How to Spot a Fake Rolex

by Ashton

The easiest way to tell a Breitling Replica from a genuine one is on the movement. Make sure the movement is automatic AND the chronographs work. How do you tell? An automatic movement has a sweeping second hand. In other words, the second hand does not tick once every second, instead, it sweeps smoothly through a series of very, very fine ticks. To look for genuine chronographs, try to operate them by pressing little buttons on the side. The chronographs should be able to act as stop watches, and NOT just keep track of the seconds, hours and day. Fake chronographs either dont work, or cant act as timers.

The rest of the watches are very hard to tell apart from their genuine counterparts. It is because genuine Rolex watches are so detailed and distinct that even replica manufacturers miss the fine details. The best way is always to get a picture of a genuine watch from an authorized site or catalog, and compare it to the one you are purchasing from. Chances are, there are some differences. For example, on Cartier Replica, the roman numeral markers in a lot of cases are larger than on the genuine ones. The SIZES are by far the easiest things to look for. Almost in every replica in the world, you will notice that even if the engravings/markings are correct, the sizes are always off slightly. Either the roman numeral markers are smaller, the luminescent markers are smaller, or commonly, the minute/hour hands are not the same size and shape.

One major problem found on most replicas is that each replica may be slightly different. This is regardless of whether it is a Swiss, Japanese, or even Asians. Some are made with more markings than others; some are made with more gold plating than others

Fake Rolexes and fake Panerais are very popular currently. I advise all my readers to do their research before buying. Some of the fake Rolexes are very close, and require careful study to identify. If the price is unrealistically low, buyer beware! Replica Watches shows you the ins and outs of counterfeit watches. No more wondering if that Submariner is real or a replica!
