Someone in the government should do something about it.
I will report them to the FBI
Cancel them.
little criminals
They need to be stopped
One thing a lot of people don't realize is, there are people who will take a super clone and then do some custom things to it to bump it up even more to look very authentic. Sometimes they'll even buy authentic parts to install in these super clones to make them even closer to the real thing.
yup it’s called frankensteins and will still never cost the same as msrp
As the person above me said. Frankensteins. Take a great superclone, throw on real genuine hands, crystal, dial, sometimes date wheel or bezel if needed. And for just a couple thousand you have an almost identical clone of a 30-40 thousand dollar watch.
Jew greed 101 they even rob each other.
So what you’re saying is buy that clone… change the engraving and crystal, then sell it to Producer Micheal or Happy Jewellers… Adam can do the due diligence / setup a ping pong game for this hypothetical watch.
Was thinking the same thing. If it’s all Rolex parts, but Rolex didn’t build it. It’s still a Rolex. Not a certified authentic one. But still a Rolex.
“Always buy from a reputable watch dealer, like my very dear friend who just got scammed”
but then get money back ;)
😂😂😂
20:37 "Do you want to see something cool?" Perfectly timed birds fly by in the background
if someone is able to re-create the exact same thing, sell it for 1/10th of the cost and still make profit, then it goes to show how overpriced these "luxury" watches have gotten.
True, why pay more if it's that good
Because it’s about the movement and the craftsmanship of the movement, the history of the movement etc.
@@27gw27 when a watch dealer can't tell it apart, and when it's under a microscope and you can't tell it apart, then the craftsmanship is the same. that's my point
@@27gw27yea of course the movement is better but that's a small difference for people who aren't into watches (most Rolex fans in general lmao)
No shit genius. Thats why it is called luxury. Or did you think a luis vuitton bag for example is made from gold ?
ROXELOREX puts some original parts in movement, so that clone is only like genuine
How can you buy these?
@@PA-lj6lg Ali express
@@PA-lj6lg roxelorex watches
Yeh you can swap genuine parts into the movement like the balance to make it even more passable the inside looks the same as the real same movement everything same 904L steel used etc etc

All this video did was encourage people to buy replica watches, which is a good thing. For Rolex to charge 30X the price for the exact same item which can only be told apart under a microscope is absolutely disgusting. Thank you Michael!
Tarvo - That's the buyer's fault, not Rolex. Rolexes are really nice, but after writing a check recently for $50K to pay off my house, I realize that I can't afford a Rolex. Rolex is catering to the rich, so why would they want to sell watches for $500?
I'm thinking about this. I want an Omega Seamaster 300m. I need to know where I can purchase a super clone.
Rolex provides an ego boost for those who need one. My Timex provides perfect time, and I paid $35 for it at Walmart several years ago. It runs perfectly, and I don't chew off my fingernails for fear of losing it, having it stolen, or damaging it beyond repair. The watch runs on a small battery, and I never have to wind it.
@@leecox1513 You have a winners attitude man and I admire that. I run a citizen pro diver myself and don't feel like I'm missing anything, only reason I got that is because of the solar battery it has.
@@leecox1513 People don't buy Rolex watches because they need to tell time. They do it for investment, design, materials, and to feel good.
Difference: 4.09 the circle is perfectly centred on the triangle. At 4.27 on the other watch the circle looks a bit ropey and hits the edges of the triangle.
Good eye, you're right.
My Dad gave me a AAA fake Rolex for my birthday, and he said he would buy me an original one if I was able to use and care for it for 20 years. I wore it every day as it looked very legit. The other day while he was playing with his grandchild I told him, Dad, you don't need to give me an original one, I can afford it myself now. However, I am somehow attached to the one you gave me. It's been 26 years and I have enjoyed it every day. He looked me in the eye and said: Son, you always had the original.
That is a great story!
What did we learn here
You have a cool pop's!😊
lucky you didn't give it away, thinking it wasn't worth much. But your dad did give you the ultimate test. You cared that it was a gift from him, more than how valuable the watch was.
No way.
when crafting the watch, ROXELOREX sets specific parts into motion
report this spam
Right
Glad I found your channel. The odds of me being scammed have come down drastically. Thank you for sharing.
Im just surprised he didn't inspect the movement. Opening the case back usually tells it all...
He wouldn't know how to open it nor have the skill or balls to attempt it even if he did.
So one interesting thing about a deep sea is it requires a special size case back removal tool and since most non AD stores never deal with a deep sea they wouldn't have the tool to inspect the movement. Also you have to send in a deep sea to rolex to service it because the factory has the machine that can certify it to that crazy depth . A service at a AD cannot validate the warranty without this.
ROXELOREX has best watches
How can you find these?
Type roxelorex watches on google

Amazing video guys, very entertaining whilst being so informative thank you!
I own this exact same watch. I knew from the beginning when you showed the marker at the 12 o’clock position… The dot was not centered inside the triangle…. I love my Sea Dweller!
Easy test, just dive to 3900 meters and see which watch still work
Lol
Probably both
Would love to see them test this tbh they do make machines to test such a thing
Both will work to 100m, more is irelevant
There is this small pressure test device u can use it on ur kitchen table, put both inside and increase the pressure, see how
You cant tell and you have a microscope and a real one next to it. Now imagine just walking into a stor and tge fake one is just sitting in the showcase. You would buy it and wear it for life and never know.
And some people do
Except when you have it serviced and its opened up.....
Believe me. You can compare fonts under a microscope but there is still a noticeable quality difference, and above all, the way an authentic Rolex looks under different lighting conditions is different. Fakes do not (yet) have achieved that. You need to swap out the bezel, hands and crystal for genuine parts to overcome that. But that will set you off a couple of thousand dollars.
Ha Ha Ha 20:10 looking for the Rolex crown had me in tears with laughter! LOL
😂
This was so good to watch Michael. I chose the wrong one. I was absolutely gobsmacked! Thank you for posting.
The only time Michael uses his whiskey glass is when the microscope requires a little lifting.))
Superclones like these are why i would never buy from a non AD dealer. I can't tell the difference and alot of grey market dealers can't either.
100% correct
If you can't tell the difference what is the difference?
The price you pay. @@Metal0sopher
@@Metal0sopherthe difference is you pay a significant amount and when you go to sell it you’d get back nothing
or find a sucker and make all the money back anyway, seriously grey dealers have a right to be worried with these fakes floating around now @@alih3123
Hey Michael, what's your view on Nubeo magellan watches? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a limited edition Nasa one but I'm not sure?
3:26 The triangle on the bezel seems to be narrow so the dot feels out of place on the left watch. But I can't tell if it's geniune or not, it just look better on the right watch.
Moral of the story: Save your money from over priced watches lol
Great episode very informative
except for the cameraman shody work and making me sick moving the fkn camera around
Love your respect for perfection, Even Fake perfection! LOL Michael, you are one of my favorite people I have had the pleasure of getting to know through KZhead!
Michael is really having fun through the comparison process 😅😅
Is there a link in the description? Asking for a friend
Google “rolex super clone clean factory”. Said factory is regarded to make the best superclones.
Looks like ARF
waiting for a hero
You can tell from the first shot, real Rolexs anti-reflective sapphire crystal has a sheen(not so clear) to it while the fake one's just clear.
This is exactly what gave it away to me as well. The shine just made it look cheap imo. A Rolex is perfect. And the last thing you'd want is glare stopping you from being able to read the time on your Rolex.
The dial was to blue. And the besel action on the left had a distinct sound.
right then
The lume on the left is inferior so it's the polish and actual manufacture of the fine details I'm 6 and a half minutes into the video and have seen at least 4 different parts of the left watch that are just manufactured lazily, maybe it's because I'm an apprentice jeweller that I'm noticing but they are big differences to me
@@STANDUP47My Rolex is far from perfect.
"I have everything, I like stuff" 🙂 that's honestly one of the most relatable quotes from Michael 😄 So at the start of the video before zooming in on the watches I thought the one on the right was real... let's see if I'm right! 9:29 in and I think they've put a real bracelet on the fake and the real has the fake bracelet to trick us 😉 YES! I was right 😁😁 That bracelet on the real one HAS to be fake! The inner etching is so poor 😅 I actually bought a vintage Two Tone DateJust with box but no papers from eBay after doing A LOT of research on that specific reference, it felt real and looked real when I received it but still sent it for a valuation and the valuation came back tripling what I bought it for 😎 I'm not a reputabilable 😉 dealer, maybe I should have a job at your friends shop 😆
Soon these replica makers will be suing Rolex for copying them.
The person getting scammed is the one paying full price for the original
paying for the craftsmanship, movement years of R and D , Marketing, innovation. run a company one day and you will understand what goes in to making a superior peoduct. Rather than buying cheap wannabe products and thinking you are getting the deal
@@skadoosh4001 This videos says otherwise my friend
@@skadoosh4001 LOL. There's no R&D in mechanical watches. They've been around for centuries. And today are made by modern machines invented for other uses, and simply reprogramed for gears and sprockets.
@@skadoosh4001 If you think Rolex are the pinnacle of horology then you might want to educate yourself.
@@Metal0sopher Yeah that would explain why everyone else can make their watches as durable, reliable and accurate... oh wait...
What about the movement? Balance wheel is the first thing to look at when you open the caseback
Might have been a real movement, he didnt say. A second hand 3135 movement is not hard to find.
What good is two amateurs looking at two watches under a microscope.
I waited in line for over 2 years to be “honored” as a chosen one to buy a DJ41… never again. I know guys that waited 5 years for a Daytona, took the sales rep and his wife to $500 dinners, had them to their homes for dinners done by extremely reputable chefs, and finally went to the grey market. It’s insane the hoops people jump through to get a working man’s watch!
@@rumsfeld99 Whatever turns your crankshaft......
You need to be careful using the bracelet to authenticate a real Rolex. Sometimes they will put a real Rolex watch band on a fake watch case... nice video... 👍🏼
.........and this is important to know.
you need to add a movement comparison
they replicate movement as well, but not to the same quality as the original.
I definitely guesses wrong too. Crazy how authentic these fakes look. Thank you for showing us that gorgeous Meteorite dial under the microscope Michael. That is really beautiful.
Like any game of chess, Rolex is going to have to add some type of unique marker/identifier that cannot be readily duplicated [until the fake product guys figure it out]. I don't know enough about how or what Rolex needs to do, but it is incredible that the fake can fool a dealer who knows how to spot a real Rolex from a fake until now.
" I have everything, I like stuff". Nods, this is the way.
This is the way.
The rolex masterpiece tgats discontinued has to be the best rolex ever made. It looks perfect. Meteorite is a stunning dial wow.
👍 just saw the meteorite Pepsi’s are going for ~$59k!
@@WestCoastAce27 my dream watch is the rolex 40mm masterpiece meteorite dial discontinued.
Producer Micheal video always very interesting the communication with Adam also very nice touch
Amazing clone! I’ve been on the waitlist for a GMT Batgirl for too long, if I found an actual super clone, I’d buy it today! I’m buying for the look of that particular watch.
I used to live in China. Shenzhen. Outside of Hong Kong. There is a five story building that sells nothing but fake copy watches etc. All five floors. Each floor has around 100 little shops. The Chinese are SO good at this. Creating copies. SO good. It’s scary. Very scary.

Don't be scared
dont be scared, the chinese make alot of products you own

Awesome, 25 second ad forced on me right before the big reveal, cheers, appreciated 😑🤣
If there making fakes for 1/10th the price and its that hard to tell... where do you buy one???

The only thing worse than a fake Rolex, ... is a real one. - Jeremy Clarkson 😂
What an absorbing video. well done guys, so informative. So, the upshot is, don't buy a Rolex unless you buy it from the factory!
The AR coating is the most obvious giveaway. Knew at the beginning of the that the left one is fake because of all the glare it gives out. If they fix that you'll literally have the perfect copy
Lots of rep owners will send the crystals out to be AR'd
To be honest, I really wish I could find one of these fakes to buy, as there's no way I will ever be able to afford a real one! If a fake is good enough quality to fool experts, I would be more than happy to wear it 😅
The one on the right, the silver coloured infills on the bezel is perfect. The one on the left wasn't crisp. I seen it immediately.
Stands out a mile.
There's actually a better version than this one available. Funny how far the factories have come along with this- a few years ago it was all about who could mod their bezels with the best platinum fill. There were all kinds of formulas and tricks but today, there's no need for that.
@@TheOtherMisterRogers I always wanted to modify my bezels, but finally quit after years of trying.
It gets to the level where calling replicas bought from igrotum a "clone" is indeed more adequate than "fake".
That is very tempting. Good that I don´t know which store is selling the fake.
A link and a producer Michael promo code for the fake would be awesome!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooo
The easiest way to tell that your newly bought Rolex is a fake is by the price you'd pay for it...😁
probably the dumbest comment i've ever seen.
You are probably a boring person, with the lack of any humour...
2nd @@yamafanboy
@@yamafanboy Not really, you would only pay retail price from an official dealer. Dare say you wouldn't, from your comment!!
I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT YOUR GADGET OUT TO REALLY INSPECT & ENJOY YOUR WATCHES ,
I got it right. Bezel. The trick to spotting the etched crown - just learned this on my Batman - shine a very bright light DOWN from about 12 o’clock towards it.
The Engraving tricked me too, i could have sworn that the right Watch is the fake one... WOW ! I do not understand how they can fake it, that it looks actually better than the real one 🤣
that's only because it's a lens at an angle.
Engraving on a real watch is simply as thin as it gets. They used to do it with a press, so it was not engraved, but simply cut. They wanted to replicate that style on modern watches, so this detail is done with a very thin line. The "E" was simply dirty, but on camera, it appeared wrong.
@@Grigoll....and this is important to those who are clean-freaks.
The question is if they can make them that good why are the real ones so expensive 🤷♂️
Because Rolex is overpriced. It's nothing but branding.
I don't have a slightest clue about watches, I'm an astronomer. And I'm not really impressed by diamonds or rare earth elements such as platinum. But the second I saw that dial (21:05), my brain threw a red flag " wait a sec, aren't these meteorite widmansten lines?" ) That's something I appreciate, after all I found the largest meteorite registered in my country )
4:38 on the left watch or #1 Rolex above the bezel where the watch band meets the bezel there’s a small indentation in the middle, that doesn’t exist on the other watch.Also the round white jewel thing in the middle of the triangle that you were showing is sitting higher, closer to the top on the left Rolex.
I chose correctly. What gave it away for me was when you compared the bezels of both watches. If you look carefully the bezel knurling going around the watch has very slight striations on the left one on the concaves. The watch on the right did not.
The E'S in watch #1 also differ from the real one. "OystER PerpEtual RolEx. Each has different width in the way its spelled and line thickness. hope im right!
My son purchased a super Rolex copy and it was perfect. The giveaway was when the back cover was removed and the balance wheel is compared. There is a huge difference between them but the rest of the movement is the same.
Thanks to you guys we are learning about everything we could not afford😂😂 but love to watch😅
This is why Grand Seiko just can’t be copied unlike Rolex. Its just so hard to replicate fine hair brushing,zaratsu polishing and micro perfection of GS.
True value in GS. Rappers bling Rolex.
Would be nice to know who manufactured such a good rep.
the answer might surprise you. It's the last place you'd think to look.... i'll just leave it there.
Micheal do you service all your watches online with manufacture recommendations ?
You can immediately tell that watch 1 is fake. Just look at those jagged edges on the triangle. 3:35
Yeah, but the real one had real crappy engraving on the clasp too
Any rolex you buy have it serviced by rolex and they will open it up and tell you if its real.
No what you want do is to have the watch authenticated by rolex BEFORE you purchase it.
@@yamafanboy nobody will let you take their watch and bring it to rolex first.
@@yamafanboyare you sure Rolex will supply that service? I’m not. Maybe if you’re a longtime customer (in which case they’d be selling you what you want). The grey dealers who have been in business for 40+ yrs are reputable (not going to disappear overnight) and have in-house experts verifying watches.
I thought Rolexs policy was upon receiving a replica watch was to destroy it .
First second i saw a left one i suspect the left one is repilica- light on the dial show the dial is not FLAT! you can see at 0:27. but of cource I have to wathc to the end to be sure.
It's about time you know about the fakes, i had them for years, the top quality ones, and they're great.
Where are the very best super clones available?
I can always tell fake straight away from the 6 and 9 markers. Fakes have sharp edges and the real Rolex makers have softer, almost rounded edges. Easy to spot and works every time.
You’re so cool lil bro
friendly advice.... don't bet a lot of money on this theory. You will find yourself bankrupt in a blink.
@@yamafanboy find me a rep where this is not true. Even the best 1:1 noobs etc all have this issue.
@@yamafanboy genau so ist es#!!!!!
Rule of thumb in the rep game if details like lazer ingraiving. The reps are usually much crisper.
The crystal was an instant tell the first second you showed them to us. The fake itself is far from perfect, although you've tried to insinuate otherwise. These models are considered imperfect in the replica world, just because there is not a lot of buyers for them. You should source yourself the all black VSF submariner and compare it to gen :) For entertainment purposes obviously.
why copy a watch brand if you're that good?
because the value of the watch is the brand, not the materials or manufacturing
The watch mechanism is different they can't replicated it's too expensive to do that
Butt boy

The last watch i bought from AliExpress was the steeldive 6105. Aways looking to add to the collection, winning a watch is always good. 👍🏼⌚️
I've watched your videos for years and noticed today that I've not seen a video of yours in months! That I had been unsubscribed from your channel. Just thought I'd let you know. Have a blessed day ❤
This shows how unnecessary it is to buy expensive watches
so a 5 thousand dollar watch isn't expensive? Or you thought these fakes were cheap?
Right so where do we buy that from then ?
It's always about machining because putting the excellence of Rolex in machining and finishing costs the money they ask for. Bezels was enough to tell it was a fake + color different. It gets tricky with frankensteins.
Engraving aside as that nearly swayed me back the left dot got me suspicious of left.
I was once scammed by rolex too. I went to my local AD and asked for a steel Sub. Sure, they said, it will be 3 years on a waiting list. It was around 7 years ago.
A long time ago I was in a poker game and one player said he has a real Rolex. Another player showed his Rolex and then smashed it strongly to the concrete wall and said can you do this with your Rolex
I bought a black dial, 2 tone stainless/gold 'AAA' Sub back in 1999 and it cost me $US870 and I still have it and it still looks very nice. I've had it serviced a couple times and the watchmaker said the movement was of good quality and it still keeps time within about 3 sec/day.....but its NOT the real deal and I never tell anyone that it is.
.......and now, the secret is OUT! My advice is to sell the POS watch, buy a classic car and splurge on a nice dinner in a flashy Hollywood restaurant. Who knows......you might even be offered a part in a B-Movie.
The 'ever so slightly' rough edges on the hands was the first giveaway. Then the pip being slightly high , then the 'rough' finish on the grooves of the bezel. This is a great rep but the standard Submariner reps are now even better. The price point is about $700 USD for one of these which is still a very expensive watch for a normal person.
coo, got it right from just the grooves on the bezel, knew it 100% once i saw the clasp, funny how Adam said perfect, but to me it was 100% fd lol..
Very good advices for watches.
Clearly the fake watch on the left has a lower quality bracelet which looks not so aligned, the green writing is also not in correct scale
The fake one looked better than the real one, at least externally. It'd be interesting to see what internals look like between the two.
Michael flexing with a meteorite on his arm😂🤝🔥🔥
There are so many good fake Rolex watches around, so if you're wearing a Rolex most people will just assume it's not real.
My goodness! I too thought that "Right" was the fake due to the lack of clarity of the "Rolex" wording. Would have been incredibly interesting to see the movements! Have they literally mechanically cloned a Rolex?
I got a fake that I bought downtown Los Angeles over 40 years ago, but back then you just looked for how the second hand moved.
Inside job Rolex has a rogue employee or employees operating within that company.
