apart from the smoothness of the winder especially on the older models. I purchased two Submariner 16610 in the early nineties and they were definitely not smooth to wind or change date. I had the same with a ladies Rolex in 1997 all went back to Rolex to be sorted but were never that smooth.
I bought a clone Rolex in Shanghai for $700 and took it to the Rolex store whilst still in Shanghai. I asked the sales lady to check it and tell me if it was fake. She observed the movement, felt the weight, even looked at the serial number and later informed me it was real (Provided she never opened opened the watch to closely inspect the movement.) So they must have improved their quality as I left the store laughing to myself as I honestly couldn't believe it.
Sales staff aren’t very knowledgeable.
@@BarkandJack or she probably lying..
Nowadays they'll tell you they don't have the equipment to verify it but they'll be more than happy to send it to Rolex for further inspection.
@@MrKacperk and never get your watch back haha
@@BarkandJack Rolex boutiques or Rolex authorized dealers don't open watches ever and don't really inspect them too much. they send it to their service centers and there your watch will be confiscated and destroyed.
I would watch videos of you reading the instructions that come with Ikea furniture. Great content, thanks! Love your Kermit by the way, it's honestly better with the scratch in the bezel. Just adds character!
Tons of authentic Rolex’s have blue AR under the crystal. There’s actually 2 types of crystal variations from the watches I’ve purchased over the years (3 genuine GMTs from the same AD). This is not indicative the watch is fake. Sloppy magnification? Yes.
What I learned from this video is that it would be utterly pointless for me to waste my money on a real Rolex, because I can barely tell any difference, and the few differences I can actually spot, I just don't care about ... certainly not enough to waste thousands of my hard-earned money.
Exactly. It tells the time, looks good. That’s enough.
I bought a Rolex a few years ago. Now I could sell it for thousands more than what I payed. How is that a waste?
Appreciating asset
They are even better than the one on the video
I think you've missed the point. If you don't care about spending the money, there are very nice watches at almost any price point. It's more about being a poser and contributing to the theft of a high end brand's intellectual property. Why not buy a nice Seiko 5 or something if you don't personally see the value in more expensive watches? Seiko has a LOT of great stuff.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it really helps to identify a copy vs authentic! Keep posting
Where is the site url to order
Will enjoy hearing the back cast regarding how this all pans out in the end. Interesting data collection opportunity.
This is excellent. Before I retired, as a retired senior Customs Officer in the UK I saw many, many fake Rolex watches and over time they got better but there are still differences, as your video shows. I will never forget the face of passengers who correctly came to declare their new Rolex at the airport and we identified the fake they had unwittingly bought.
You let them declare a loss? And keep the watch ?
@@majordelays4909 It is only illegal to import counterfeit items commercially. Within limits, You can bring in a single fake for personal use. Expensive watches have to be declared, cheap watches are of little interest, subject to the comment about commercial use. I don't follow your question about declaring a loss, sorry.
@@Crusty_Camper thanks for your response. I was meaning if they paid £16k for a bargain Daytona (Greytona if you will) then they presumably have a loss of £15.5k in value, I was being a little flippant in all honest but wondering if they could class that as a loss (capital gains).
@@majordelays4909 Ah Ok, thanks. In Hong Kong a fake Rolex is about £40 ( maybe $50), so it is quite a loss !
What do you mean they came to declare it at the airport? lets say they went to china for vacay bought a fake one and tried to declare it as real ? or they just ordered it through a website which wasn't based in the EU. sorry for my bad english :)
I wore a rolex daytona replica a few years ago. And it caused a few people around me to be impressed looking at my watch from afar. But I'm always honest, when someone came to me and told me that I have a really nice watch. I just told them that it's actually fake and I got it for $30. I'm not trying to impress anyone, or making people think I'm posh or into luxury items by fooling them with a fake Rolex. I just like how the watch looks. It was an automatic movement and lasted 8 years on my wrist. I only stopped wearing it when I accidentally dropped it and the entire movement was broken. So I end up switching to a genuine Longines Conquest Classic which looks similar to the Daytona.
To be honest, an invicta pro diver has the same effect on people. It looks nice at a glance, it gets compliments, and when people ask what it is I can just say what it is. I don’t have to lie or explain that it’s fake.
Lol, imagine buying a $20K watch and having every person ask you if it is "real".
Excellent video,thank you. I learned I’m risking buying a Rolex from a private seller when every fake you showed tricked me 🤦🏻♂️ definitely need to have it in your hand to really tell when your inexperienced at all the other tells.
Adrian - Love the content in all your videos; keep up the great work. Just curious about your choice of video sponsor (won't mention name), they appear to get good praise from you and other YT creators. Still, I find them incredibly unresponsive to email and phone inquiries, making it very difficult to trust them as a reputable dealer. Based upon online reviews, I don't appear to be the only one with this experience. I realized this might be a difficult topic for you to provide feedback, but I wanted to get your thoughts and let you know if you weren't aware.
1. Gens are known to have blue tint as well 2. Gen rehaut is not always necessarily lined up 3. 1:1 high end reps cost ~$500 4. Newest repilca movements can be directly replaced with gen parts 5. Fully franken'd reps with fully replaced movements, dials, and hands cost around $3-5k. This seems like a lot, but not when your paying 10% of buying a new one. Respect for reps, gen is always better
Definitely not, considering you can see warping on the genuine clock arms.
@@AZEOforreal i swear that i saw a comparative online and the rep had many many things that were actually more refined than the gen, is crazy how good they are now!
I think I read wrong
@@mrs1986 Yep and it shows how much these watches could be made for and still draw a profit. There are many watch channels where they take offense at the idea that a lot of the price of swiss watches is because of market speculation and as a store (and show) of wealth...they insist it is a real reflection of the cost of high horology. Well then, how can you copy one, even improve some parts and make a profit on a few hundred dollars?
Agreed, blue tint on a gen is not uncommon.
Great video, one thing I really find very unique to Rolex is the ticking sound, it is very distinguished from cloned ones.
Best comparison. Thanks this was very helpful.
You forgot to add, if a watch is old and hasn’t been serviced in a long time, winding the crown can also feel pretty bad. It is still a genuine watch. Just needs servicing.
Lol at The discount code - have you actually looked the prices that these clowns are trying to charge people ?……great that you’ve done a video helping people spot fakes , ironic that you’ve then pointed them towards your sponsor who will happily rip them off …..90k for a John Mayer Daytona ….wow ….that’s only about 33 percent higher than market price …..platinum baguette Daytona - 130k ? about 20k over priced. Frightening .
I was in the market for a Pelagos so had a look at Chronext and saw them charging £3200 for used...just £200 less than new. I mean, why would you?
@@seyerus I m a dealer, work in Hatton and those prices are not just ridiculous but daylight robbery, I hope no one is silly enough to buy from them.
They are even more expensive than watch finder and that's saying something!!! lol
Scalper is as scalper does. How ironic that this channel drives us in the direction of scalpers? Who are the crooks now: the purveyors of unabashedly outright fakes or scalpers trying to take the mickey out of you? Nobody gets to buy any watches from ADs because scalpers are the ADs' "preferred customers" and get them first leaving nothing for others. It is a collusion to create artificial scarcity through hoarding. Rolex Geneva are to be blamed for this because they allow the same few preferred customers aka scalpers to buy the watches again and again ad infinitum.
Could you do a video on the different tiers of fake Rolex? My fake submariner (gifted to me 10 years ago and still working fine) seems to be a much better copy than the one featured in your video and I'm wondering if it's worth anything. One thing you didn't mention was the easy link adjustment on the bracelet. My fake doesn't have easy link adjustment, but for that, my bracelet seems to be really well copied and the crown logo etch at 6 o'clock on the crystal was very difficult to spot even with magnifying glass, but it's there.Thanks for the info on the line-up of the R's and X's with hour marks - mine definitely failed that test.
My uncle, on a trip to Mexico, was stopped by a street vendor selling Rolex watches. The watches were for sale at 9 dollars (USA). Superficially the watches were made to resemble Rolex watches in appearance with the heft of case and band. Amused, knowing that these watches had to be fake, my uncle bought one of them. When he took the watch home, he laughed at his purchase for even the name Rolex was misspelled 'Rolix' on the watch face. Nevertheless he often wore that watch, being careful not to get it wet; and amazingly its cardboard works kept fairly good time. He still breaks out that watch time to time to tease or test someone.
Will you be reviewing the Omega world timer soon?
I’ve seen the blue hue in the Gen cyclops, also the AD confirmed is perfectly normal.
I was once gifted a rolex for 3 years i took special care keeping it ,i even use to avoid wearing in crowded area and then i was told its $300 replica 😁 but it was fun as i am not found of wearing brands so never noticed anything
I bought a high end replica for 500 bucks and it’s super solid. I use it everywhere without worrying about scratching it and so on . Has sapphire/ ceramic and everything else like original . Starbucks 41mm . No way in hell would I pay double retail price . So this was the best option ,
link?
Where did you get it from?
Yeab link?
So the only way to truly ensure you are buying a real Rolex is to get one from an AD... but you can't unless you are on a "list" and willing to over pay. 🤔
With regards to the cyclops with the blue tint, you do find it in the real thing. Especially with some YM and DJ.
Thanks for taking time and enlightening the viewers. I have seen some super clones from Ziarex which are impossible to distinguish from the real ones . I believe , Rolex is moving towards precious metals because of this reason .
Thanks for the information. Does Rolex have patent number on the back of the watch face?
Hi Adrian, Completely off topic, where did you (can I ) get your nice wooden box shelves that you display your old cameras in?
I found it in an antiques warehouse in south London.
@@BarkandJack Looks like I’m making them myself then, as I’m in Dubai. 🤦♂️
Now imagine if there is a waitlist for fake Rolex 😅😅😅
I know you didn’t spell Rolex ROLX.
5:11 have a fake one, but do all rolex watches have it etched or only some versions?
Hi Adrian, its a great video and I found it very informative. However, I would like to bring to your attention about the cyclops lens. I recently picked up a Submariner (and I know for a fact that its genuine cos I managed, finally, and thanks to damn good luck, got it from my Authorised Dealer Hour Glass in Singapore. The Submariner Cyclops Anti Reflective coating has a slight blue tinge to it, and its not completely clear. Perhaps its due to the 2023 version 126610LN? What are your thoughts on this?
This just makes me want a spring drive grand Seiko. Good luck faking that sweep of the second hand.
@Daniel Brice oh yeah I forgot. You'll only get robbed for your real or fake Rolex. Even more reason to get literally any other much better watch for less.
I have a lot of knowledge about the high end replica industry and there is not a single GS replica that would fool anyone knowing what it is. That is why I own one too.
or good luck mimicking the hand finished case
@@te86a or the complex dials and hands
@Daniel Brice BINGO
Funny how Rolex not having great finishing makes them more difficult to differentiate from fakes. Like. 🤔
Spoken like a clueless person but thanks anyway.
Chrome t, do they actually hold the watches that are on the site for sale? How do they guarantee the watch3s are genuine if not?
This video helps me a lot actually. I don't and have no need to wear a wristwatch. While viewing this video I realised that I can never be exposed to the world of fake watches, nor genuine examples either and so minimising stress living on planet Earth - one less thing to worry over.
Isn’t this a bit risky given how KZhead is removing content… 👀 Brave move though for the public good 👍🏽
The problem there are so many arguments on social media platforms are : people try to be smart, telling others they are right the others are wrong. Case in mind, if you think fake is good, get one and stop telling the genuine owners they are stupid for wasting money. Likewise, do not try to educate others for being unethical wearing fake watches. It will be a more peaceful world if everyone is humble .
In part i agree you but if we do that there wouldnt KZhead videos like this😅, a world without arguments would be very simple and boring
I'm watching because I'm interested in looking at nice looking watches, but I love your vintage camera collection
I once was into watches for seven years, 20 minute informative video on Rolex watch
Isn't the existence of regulator arms, or hairspring lengthening mech on the movement still the quickest, foolproof sign of a fake Rolex?
I think Adrian has missed the biggest giveaway of a fake by not highlighting this.
Isnt there a super fake that has addressed this aswell?
@@mickeydee3595 Maybe, I haven't seen anything on one
@@ChrisAlvarezAlvarezImaging yeah from memory one of the Chinese fucktoria's have made a 1:1 clone of the Rolex movement. Even to the point where counterfeit parts are interchangeable with genuine and vice versus. Ill wait for somebody else to chime in and confirm it to be 100% sure before taking it as gospel
@@mickeydee3595 You're referring to a movement that appeared as a 1:1. The regulator arm was hidden in a way making it look genuine, yet incredibly hard to regulate. The factory was raided and shut down a few months ago but many others are copying the technique as of August. At this point the only "tell" in a super clone is whether or not the balance spring is blue.
About the movement being smooth and buttery while being interacted through the crown-- you need to take the age of the watch into account. My 14-year old datejust has started showing some signs of aging (it still is a great watch, don't get me wrong), and it is not as smooth as my other, newer watches. 3135 is known for small jumps of minute hands while setting which makes it difficult sometimes to accurately set the time.
sounds like it needs to be serviced.
Only 14 years old and it’s showing signs of going bad? For a 30k Rolex, that’s not good at all.
@@multiblade04 it literally never stops moving. Would you let a car go that long without refreshing the lubrication? A quick cleaning and re-lubrication isn't uncalled for after a decade and a half.
Which watch maker is the best in finishes?
I broke a lens in my dad's role x watch and it's got the little Crown download. The Bonnie I was just wondering how much what it cost to get affects.
Careful you don’t get your channel suspended talking about fake watches by KZhead. That would be a disaster. Love your channel. 👍🏻 🏴
There is only one great advantage to the best fakes out there. They show you straight away that a rolex isn't worth it's RRP price let alone grey market
An item is worth whatever a customer is willing to pay for it. If someone is prepared to pay $X it is worth $X.
This goes for any major brand but I agree with you. The reps are literally 1:1 these days, only disadvantage is you cant resell them for more like the legit ones
picked up 2 watches on a clearance job.. rolex and a richard mille. likely have to go to a jeweler??? do they charge to authenticate mate
Perfect blend of form and function.
When I was in High School, I was about 17 years old, I was given a fake Rolex. I thought at the time if they have the skills to make a fake Rolex, why not just make a legitimate watch. I believe my fake Rolex fell apart in about a year which answered that question. But, fake Rolexes have come a long way.
Nope. %95 of a Rolex price you pay for the brand. If you tell Rolex company "make the same watch and print Darren Lincoln on it", no one will buy it.
This is why I bought my sub date from an A.D, when you could actually buy a steel sports, without waiting five years.
if you have a good relaionship with an AD you'll never have to wait that long. I bought a Deep Blue in April 2017, my first conversation with the AD was October 2016.
Can you suggest any super clone watches brand!
Top-tier craftsmanship!
If you've got 600 pounds in your pocket then the Steinhart ocean one 39mm premium in 904 steel is a better shout! Not everybody's "cup of tea" , but, good finishing and movement.
It is garbage compared to some replicas that cost half though.
Steinhart means hard as a rock.. That just doesn't sound like a serious watch brand to me
Thank you very much for the information. I’ll at least go and take a look and see if there are any reviews 👍
Be aware when ordering from a website🤔 Often they use images of real watches, but what you get is often a bad copy. Also be aware about reviews, because also reviews can be made up reviews from the seller themselves.
Sorry I have a question about fake Rolex or Replica. So is it ok or accepted by the community if i build my own really rare Rolex? Because firstly i cannot find it nor have I seen a real one and secondly usually the ones I see on google photos are not in the best conditions. In my case, I am talking about the 1016 Space dweller. Thanks!
Questions about laser etched vs Engraved etched ? Did they ever engrave the ROLEX and when did Laser etching start?
1.37. Absolute Shocker. Why do people part with north of £7k for these average at best watches. Beyond me. I guess Rolex rest on their laurels these days.
its something you just have to feel.
More reasons to get a Grand Seiko now, highly doubt anyone besides Grand Seiko themselves can produce product at such precision and quality....What a shame for Rolex
Sure they can, but GS are actually available to buy at retail. I would buy a sub or a daytona at the Rolex AD , if they let me!
Yup, the detail and movement of a Grand Seiko is so difficult to replicate that nobody has tried. You might get cheap and awful ones but the higher end rep makers just don't bother.
Thanks for the review its was quite awesome
Absolutely top-notch!
I'll be honest, I bought pretty much this exact fake watch, really to see if I wanted to buy the real thing. I didn't in the end and got a GMT Master II Black. I still use the fake on holiday and it keeps great time and has no issues with salt water or the pool.
Yeah, youtubers always leave out the important part when make Fake watch content: people buy fakes knowingly and willingly because they want to up their image! And most fakes, I’m speculating, are sold as fakes anyway… To be a devils advocate: maybe fakes are what takes to change the status quo we have with perceived “shortage”. Flood the market with good fakes, so the sport models are not desirable anymore. People like me, I paid 17k for “Cermit”, or investors will suffer the price drop, but I just don’t see how to change the status quo.
Where did you buy your replica?
Where did you buy GMT master?!
And herein lies the problem of identifying fake watches (not just Rolexes). Unless you are 3 inches away, have a good quality loupe, and the genuine watch right next to you, it is almost impossible to identify a fake from 3-6 feet away when worn on the wrist. Especially when the wrist is in motion. AB could be wearing a fake on his wrist during this recording and there is no way to tell (However, I don't believe he is).
Timeless elegance at its best.
Note that rehaut was engraved pre-2015, so that would depend on the year of the watch. Any modern watch will have the laser etch.
you know what, im gonna watch it all over again.
Haha. Thanks buddy 🙌🏻
I loved the intro before and it still made me laugh today! You are indeed a Horological Superhero! The only pause for thought is you must wear your underpants over your trousers! A challenging look I feel! 😂
Hahaha.
The original one does it stop clocking? And showing the actual date?
Safest way is to not buy a Rolex, period. Even real rolex watches are "fake" luxury + mass produced watches... They are also "fake" tool watches with minimal or no AR coating.
Yup, that is my recommendation as well. Desire is an acquired thing that is cultivated in us by ads and influencers. We are groomed to want these things. You can just as easily "unacquire" it by not desiring it. Problem solved. There is no status value in a Rolex if you do not value a Rolex as an object that has any meaningful import. I put the money in the stock market instead.
Thank you Adrian. I love Rolex and I'm on a list for the Pepsi at the moment. My Dad bought me a 1603 in 1975 - £206 at the time. If that watch had increased with inflation it would today be £1800. Try and buy a steel Rolex datejust for that today! I hope Rolex are not going along the 'Patek' route and trying to price out the normal punter as some experts think.
They already did
Dr
And do you think that they improved their watchmaking quality a hundred times since then? Because they are charging about 100 to 200 times as much as back then. All these Swiss watchmakers would have gone out of business thanks to quartz if they hadn't reinvented themselves as "luxury toy factories" for bimbo proles. The reason why you are paying these ridiculous prices is artificial shortage. 2500-3000 would be a realistic price for such a watch. Why? The Chinese can make a perfect copy and sell it to you at half that price for a good profit, that's why.
I have a Rolex made in the early 1970s. Would it have the etched crown logo at the 6 o'clock position?
no only watches post 2012 have those. on old watches the way to tell is to go to a AD.
You have convinced me that spotting a fake rolex / other watch is so difficult and uncertain - that anyone would be a fool to buy an original - as you could never be sure. Youd pay 8-20x the price and still never really know. Why bother? Whilst Id always want an original - this video has taught me I could never be sure - they are just too good now
reps are just too good for the amount you save. This one has a rather poor finished movement as well, and maybe not 1:1 cloned. But in the same $600 tier of reps, you can get much nicer cloned movements with high detail finishing.
Good tip ,don't get one with a Cyclops
Brave mate! Brave! hahaha love it!
A true work of art.
Exquisite craftsmanship!
Ok. so idk about Rolex. but with JLC you literally get an online login details associated with your watch serial number. So you can can be sure it's a real thing... You can also transfer the serial number to someone else if your decide to sell your timepiece.. Can't they just do that? this is the 21st century.
The crypto Vechain is working on this for all luxury items
@@TravisGondo that’d only work for new watches.. the ones in circulation now won’t be able to just suddenly be traceable.. the ones with paperwork and COAs perhaps
@@natureboyricflair8555 well that would go for almost anything that was on the market prior to that tech being implemented in their production
Imagine watching this video and realizing you paid for a fake and not a real one 😳
I'd buy a Steinhart sooner than a replica, though I understand the appeal. I just don't understand why you wouldn't go for something Swiss as an alternative if you wanted a "Rolex" in the first place. Furthermore, I'm positive they don't pressure test any of these replicas so if you ever wanted to take it swimming or to high altitudes, good luck. Also they're modelling them after the 41mm sub which has the worst dimensions of any sub released by Rolex. Not my thing.
Quality that speaks for itself.
If that was a no date, it would be impossible to identify with the naked eye in someones wrist.
the sweeping of the movement is a very easy tell. fakes tend to also tick so if you have good ears you can tell
If people are happy lying to themselves, the problem is their own. I bought my genuine Rolex years ago and if I ever needed to prove it, have the full set, paperwork and receipts. The idiots can't 😄
This video makes an excellent tutorial for anyone contemplating watch work. Of course less complicated items are more straightforward. The tiny lever springs are capable of flying off into the distance without careful handling. The person handling the watch was obviously very experienced, however, I would suggest anyone starting out places springs , cocks and screws into their individual groups, time consuming but avoids puzzles later.
Is a watch a good investment?? If so where best to buy one, I.e the less mark up the better
Unless you are in the 1%, I wouldn't consider watches an investment. Most watches that sell for multiples above their retail prices are usually watches that even well off people have trouble getting. APs, Rolex Daytonas, etc
It`s more or less simply the find the differenz, if you both watch to compair. If not, is difficult the to see the differenz.
Not a fan of fakes but it is kinda sad what they can do for 500$ and you need to pay 8000+ ….
$7500 for marketing purposes
I do garage sales and in the last couple years I've found 5 fake Rolex watches. The only reason the people sold them was they stopped working. I paid from $1 to $3 each as I recall. There seem to be tons of them out there. Most buyers are "middle class" people who really couldn't care less about having a genuine Rolex. Some even joke about their "Chinese Rolex." After studying the situation I no longer think most fake Rolex buyers are trying to fool anyone. I think it's more about laughing at people who waste so much money on a vanity item. They're mocking the wealthy or those who are pretending to be rich.
Simply unmatched in style.
Received mine today! Really happy with it. my friend who resells real ones could barely see the difference
He's your friend and being nice to you lol
My homage does not try to be a Rolex, but looks and wears well. ☺️
Its a rip off
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as the saying goes. Flaunt your Homage with pride. Rolex Geneva deserve their comeuppance for creating this situation of artificial scarcity afforded to scalpers. How are scalpers able to get their hands on Rolex watches when the ordinary man can't? I can only conclude that the ADs are in collusion with scalpers, splitting profits between them.
You’re definitely selling them on the side
all the people that make fake rolex will learn from this video good stuff for them so they will make the fake ones even more believable THANKS
where to buy this exact watch ? please provide me the link . thank you
I can source you one, are you still interested
