How To spot a fake Rolex
In order to save you from these replicas/fakes some useful tips are given here. These are only for assistance purposes. Best results can be obtained only if you proceed carefully.
CASE REFERENCE NUMBERS - Most accurate way to identify a genuine Rolex is that genuine Rolex models have Serial and Case Reference Numbers engraved on the side of the case. This engraving between the lugs is very smooth and catch the light like a diamond cut edge. Such a feature on fakes is either missing or look "sand-blasted" or roughly etched or have uneven/unusual spaces or even repetition of same numbers.
CLEAR CASEBACKS - One of the easiest ways to identify a real Rolex is that Rolex has never made a watch with a "skeleton caseback". Rolex does not make such a watch with the exception of two 1930s vintage manual wind models with glass "exhibition backs" while fakes use a clear display, or "skeleton" caseback.
ENGRAVED CASEBACKS - Genuine Rolex models have a "smooth" caseback free from engraved logos, hallmarks or designs with the exceptions of some ladies' models with original or similar to Rolex design engraved on its caseback and some Sea-Dweller casebacks engraved with "ROLEX OYSTER ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE.
DAYTONA REGISTERS... Genuine Rolex Daytona models have mini-registers on the dial which perform Chronograph "stop watch" functions (i.e. elapsed hours and minutes). The large "sweep" hand on the dial is also part of the stop watch function, and is not the primary second hand-- the second hand for the watch is the small 20/40/60 register. Genuine Daytona have properly marked and positioned registers. While fakes Daytona have smaller and incorrectly sized/marked/positioned registers and their operations will also be incorrect.
HOLOGRAM STICKERS - Genuine Rolex models have a Hologram-encoded (3-dimensional) sticker on the caseback which features Rolex "crown" positioned above the watch's case reference number. The background pattern changes in appearance when viewed from different angles.
DATE MAGNIFICATION - Genuine Rolex date models (except the Sea-Dweller) have a Cyclops bubble attached to the crystal, positioned over the date which offers to magnify the tiny aperture to 2.5 times while fakes magnifies nearly 1.5 time. Fake's bubble is often off-center or made of glass. Some fakes uses larger date fonts to create an illusion of higher magnification.
TRIPLOCK CROWN SEAL - Genuine Rolex Triplock crown (identified by 3 tiny dots engraved under the Rolex "crown" logo) models have an extra seal between the threads of the winding crown's tube and is visible like a black o-ring gasket when the winding crown is fully unscrewed while most of the fakes does not have any similar feature or possess a fake seal which is merely cosmetic and serves no practical purpose as it is not fully functional.
Micro-etched Crystal - After 2002 Rolex began micro-etching their coronet symbol into the crystal just below the 6 o'clock position. The mark is almost invisible to the naked eye but can be identified under magnification and fakes cannot replicate such a precise logo accurately.
Sapphire Composition -Use of regular glass instead of true sapphire crystal makes fake's identification easier. Water surface tension will differentiate a glass from sapphire. A smeared film of water will pull together on sapphire due to the extremely smooth surface.
Size/Shape/ Movement of Hands - The second/minute hands on a genuine Rolex watch are of standard shape and size and have smoother edges and are fine looking. Their movements are smooth/small/continuous and free from jerky increments. And this cannot be duplicated by fake watches.
