For those commenting below me, I'm not sure you understand the point. The sellers of fake watches don't care about a few minor screw finishing missed on the inside of the watch case. The reason they don't care is twofold. 1- they have it close enough, so the average fake buyer (who is not a perfectionist, or else they wouldn't settle for a fake) is satisfied. 2- they can sell updated versions of their fake watch as they fix the minor issues. 3- I realize i said two, but this is important: it's a matter of economics. They simply cannot replicate the EXACT finish of a $12,000 hand finished swiss timepiece in a chinese factory. it simply cannot be done.
China has better copyright laws now they even ceased the production of the land wind crossover which was an almost carbon copy of the range rover. While the quality of the replicas have increased a good bit the price has increased dramatically because it got harder to distribute and real parts are being used. To make a perfect replica it will cost no less than half the price and nobody would buy it because of the chance that the difference would be spotted later and make the watch worth nothing. Rollexes hold value pretty well and some models even appreciate.
you know what "fake" iphones are, right? >iphone produced in excess by foxconn >instread of being destroyed it's sold and rebranded, flashed with android and a sticker, sold 100bucks on ebay. >every bit of electronics is apple inside what's the point of calling anything a fake when it comes from the same factory. as for the watch, I would prefer to invest hundreds in a decent watch made in swiss that gives time (Tag, or Swatch) rather than an imitation of something just to say "muh rolex yo wotch muh rolex nigga" it's good to know at least my swatch will outlive that rolex the same way my blackberry outlived several generations of iphones.
Switzerland will never see my money with its overpriced, series-made watches. I prefer to buy a Chinese own brand or a Japanese brand like seiko or citizen. Fuck Swiss !!
Saj Ryder No. The fake will never have the actual genuine movement. It will never have the exact same quality of finishing and it will never have real precious metals and it will never be worth anything. The original is cash on your wrist. You can convert it to cash immediately in any major city around the world. It is easier to copy these steel versions but is impossible to copy a gold or platinum version without using those metals which is cost prohibitive.
there is, but you know cannot be produced in masses in a factory because of the huge costs. but i know a guy in Florida that makes Lamborghini replicas from bmws i think, completely handmade, uses some real parts dope asf. he charges i think 80,000 usd for it
Preme Jewelers .... Although It’s not for me, I can understand why some people might spend a thousand dollars or so to buy a fake in order to show off. What I really don’t understand is why on Gods earth would any remotely sane person spend 80,000 on a fake car.
And in 14 months, you can watch your motor seize and tyres just fall off! From the outside, cheap-assed steel looks the same as quality steel. And they wouldn't be built entirely by hand , by only one craftsman.
7:40,... **You can fake the watch, but can you really fake the way it makes you feel",...??* *Wow,... It's a case study in materialism just waiting to happen.*
It is true. You would be prouder of yourself if you bought the real thing, but, to be fair, the average person is never even going to be able to afford a £1000 fake, so that would make them feel proud as well.
@@David-ud9ju I got the money to buy a Rolex but I'm too smart not to cause there is no value in it. Smart people like myself pay for value and not for a name. Dumb people want attention from other people so they do whatever it takes to get it. Just look at the world and how it is today. Everything is superficial. Rolex is an inferior watch to most watches but dumb people that keep buying it make it still float on its name. I recently bought a Citizen made out of super titanium. atomically synchronized, missing time 1 second for every million years. sapphire glass, perpetual day/date calendar, chronograph and more. This watch cost me around $1 000 and I know it's superior to a Rolex in every way. superior material, more accurate, great heritage. This is worth its money. Not a Rolex.
@@HaasGrotesk Rolex has great resale value though, I wouldn't be so quick to say that passing them is a smart move. Not that I can say much though since I'm trapped in the casio realm.
Many years ago I purchased a replica muscle car, looked nice but, wasn't the real deal. It bothered me to no end that it was a fake. I sold it, and purchased the real thing, never suffered that issue. I totally understand what he says in the video, and he's absolutely correct.
@Joe Smith that's not it chief. im sure even young elon musk that looked kinda like a dweeb right after he sold zip2 would also be questioned at your local starbucks.
Which I think is to an extent is ridiculous, plenty of people work their lives to obtain a luxury timepiece and they are average middle class workers, granted you have to work hard and its years of saving but because it’s a Rolex, or omega or Patek Phillipe people automatically assume you’re either rich or it’s a fake. I can understand with the high market of a plethora of knockoffs why it raises eyebrows but by no means is it completely unusual for an average joe to wear a luxury timepiece. Just a matter of hard work.
Which is why you don’t buy a Rolex if it’s your first luxury watch purchase... or if the watch seems a little off compared to the rest of your possessions. Get an Omega or TAG.
A rolex will make me feel £10,000 good, although I will mostly worry about loosing a £10k watch. A £1000 fake and £9000 worth of hookers and cocaine will make me feel many times more good and I will only have a 10th of worry of loosing the watch.
You have a good point here. On the other hand, Rolex watches don't give you the chance of sexually transmitted diseases! Nontheless, I like your reply!!!
That, my friend, is not a clone, its a piece of junk. Ziarex has Swiss-made replicas, the same as the originals. Compared to his watches, this is nothing
I was delusional before, thinking only China could make replicas, but now I know even Italy and Switzerland make them too, and ZiaRex is their representative.
I got to say, they will note this point.. they will add to their production checklist. Once they made the perfect copy... they will start coming out with their own high end brand.
@@SGfamilies people tend to forget that the people who make replicas know what they are doing wrong, they just know how to make it wrong enough for average people to not notice.
At the end of the day, it all depends on how you dress and what kind of car you drive, if I drove a Honda Civic and wore a real rolex Daytona, people will think it’s fake, but if I dressed nice and drove a nice car l, I can wear whatever replica I want and everyone will think it’s real.
You forget your face, if you are blond with green eyes like I am, they will think it is original, but with your face they will never believe you, unless they see you coming down from a Ferrari...
This is not true. I know people driving a 1000€ car and rocking real rolexes. Some people don't care what brings them around as long as it brings to point B. The real tell is the job you got. Of course a supermarket cashier can't afford a real daytona.
I drive a ford and I have real AND fake designer products. I mix and match them. I work in a wealthy area and there are people that live in multi million dollar homes but are totally content with their Honda, and will make a scene if they're overcharged by $1 lol. Brand names mean nothing
@@samadrid6321 Except those "Close-ups" use more magnification than your typical 10X loupe... so you'd need to bring along some pretty high quality tech to find the fake signs.
@@scottcrawford3745 that's the point. It tries to undermine the fake but it kinda sold me on it... All they need to do for now is hone in on that dial some more and it's game over. Secrets bigger than that have been stolen albeit before what do u reckon could the Swiss have a problem or a solution? The threat this presents to the market for second hand Rolex is probably going to drive some new sales
I hate it when people buy replicas, thinking they are original, and end up losing their money. Thats why mega-clone sellers like Ziarex need to be stopped.
This video does its best to shame people away from buying one of these, but the truth is that one might actually feel pretty good about purchasing one of these high-end fakes. The opposite effect, in my opinion, is more likely to occur. One might feel a bit smart and completely satisfied buying one of these instead of spending thousands on a real one. Buying a watch like this could also allow someone the opportunity to run with the big dogs at work. At a corporate event some years back, I was having drinks with an executive, and ironically enough, we were discussing how confidence and faking it, are a lot closer in appearance than we know. He then confessed to me that his Rolex, and his Omega were both high-end, pricey knock-off! No one ever questioned his Rolex because he was a well-paid CEO and his point was well-received! Which is also the point I am trying to make here.....I can tell you that any person who makes a lot of money, a person of great salary and wealth, could wear one of these fakes and it would never be questioned. No one would ever suspect an already rich person to wear one of these; especially if they wear it with confidence. In fact, I understand that the biggest purchasing demographic for this particular reproduction, the $1,500 price-range knock-off, are people who are already rich. It's simply a smart move for people with money, and I doubt that anyone of these rich guys who are perpetrating this fraud, feel shitty about buying, much less, wearing one of these watches, so why should anyone else?
Other people's perceptions of you might not differ but your own perception of yourself will. Wearing a ten thousand dollar authentic watch is going to exponentially increase your self-confidence make you feel like a real king, ready to conquer the world. Wearing a fake watch can make yourself feel like a fraud.
@@stephen8996 just remember its stainless steel at the end of the day, and no matter what, even seiko is going to take you for a ride on prices, let alone any more pricey brand. It cost nothing to make these watches. Real or fake.
We can talk hypothetically until the cows come home. Only you feel how you feel about wearing a fake. I have a fake rolex and omega because i love the submariner and seamaster, and i dont like homage watches, Because decent fakes and homage brands all use the same cases and bracelet, one labels it "homage" with a made up chinese company with swiss sounding name and charges double what their fake counterparts do in my experience. Bliger, parnis, pagani design, all use the same cases as fake omega and rolex factories and charge more because they pretend its not just a fake watch. I feel satisfied from having a well made waterproof automatic seamaster fake for 5% the price, because its way more watch than most microbrands offer for more money in my experience as well. Auto, saphire crystal, AR coating, exhibition case back, decent waterproof, doesnt miss a beat, for cheap this watch is incredible. If it was about fooling people, i see how someone would feel bad about themselves. I will eventually make the jump to a real one, but till then, this watch takes a beating and loves every day of it.
It's a tough call between the business ethics of a Chinese fake factory, and the Rolex Marketing department. I dont speak Mandarin, or French/German, so I remain torn...
The Seiko brand is damaged beyond redemption in terms of cachet. Sad but true - for all the wrong reasons obviously. Seiko's marketing people screwed up.
@@AntPDC You got that right , marketing is what makes Rolex and all other "luxury" items. If it can be copied to a very close degree for 1% of the cost of the genuine you know you've been fooled by the "real" article. Marketing is a tool to mislead the fool.
The person confronting him isn't what makes his heart sink, it's his own realization that he's wearing an unearned replica not deserving of the praise he receives. Deep down he longs for someone to confront him and put an end to the facade so that he deceives his friends and family no more.
@@grimaffiliations3671 newsflash: most people that own luxury watches didn't earn them. over 80% of wealth is inherited. the idea that these are symbols of earned success is a myth sold to you by a good marketing team. they're mostly trophies for the upper class that were born into it.
Rolex’s designs are fairly old, so to replicate a pattern that has remained unchanged over decades, replicas/fakes can only get better over time. Not a critique. Just the truth. Practice makes perfect.
Practice makes perfect but seems like the copycats figured it out pretty quick. Yes, Rolex did all the heavy lifting but the engineering process is way overhyped by Rolex. Yeah, they put in a lot of work but they talk about it and make commercials for it like they are literally building the future vehicle of space travel.
It is because of the CNC machine which has made this possible. Also the strong demand, record high prices and popularity of Rolex right now. It has nothing to do with how long the design has been out. Rolex is also the best known name which is why they’re counterfeited more than any other watch.
The lettering was the first thing that popped up, and made me realise which one is fake. But then again, you need to have the real one side by side, to pinpoint these things out.
Well, it's probably harder to make the model from scratch, also the little extra quality that goes in probably costs a lot to accomplish. Then there are huge marketing expenses, costs to make business in Switzerland, to certify the movements, costs to train the dealers and much more. Still I would think they gain at least 50 to maybe 100% on each unit.
6:09 - "To see if anyone would notice"... Who in their right mind is going to take that watch off the wrist of a professional watch reseller and inspect the text with a microscope to determine if it's real or fake lmao
@@CommandoMaster honestly its within you if you can handle wearing a fake. Everyone will not even bother trying to scrutinize what you wear if you wear it with confidence
It's funny peope are dogging rolex because of it's price..the people who rolexes..$10,000 is pennies for them ..just the people who drives Ferrari..the cist is nithing to them. If you were worth $50 million you probably wouldn't be driving a Hyundai and you probably more like to buy an expensive watch than a timex
Rolex has been faked for ages. Of course the fakes are going to get more elaborate with time. Rolex is really restricting supply as much as intrest in watches has increased dramaticly the past 2-3 years. Rolex isn't the only brand with crazy premiums on the grey market currently. Just look at nautilus or royal oak. Sports watches are the hot thing right now.
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.
That's pretty sad. But you gotta start somewhere. I started with a $30 Casio back in college and a few years later I've now got a couple of Rolex, Omega and other decent watches. Looking to get an AP Royal Oak, but something about AP, PP, VC and the ultra high-end just screams "I'm a dirty old man" and I'm nowhere near that age yet.
I found out that for five years, I was wearing a fake Submariner, but I paid for a real one. Apparently, the company ziarex makes those mega clones. I tried to find my dealer, but he is gone. I did research, and they have a whole section of watches. They
We need to stop criminals like Ziarex from selling mega-clone replica watches because selling mega-clone replicas with the same serial number as the original watch is illegal.

Jesus... Not only the quality of your videos is astonishing. Not only your narration is marvelous. Not only your scripts are magnificent. Now, to all these, we can add your philosophy. Thank you for that sense of sophistication while watching your videos!
Fake companies don't create new products though, they let the OG companies spend all the time and money it takes to come up with a successful creation, and then they copy the shit out of it
Congrats for Rolex PR Dept for "waiting list". Great job! A year or two more and the GMT Master lists will be shorter and prices on the "normal market" will be not + 40%. Its a question of time. People are not stupid.
Fake watches are for fake people, those who buys fake watches would never have that dilemma. If you are a real watch enthusiast obviously a fake watch would never make u happy not even close.
@Ginsung if you ever manage to get one at msrp you basically made 10k without doing anything. So i guess u know nothing about watches. Rolex don't tell the time, tells people you are successful, of course if you are.
So at this point we can conclude that since functionality, look and feel are all same as the original, the surplus money you pay is just for the brand tag and has got nothing to do with actual quality. Don't argue about water resistance. No one will rely on a 30,000 euro worth watch for scuba diving. It is like G-wagon, they say it is made for off-road, but we usually see them in shopping malls or grocery stores.
True, you can't fake the feelings, but because feelings are not rational, you can very well change them with de... illusion. That's the "beauty" of feelings. If you bought a good fake Rollex being convinced it's genuine, your feelings would be identical as if it was. So, if the feelings is the main factor for you, buy from retailers who sell "genuine" Rolexes for 1/5th the price.
Actually the replica serves a purpose, I wear it daily so my real one does not get nicks and scratches in it. I learned my lesson the hard way with my first good watch.
While the finish on the fake revealed itself under the macro lens, I also noticed issues on the Rolex, which is concerning, there are not many, but are present.
Its a well-known secret in the watch industry. There are watches out there with serial numbers identical to the originals. Only Ziarex has the real deal, and thats no secret.
TheFinalApproach: You do not have seen many macro zooms of Omega's finishing, isnt you? There is a comparison between GS, Rolex and Omega hands under macro zoom on reddit, google it and you could see the "perfection" of Omega (the same for GS movements, only a very superflouous decoration). Also, ¿can you point at those imperfections you have mentioned? I do not see any flaw 4:27 ¿ Maybe you are trying very hard to see what you want to see, or am I blind?
For the money you will need to go grand seiko or omega, because you can't buy rolex at msrp. I own two omega, two grand seiko, and no rolex. Rolex claims to want my money but only wants to sell me all the shit nobody wants.
Luxury goods are always “overpriced.” Otherwise they wouldn’t be luxury. Luxury by default means exclusive. As in not for everyone. If everyone could buy a Rolex it would no longer be what Rolex is today. Don’t believe me? Everyone can buy a Seiko or a Citizen for a couple hundred bucks. But no one is drooling over them like they are for a steel ceramic Daytona. I’ll give you another example. Around 2005-2008 luxury designer jeans were very popular. $250-400 7 for all Mankind, Rock & Republic, True Religion. If you were someone you had to be seen with a pair. The second they stated to hit discount outlets for $100 and normal people could afford them, celebrities and cool people stopped wearing them right away. So if a real Rolex cost $1000 or less, it wouldn’t be a Rolex anymore. People would only drool for AP, Patek, Vacheron, Richard Mille and whatever brand was still exclusive.
Thrash ziarex and their mega clone watches. They need to be stopped and destroyed because their watches are being sold as originals, making Rolex lose money.
@@akishot6735 I agree... I have a omega moonwatch and I own it for multiple reasons and being wealthy is not one of them, as I'm not. Work hard sure, do OK sure, but I had to save. I was born July 69 and two days later man walked on the moon. So what could have been any more appropriate for me than the moon watch. and its a classic design and cool watch and has history and a kind of cult status. I have a load if I was wealthy sure.. But maybe folks who are like me may appreciate it more as its not easy to come by. And its something my son will have when I pop my clogs... A nice watch is to be appreciated not to flaunt wealth or status.. Leave that to the posers..
@@antonytheolddog8626 your story is cool but most people to buy a Rolex are doing it to get attention and to pat themselves on the back. I think a lot of the same people actually do love the watch and may appreciate aspects and elements of the design and engineering but they could have bought many fantastic watches but people that go Rolex are, more often than not, very interested in having a watch that people will look at them and think... That guy/ girl is a success. Success in this case means they are rich or doing real well! Personally, the Rolex Explorer II is something I just fell in love with... it truly is my favorite watch. That said, I hardly ever wear it because I am not rich and want it to stay pristine. So, daily I wear an Orient Ray II on a Barton rubber strap and I love it. I have had numerous people tell me that it looks very expensive... In fact, because they are not aware of the brand, they think it is even more expensive than a Rolex. Like, some obscure brand. Bottom line, the appearance of the Orient watch is pretty impressive for the price. When I wear the Rolex, I actually kind of cringe when people ask me about it. I actually like to wear it tucked under the hooded sweatshirt on the weekends and a smile knowing it's tucked in but with me!
I have Ziarex replica watch, and when I see this video, I cant help but cringe. Theres no comparison to be made, its like a toy watch competing against a original.
Zack no, the fake will eventually break down and need to be over hauled. High end watches need to be overhauled every 4 years or they start running slow. No one will touch the fake. It’s a waste of money.
it's insane now how much THIS rep looks so bad compared to our reps today. I clearly knew which was the rep by the red DAYTONA label alone in 2 seconds. not to mention the hour markers and Rolex crown logo being so low quality. we really thought these were nearly indistinguishable 😢
So low quality isn't fair. As if you did not have the closeups and something to compare, you might make the mistake yourself. I do agree the red Rolex print is the easiest way to tell, but come on. DO you really trust yourself without a loop or better magnification? Would you bet your reputation on figuring it out in 2 seconds? I think not.
When doing the comparison the print in the fake, beginning with "Rolex", is clearly in bold. Don't even need a close-up to notice that. But without a comparison to the genuine, these fakes are getting better and better.
@@EricBishard come on, I know these so called grade A Rolex fakes and they really are sold at a 1.5k usd price! Everything is faked, including the box and even the cap. And well, they are easily distinguishable EVEN at photos on the smartphone screen. Daytona script, Rolex superlative chrono scripts, logo on crown - easy. But there were a few nuances in this video, that I never noticed. Particularly, an awful hand. Btw, these fakes do feel like fakes. There's something hammery in them, I don't know, a gut feeling. And a believe they have a different weight. This is the easiest way to tell, imo. And also Omega in an other video. That fake was even a better fake, but costs like 300 hundred USD. And goes without the genuine faked box and papers. But it looks much better and harder to distinguish.
I bought a Rolex DateJust 25 years ago. It was what I could afford and every day I am proud to put it on. I don't think I would feel the same putting on a fake.
You’ve got a real good product (those fakes won’t Stand the test of time or water or anything anyway) AND you said ‘thank you’ to people who worked hard to develop and built it. It is a right way - bravo sir!
@@VoiceofBelarus -- Thanks for your comment. I also have a few guns. Among them is a Swiss Luger pistol and a K31 rifle. Both made in the 40's and of very fine quality.
It’s truly terrifying how well albeit still imperfect these replicas are being made, it can more than certainly throw your average buyer off the scent enough to swindle the bucks in. Only the true enthusiasts who have studied the craft will catch the small imperfections.
That might be an AAAAA replica, but it doesnt even come close to the excellence of a Ziarex Swiss replica. You can spend less in China, but quality is worth the investment.
That sound you hear is the collapsing of a preposterous set of premises propping up an absurdly overinflated industry focused on the bad judgement of the well-heeled. In fact, what it reveals is the complete lack of appreciation of the underlying achievement that a very fine watch represents, in favour of the overlays of conspicuous consumption that serve only to create invidious, false values that prop up the prestige system that discourages innovation and excellence. I'm on the hunt for the knockoffs now.
Paying double or even triple RRP is more scandalous than putting a fake Rolex on my wrist!!! And don't get me started on trying to literally beg an AD to add you to a waiting list. Unfortunately, popular Rolex models have become so unobtainable even if you had the money to buy one from an AD! Thats why buying a high end replica is the only stress free option. Regardless of money.
In a few years the Chinese copies will be 100% as good as the originals ,then what will you do /All they need to do is add another 10 % to the finishing and there you go a perfect copy like a replicator .Actually in my worthless opinion it shows that a real Rolex only is worth about 1/5 of its retail price ,the rest is hype and prestige plus it keeps the rift raft from owning things only the rich should have !I'll stick to my Wenger thank you .We don't get two months vacation here in North America when we begin a job like the Swiss , maybe after we retire or near our death-bed .
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
@@rashard70 It depends on what do you mean by quality.For me It functions very well there is no difference for someone who is looking with a naked eye.Weighs well and it has a nice sharp feeling to it.Other than that I am not sure about minor details as, even I, the watch owner didnt bother to look into it with a magnifier.
You don't waste money on a genuine Rolex. They appreciate in value, or at very worst, will maintain their value. Reps break, and they will never be worth more than what you pay for them.
true. but you have to make sure that you can pull off wearing a replica. I bought a fake rolex once i got a house and a bmw 4 series cabrio. Now it fits into my life and i can pull it off. i really live on the standard that this watch represents but i didnt want to tie up my money into a watch i would be scared about getting stolen or lost. I waited a few years to get to this level whe i can easily pull it off and iit feels just as rewarding as if i bought the real one. it represents the life and it looks good.
@@mimmo2341 well to me it doesnt matter if its real or not. it looks real anakes me look and feel good. but only because i can back it up. if i wasnt in this situation i wouldnt buy it. and im not trying to flex with it. it just makes me feel good. thats all. got nothing to prove to anyone
This video was made 4 years ago. 4 years on the Chinese factories who make these superclones have gone to such lengths to make theor rolexes indistinguishable from the gen. The only way to tell is opening the case and checking the parts within the movement itself
They are so similar, that it comes down to the faint difference in colour and minor scratches to differentiate the fake Rolex from the real one. If you can buy a BMW ,then you can certainly buy the best fake to match your lifestyle. Quartz movement is far more accurate than Turbillion ,but we overpay for a Rolex just for it's rarity and it's not even that rare. Many watch enthusiasts consider these expensive watches as investment to resell them later, but what's a better investment than gold and real-estate?

@@Cauhauna you wish lmao
For those commenting below me, I'm not sure you understand the point. The sellers of fake watches don't care about a few minor screw finishing missed on the inside of the watch case. The reason they don't care is twofold. 1- they have it close enough, so the average fake buyer (who is not a perfectionist, or else they wouldn't settle for a fake) is satisfied. 2- they can sell updated versions of their fake watch as they fix the minor issues. 3- I realize i said two, but this is important: it's a matter of economics. They simply cannot replicate the EXACT finish of a $12,000 hand finished swiss timepiece in a chinese factory. it simply cannot be done.
China has better copyright laws now they even ceased the production of the land wind crossover which was an almost carbon copy of the range rover. While the quality of the replicas have increased a good bit the price has increased dramatically because it got harder to distribute and real parts are being used. To make a perfect replica it will cost no less than half the price and nobody would buy it because of the chance that the difference would be spotted later and make the watch worth nothing. Rollexes hold value pretty well and some models even appreciate.

what's the point of calling anything a fake when it comes from the same factory. as for the watch, I would prefer to invest hundreds in a decent watch made in swiss that gives time (Tag, or Swatch) rather than an imitation of something just to say "muh rolex yo wotch muh rolex nigga"
it's good to know at least my swatch will outlive that rolex the same way my blackberry outlived several generations of iphones.
Just dummies pay stupid money for things like these, marketing and branding makes folks blind and broke
Switzerland will never see my money with its overpriced, series-made watches. I prefer to buy a Chinese own brand or a Japanese brand like seiko or citizen. Fuck Swiss !!
Saj Ryder No. The fake will never have the actual genuine movement. It will never have the exact same quality of finishing and it will never have real precious metals and it will never be worth anything. The original is cash on your wrist. You can convert it to cash immediately in any major city around the world. It is easier to copy these steel versions but is impossible to copy a gold or platinum version without using those metals which is cost prohibitive.

@@David-ud9ju I got the money to buy a Rolex but I'm too smart not to cause there is no value in it. Smart people like myself pay for value and not for a name. Dumb people want attention from other people so they do whatever it takes to get it. Just look at the world and how it is today. Everything is superficial. Rolex is an inferior watch to most watches but dumb people that keep buying it make it still float on its name. I recently bought a Citizen made out of super titanium. atomically synchronized, missing time 1 second for every million years. sapphire glass, perpetual day/date calendar, chronograph and more. This watch cost me around $1 000 and I know it's superior to a Rolex in every way. superior material, more accurate, great heritage. This is worth its money. Not a Rolex.
@@HaasGrotesk Rolex has great resale value though, I wouldn't be so quick to say that passing them is a smart move. Not that I can say much though since I'm trapped in the casio realm.
When you check the time on your fake rolex it reflects your true personality.

TBH. Even when I wear a real Rolex, people still ask if it's real.
@Joe Smith that's not it chief. im sure even young elon musk that looked kinda like a dweeb right after he sold zip2 would also be questioned at your local starbucks.
Which I think is to an extent is ridiculous, plenty of people work their lives to obtain a luxury timepiece and they are average middle class workers, granted you have to work hard and its years of saving but because it’s a Rolex, or omega or Patek Phillipe people automatically assume you’re either rich or it’s a fake. I can understand with the high market of a plethora of knockoffs why it raises eyebrows but by no means is it completely unusual for an average joe to wear a luxury timepiece. Just a matter of hard work.
Which is why you don’t buy a Rolex if it’s your first luxury watch purchase... or if the watch seems a little off compared to the rest of your possessions. Get an Omega or TAG.
Yea it happens to me my friend in school asks me

amazing transition
This video does its best to shame people away from buying one of these, but the truth is that one might actually feel pretty good about purchasing one of these high-end fakes. The opposite effect, in my opinion, is more likely to occur. One might feel a bit smart and completely satisfied buying one of these instead of spending thousands on a real one. Buying a watch like this could also allow someone the opportunity to run with the big dogs at work. At a corporate event some years back, I was having drinks with an executive, and ironically enough, we were discussing how confidence and faking it, are a lot closer in appearance than we know. He then confessed to me that his Rolex, and his Omega were both high-end, pricey knock-off! No one ever questioned his Rolex because he was a well-paid CEO and his point was well-received!
Which is also the point I am trying to make here.....I can tell you that any person who makes a lot of money, a person of great salary and wealth, could wear one of these fakes and it would never be questioned. No one would ever suspect an already rich person to wear one of these; especially if they wear it with confidence. In fact, I understand that the biggest purchasing demographic for this particular reproduction, the $1,500 price-range knock-off, are people who are already rich. It's simply a smart move for people with money, and I doubt that anyone of these rich guys who are perpetrating this fraud, feel shitty about buying, much less, wearing one of these watches, so why should anyone else?
Other people's perceptions of you might not differ but your own perception of yourself will. Wearing a ten thousand dollar authentic watch is going to exponentially increase your self-confidence make you feel like a real king, ready to conquer the world. Wearing a fake watch can make yourself feel like a fraud.
@@OVOgooner agree completely. I would never wear a replica. If I could only afford a $1500 watch I'd buy a hamilton or a tag or a Tissot, etc
@@stephen8996 just remember its stainless steel at the end of the day, and no matter what, even seiko is going to take you for a ride on prices, let alone any more pricey brand. It cost nothing to make these watches. Real or fake.
We can talk hypothetically until the cows come home. Only you feel how you feel about wearing a fake. I have a fake rolex and omega because i love the submariner and seamaster, and i dont like homage watches, Because decent fakes and homage brands all use the same cases and bracelet, one labels it "homage" with a made up chinese company with swiss sounding name and charges double what their fake counterparts do in my experience. Bliger, parnis, pagani design, all use the same cases as fake omega and rolex factories and charge more because they pretend its not just a fake watch. I feel satisfied from having a well made waterproof automatic seamaster fake for 5% the price, because its way more watch than most microbrands offer for more money in my experience as well. Auto, saphire crystal, AR coating, exhibition case back, decent waterproof, doesnt miss a beat, for cheap this watch is incredible. If it was about fooling people, i see how someone would feel bad about themselves. I will eventually make the jump to a real one, but till then, this watch takes a beating and loves every day of it.
It's a tough call between the business ethics of a Chinese fake factory, and the Rolex Marketing department. I dont speak Mandarin, or French/German, so I remain torn...

@TheMaloney outlier.
Yeah, need to re-evaluate yourself if a watch has such a bearing on your emotions
@@grimaffiliations3671 ..Stop being overdramatic .It's just a watch.
Rolex’s designs are fairly old, so to replicate a pattern that has remained unchanged over decades, replicas/fakes can only get better over time. Not a critique. Just the truth. Practice makes perfect.
not so true, this Daytona have been around only for a few years.
They do not even look like Replicas anymore
Practice makes perfect but seems like the copycats figured it out pretty quick. Yes, Rolex did all the heavy lifting but the engineering process is way overhyped by Rolex. Yeah, they put in a lot of work but they talk about it and make commercials for it like they are literally building the future vehicle of space travel.
@@john-carlosynostroza yes exactly the models are so old that the replicas nowadays are likewise 99.9% perfect
It is because of the CNC machine which has made this possible. Also the strong demand, record high prices and popularity of Rolex right now. It has nothing to do with how long the design has been out.
Rolex is also the best known name which is why they’re counterfeited more than any other watch.
The lettering was the first thing that popped up, and made me realise which one is fake. But then again, you need to have the real one side by side, to pinpoint these things out.
It used to be as simple as looking for the word *Folex* on the dial.
Although fake, it shows the truth that Rolex makes tremendous profit with the same fucntional product！
No shit, idiots will pay any price for this garbage.
Well, it's probably harder to make the model from scratch, also the little extra quality that goes in probably costs a lot to accomplish. Then there are huge marketing expenses, costs to make business in Switzerland, to certify the movements, costs to train the dealers and much more.
Still I would think they gain at least 50 to maybe 100% on each unit.

True, you can't fake the feelings, but because feelings are not rational, you can very well change them with de... illusion. That's the "beauty" of feelings. If you bought a good fake Rollex being convinced it's genuine, your feelings would be identical as if it was. So, if the feelings is the main factor for you, buy from retailers who sell "genuine" Rolexes for 1/5th the price.

For the money you will need to go grand seiko or omega, because you can't buy rolex at msrp. I own two omega, two grand seiko, and no rolex. Rolex claims to want my money but only wants to sell me all the shit nobody wants.
China is proving Rolex is just overpriced tat, whereas China is reasonably-priced tat.
Luxury goods are always “overpriced.” Otherwise they wouldn’t be luxury. Luxury by default means exclusive. As in not for everyone. If everyone could buy a Rolex it would no longer be what Rolex is today.
Don’t believe me? Everyone can buy a Seiko or a Citizen for a couple hundred bucks. But no one is drooling over them like they are for a steel ceramic Daytona.
I’ll give you another example. Around 2005-2008 luxury designer jeans were very popular. $250-400 7 for all Mankind, Rock & Republic, True Religion. If you were someone you had to be seen with a pair. The second they stated to hit discount outlets for $100 and normal people could afford them, celebrities and cool people stopped wearing them right away.
So if a real Rolex cost $1000 or less, it wouldn’t be a Rolex anymore. People would only drool for AP, Patek, Vacheron, Richard Mille and whatever brand was still exclusive.

That guy/ girl is a success. Success in this case means they are rich or doing real well! Personally, the Rolex Explorer II is something I just fell in love with... it truly is my favorite watch. That said, I hardly ever wear it because I am not rich and want it to stay pristine. So, daily I wear an Orient Ray II on a Barton rubber strap and I love it.

Bottom line, the appearance of the Orient watch is pretty impressive for the price. When I wear the Rolex, I actually kind of cringe when people ask me about it.

it's insane now how much THIS rep looks so bad compared to our reps today. I clearly knew which was the rep by the red DAYTONA label alone in 2 seconds. not to mention the hour markers and Rolex crown logo being so low quality. we really thought these were nearly indistinguishable 😢
So low quality isn't fair. As if you did not have the closeups and something to compare, you might make the mistake yourself. I do agree the red Rolex print is the easiest way to tell, but come on. DO you really trust yourself without a loop or better magnification? Would you bet your reputation on figuring it out in 2 seconds? I think not.
When doing the comparison the print in the fake, beginning with "Rolex", is clearly in bold. Don't even need a close-up to notice that. But without a comparison to the genuine, these fakes are getting better and better.
@@EricBishard come on, I know these so called grade A Rolex fakes and they really are sold at a 1.5k usd price! Everything is faked, including the box and even the cap. And well, they are easily distinguishable EVEN at photos on the smartphone screen. Daytona script, Rolex superlative chrono scripts, logo on crown - easy. But there were a few nuances in this video, that I never noticed. Particularly, an awful hand. Btw, these fakes do feel like fakes. There's something hammery in them, I don't know, a gut feeling. And a believe they have a different weight. This is the easiest way to tell, imo. And also Omega in an other video. That fake was even a better fake, but costs like 300 hundred USD. And goes without the genuine faked box and papers. But it looks much better and harder to distinguish.
Thanks for your feedback. But would you mention which rep you're talking about that is "Better" than This???

I bought a Rolex DateJust 25 years ago. It was what I could afford and every day I am proud to put it on. I don't think I would feel the same putting on a fake.
You’ve got a real good product (those fakes won’t Stand the test of time or water or anything anyway) AND you said ‘thank you’ to people who worked hard to develop and built it. It is a right way - bravo sir!
@@VoiceofBelarus -- Thanks for your comment. I also have a few guns. Among them is a Swiss Luger pistol and a K31 rifle. Both made in the 40's and of very fine quality.
There are watches with the same serial numbers as the originals, and only one company, called Ziarex, sells them.
3:31 I swear that looks like a beetle on the end
I’d buy the replica and spend the rest of the money for things that really matter ;)!
Good advice!
hookers and blow?
🥰🕙🖤
Or buy a real watch for 1k?
Or maybe buy other original watch with the same price ?
When you say super clone, it better be Swiss-made. Only Ziarex delivers that level of perfection.
A replica is less aggravating to replace if lost or stolen...
Wow. They've come a loooong way. I remember the days of the modded 7750 in fake 116520s but this is an amazing new level.
I remember the fake Rolex watches with a quartz movement that ticked once per second! Those were exceedingly easy to spot.
It’s truly terrifying how well albeit still imperfect these replicas are being made, it can more than certainly throw your average buyer off the scent enough to swindle the bucks in. Only the true enthusiasts who have studied the craft will catch the small imperfections.
That might be an AAAAA replica, but it doesnt even come close to the excellence of a Ziarex Swiss replica. You can spend less in China, but quality is worth the investment.
That sound you hear is the collapsing of a preposterous set of premises propping up an absurdly overinflated industry focused on the bad judgement of the well-heeled.
In fact, what it reveals is the complete lack of appreciation of the underlying achievement that a very fine watch represents, in favour of the overlays of conspicuous consumption that serve only to create invidious, false values that prop up the prestige system that discourages innovation and excellence.
I'm on the hunt for the knockoffs now.
That was a comment worth looking at, thanks.
Fake or real they both show the same time.
Mega-clone sellers like Ziarex must be in jail because they sell watches with identical serial numbers as original watches, which is illegal.
Paying double or even triple RRP is more scandalous than putting a fake Rolex on my wrist!!! And don't get me started on trying to literally beg an AD to add you to a waiting list. Unfortunately, popular Rolex models have become so unobtainable even if you had the money to buy one from an AD! Thats why buying a high end replica is the only stress free option. Regardless of money.
In a few years the Chinese copies will be 100% as good as the originals ,then what will you do /All they need to do is add another 10 % to the finishing and there you go a perfect copy like a replicator .Actually in my worthless opinion it shows that a real Rolex only is worth about 1/5 of its retail price ,the rest is hype and prestige plus it keeps the rift raft from owning things only the rich should have !I'll stick to my Wenger thank you .We don't get two months vacation here in North America when we begin a job like the Swiss , maybe after we retire or near our death-bed .
The watch in that video cant hold a candle to a Ziarex. Ziarex sets the gold standard.
Ziarex is nothing but scam
"It makes me feel so good that I paid $8,000 rather than $400" --LOL
You mean $26k :)
said no1 ever looool
Can someone tell me where he got that watch from?
@@gforce297 yes message me i can point you in the right direction
patrick ferrari I am looking for one as well.
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Wasting fortunes for illegal replicas are kind of dumb.I 've been using my Homage for 2-3 years.
How was the quality?
@@rashard70 It depends on what do you mean by quality.For me It functions very well there is no difference for someone who is looking with a naked eye.Weighs well and it has a nice sharp feeling to it.Other than that I am not sure about minor details as, even I, the watch owner didnt bother to look into it with a magnifier.
Kenneth J. Miner
Thanks will check it out
You don't waste money on a genuine Rolex. They appreciate in value, or at very worst, will maintain their value. Reps break, and they will never be worth more than what you pay for them.
@@iamrichlol investing 20-40k to stock market gives quite a bit better results than a watch, replica is the way to go unless you are really rich
The only "sinking feeling" i'd get is looking a my wrist, seeing a real Rolex and knowing just how much I overpaid for it.
There’s also a HUGE sinking feeling when that $10K hunk of steel gets stolen or lost. With the replica, not so much.
Sell it then and recoup your money. Then sinking feeling will go away.
true. but you have to make sure that you can pull off wearing a replica. I bought a fake rolex once i got a house and a bmw 4 series cabrio. Now it fits into my life and i can pull it off. i really live on the standard that this watch represents but i didnt want to tie up my money into a watch i would be scared about getting stolen or lost. I waited a few years to get to this level whe i can easily pull it off and iit feels just as rewarding as if i bought the real one. it represents the life and it looks good.
@@uk9383 Congratulations on your current lifestyle but however it makes you feel it doesn't change the fact it's a replica and not the real deal.
@@mimmo2341 well to me it doesnt matter if its real or not. it looks real anakes me look and feel good. but only because i can back it up. if i wasnt in this situation i wouldnt buy it. and im not trying to flex with it. it just makes me feel good. thats all. got nothing to prove to anyone
This video was made 4 years ago. 4 years on the Chinese factories who make these superclones have gone to such lengths to make theor rolexes indistinguishable from the gen. The only way to tell is opening the case and checking the parts within the movement itself
The real question we all want to hear is where you bought that fake daytona
R/reptime go to that sub reddit and you will learn all you need to know. And £1000 is way over priced. This watch you can get for about £375.
Message me on whatsapp, if you want a daytona or any other watch. 00905387479198. I will give my insta username aswell to look at the other watches.
That's one of the reasons I stopped buying modern Rolex watches. Long live vintage Rolex...
I agree, but don't overlook Omegas.
2:18 so what you're saying is they're baisically the same product, materials, and quality, but one says certified and costs 10x as much?
They are so similar, that it comes down to the faint difference in colour and minor scratches to differentiate the fake Rolex from the real one. If you can buy a BMW ,then you can certainly buy the best fake to match your lifestyle. Quartz movement is far more accurate than Turbillion ,but we overpay for a Rolex just for it's rarity and it's not even that rare. Many watch enthusiasts consider these expensive watches as investment to resell them later, but what's a better investment than gold and real-estate?
The timepieces of swissarex are of excellent quality. You wouldn't know they weren't the real deal.
So where can I purchase a dozen fakes? lol
