    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.

      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.

    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.

    I guessed it right in the first minute. The crispness in the Rolex name and the font/colours was the giveaway. When it came to the engraving details, the small narrow machining I feel no fake watch maker would attempt because it looks aesthetically displeasing and it is riskier. That was my take anyway, the one on the left was a little too try hard with its bold engravings...

      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.

      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.

    The right one is clearly a genuine one. because on the original there is no glare on the glass that makes it harder to see the color gradation (especially on this james cameron edition, where the dial is the whole point).
    The edges of the crown and the micro adjuster were much crispier, and overall finish on the right one is much finer.
    Also, thickness of chrome circles around the hour markers are more accurate, and so on.

    The fact that the pip was slightly higher, thus making it ‘off center,’ for me was the kicker on watch left. The engraving on watch right was impressive, but the fact that the pip wasn’t right was a dead giveaway away for me. IMO.

    @Verwilderd 3 месяца назад +1

    You can easily tell these when side by side (the one on the right is definitely real), but if you’re looking at the fake by itself, it would hard to tell. The markers and lume texture are good giveaways. The crown should be more rounded on the edges vs the fake. Also the engraving is another. You should be able to see the material completely removed to make the letters. On most fakes it looks more like it was laser-etched with some of the metal in the middle of the letter still present…not sure if the guy guessing got the engraving mixed up, but the one on the right was much better. Finally the glass etching of the real one isn’t as good as fakes. The fake watches actually do a better etching than the real Rolex. The crown is much more clear and sharp in the fake.
