How To Spot Fake Luxury Watches

- Опубликовано: 15 май 2020
- An authenticity expert from designer consignment shop The RealReal in New York City taught Insider producer AC Fowler how to spot replicas of popular designer watches. We took a look at some of the most iconic watches around: Hublot Big Bangs, Omega Seamasters, Cartier Santos 100s, Rolex Submariners, and Cartier Pashas. Watch authenticity expert Laif Anderson put us to the test to see if we could determine the real designer watches from their knockoffs. We also learned some tips along the way for how shoppers can spot the differences themselves.
Insider visited The RealReal's SoHo location in 2019. The store is currently closed due to the ongoing pandemic, but you're able to shop online at their website: www.therealreal.com/welcome.

How To Spot Fake Luxury Watches 
Хобби
igrotum is the only replica factory that operates on United States soil without getting caught by the authorities
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.
I hate mega-clone replica sellers.
I only buy from them.
He is my favorite seller
Their watches are true masterpieces, 1:1 with no difference from original watches.
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 read a comment from someone mentioning that when a replica factory has a waiting list, its a sign that their products are superior to the originals. In this case, Swissarex is that factory.
Someone in the government should do something about it.
This is a serious problem, we must react
CIA, hello!
I will report them to the FBI
Cancel them.
Bill Gates could wear a super fake, and people would believed it's the real deal. A normal bloke could wear an authentic Rolex, and people still think it's a fake. Power of perceptions 😆😆
exept gates is a real creep he wears a casio duro witch is 10 bucks and looks like a rolex more lame than wearing a super fake....he dont care? get a d platform casio then
I realize I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Amir Mark Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Amir Mark I would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
💯💯💯 Exactly!
The authentication guy is so sweet. He definitely helped him along at the end there.
I would love to see him try to find any flaws on the watches on my channel!:)
Those finger condoms caught me off guard
Thank you for the feedback. We will improve and do better on our next batch ⌚
Imagine your just walking down the street and some random dude closely inspects your watch to see if its legit
Lol
Ransom?
🖕
EndGame 23 dude-
Roses what you dont know Fingering things?
The watchmaker looks like a WATCH DOCTOR 😂😂😂....(⌚👨⚕️)
Just found out my Casio digital was a knock-off. $38 down the drain.
dont they cost 38 dollars in the first place
unfortunate, casio fakes are becoming increasingly common these days
When see all these very well made fake watches sometimes make me thinks, the expensives genuine branded watches being so costly for nothing...
Yes the genuine ones are overpriced but you have to remember that the companies pay millions to do research and development of these watches, the replica companies simply copy them, they have no innovation. There are also advertising costs, paying Swiss workers high salaries instead of Chinese low salaries, paying for advertisements, paying for high end machines and factories. The genuine watches will also be worth something in the future and for some brands like Rolex they may even go up in value, you can leave them for your children when you die. But the replica does give you 90% of the enjoyment for a fraction of the price of the genuine.
Also do the reps ever do real gold or platinum models or just ss?
It’s really not ‘for nothing’. If you set aside the gold plating, diamonds and the rest of the flash, the old guard Swiss watches (Universal Genève, Rolex, Patek Philippe, etc.) are definitely superior timekeepers. One metric: they are each calibrated / certified by independent labs, for timing accuracy and repeatability. Rolex, in particular, makes watches that are exceptionally durable. The quality under the hood is very much there, vs mass market Swiss watches (which are still quite good) or Chinese clones. So, they do have their place. There’s also the investment angle, but that’s a separate matter. As a fashion statement, I say buy whatever catches your eye.
a fairly really good made replica watches can almost cost more then half of the original luxury watches. They are put together by watch makers and trying to mimic the real ones. The most important aspect of a fake one is making the movemengs look the same. They can likely make a replica watch about 80 - 90 percent the same as the original but by doing so, the price will be so expensive to make , it's not worth it for them to sell .
The fake Hublot and the real Hublot are worth the same :’D
I appreciate this comment bro
Nico Leonard wants to know your location 😳😳
@@orangutancoochie6213 and he'll probably hug him for writing that
TBH
When I saw the hublot I came looking for this comment I was like they’re both fake by a G-Shock God tear
Tbf, Hublot looks like a cheap knock off no matter how high the retail is.
hublot is going to be tricky. because even the real ones are trash, crappy finishing, dust inside the dials etc.
What gave the fake Hublot away for me was the rim screws that are too close to the outer side of the rim. Where as the genuine Hublot has the rim screws perfectly centered.
But other than that you are right. The real Hublot's finish is rather crappy.
I personally don't own any replicas but I do have homage watches and one of my favorite homage is the steinhart 42mm.I love the design and look of many luxury watches but wouldn't mind a homage version with seiko or miyota or a cheap Swiss movement, as long I was getting the look (never been into the movements) I'm a car guy too , now that is something I want to the inside (engine performance) to be top notch and would pay accordingly.
Wouldn’t gloves save you time
But finger cots are cheaper plus you’re not using all your fingers, in this case the guest was but the expert wasn’t.
If you want seriously sweaty hands from wearing gloves all day, go right ahead….😉
This was cool
This is enjoyable to watch 😊
I knew I couldn't buy them but I kept watching it till the end
Wow that was interesting 🧐
Love ur vids bro
Im enjoy watching it 👍🏻
If you know what you are looking for in the replica it is very easy to identify it.
As long as it tells the time and the one who gifted it to me meant well, I don't need an expensive luxury wristwatch.
Besides, if it's real, it would end up with most of my actual heirloom jewelry locked at home anyway, I wouldn't risk wearing it in public or everyday.
Rolex watch cost 1000$ years ago now its 38000$. Its pretty good investment but funny thing with Rolex watches they limited and you have to prepaid which put you on special waiting list even after that you cant be sure you get the watch. This make them so prestige but not only this of course.
Because you'd keep it at home and never use it, kinda indicates the different class/lifestyle you lead. I'm guessing someone with more money than they know what to do with, would just wear any insanely priced watch all the time and not care if it got scratched or banged necessarily.
If you don’t care about luxury watches why do you want one that looks like one
Nobody "needs" a luxury watch, just like any luxury item. You just "want" to have and/or show you can afford it. That's what luxury is all about.
I love how the dude is genuinely trying to get them right.
The last one was so freaking obvious
Got no use for this video but this is cool
such fun!! aren't they both sweet
I went 5 and 0! 👏🏾
Going off of Laif's tips helped but my eye kept pulling towards the real one each time. The final one was just lucky guessing (I couldn't see close enough to see if there was a 2nd Cartier signature). This was fun!
What's the point of watching.
I'll never have enough money to buy one
You can buy the knockoff
Why someone wants tto buy something like that? They're ugly.
I like your mentality haha haha
@@Balrov1 you're stupid asf. people earn millions filliping luxury watches
@@Balrov1 watches are investment they're value increases overtime
The authentic expert looks like Eri from my hero academia with the magnifying glass on his forehead haha
This is why you always have a third party authentication done you just never know unless you've handled thousands of something sometimes
Hi support please
5/5 lets do another!
*2020* .
1:50 one of these Hublots is worthless, and the other one is a fake
Some luxury watches are so ugly, that a fake one is a deserved punishment for their designers.
after this video it is time to inspect my friend's watches *puts on condom fingers*
There are rumors that igrotum has the Rolex database of serial numbers and sells replicas with the same serial numbers as the originals
asking someone who is not even wearing a watch, to spot watches.....lol
Hmm. I love these kinds of videos, because they show me the value of having nice things and keeping them well, as opposed to just getting the thing that “works” in the short term. Really cool stuff.
It’s not enough findings to make me want to pay all that money for the real watch 😂
he looks donald gloverish...
I guessed all right
Всем привет, нашёл часы, хорошие, тяжёлые рабочие часы с автоподзаводом и тремя дополнительными циферблатами. На часах написано Cartier... Написал в официальный дом Cartier, мол, помогите найти владельца, но мне предложили их просто принести в салон и оставить там. Номера (а их три) чуть затерты но читабельны, подскажите, как найти владельца, или как проверить их подлинность?
Won't get any of these watch.
thanks we won't repeat - The Chinese
Why buy the real deal when everyone thinks it's a fake anyway?
There are a more than a few beautiful luxury watch brands that only connoisseurs know about. Some of their models are not even particularly flashy but someone who knows them wil easily recognize them.
0:57 what the hell is all this noise on his shirt ??
Fake people own fake watches..
Watch fakes are hardest to tell. For clothing/bags, you see a big chunk of area in front of you where you can feel things. Watches, no.
Yeah you can. You just have to know what to look for.
I´m taking notes so I can buy the best replica.

It's no such thing as fake if it's working properly, you can see it and touch it.
That videos watch is a mere imitation, not a real clone. Ziarex replica watches are on next level.
igrotum is the only replica manufacturer that has stock in the US and EU
I got all the three correct watches! Lol
Once you get them side by side and know what to look for its not that difficult. If i couldn't compare, i probably wouldn't know.
I'M WATCHING THIS FOR WHEN I'M WEALTHY
Beautiful watch submarinerstore !! I'm in love!! very very nice Quality. I will definitely buy more from you. Thank you very much.
The first fake watch looks nicer than the real one...
oh, does it? "Stick of butter"
Why did Inside chose him as the the interviewer. The interviewer doesn't seem to appreciate high horologie. It's more enjoyable if it's someone who knows better at watches or at least pretend to appreciate haute horologie.
I would rather watch someone happily teach how to spot fake watches then listen an "intelligent conversation" about watches
Is it me or did both Hublot look bad in the close up.
Hublots just look bad, from up close same as from afar. They're just ugly.
I kinda feel like this guy was setup to fail, there was no real way for him to know what to look for without knowing the signatures and characteristics of the brands. Its like looking for a spanner without know what a spanner is in the first place.
I disagree somewhat. There's a level of "fit and finish" that a person can recognize depending on how appreciative they are of fit/finish IN GENERAL and for lack of a better term (and in no means am I trying to insult or disparage) he simply had a lower standard of what he felt "good/expensive watches" are supposed to be.
As an analogy it's like with audio - people with sharper ears can hear the difference in audio quality even if they weren't familiar with the actual music they're listening to. It's that sort of thing. So not really his fault - but I'm of the sense that if you're trying to understand anything luxury - at the very least you need to have some sense of what makes an object exude luxury. He simply didn't have that sense.
While there are super replicas that require you to check the movement to really know the difference. The examples the expert showed him have enough glaring differences which all you needed was a sense of what looks "nice".
Even that last Cartier (with no basis for comparison) - which is a model i'm not even familiar with - without even going to the caseback you can see the date window was horribly misaligned with the cyclops. Something that would've never passed QA of a real brand worth it's salt.
The watch in that video cant hold a candle to a Ziarex. Ziarex sets the gold standard.
No, not all dive watches with a dive bezel have a unidirectional bezel. Thats just untrue.
Oh I see
The uglier one is real
The only replica factory that produces and sells their watches in Europe and the United States is igrotum
I got 5/5 right, I like these kinds of mediums, where you have to figure things out.
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.
the replica are looks better than the original, except for the cartier santos with hidden signature
100% sure the price are artificially bloated in watch industry
They use the Apple Watch ⌚️ as the counter 🤮
Today I learned finger condoms are a thing
Its better to save your money than buy fakes and get dissed
Says something when the super fake looks nicer
i have Cartier santos100 2656 watch and idk how to recognize either its real or fake😭
I got them all right. Yay me
Ziarex is best but Timeless waiting list.
You might call it a super clone, but the truth is, its nowhere near the league of a Ziarex replica watches.
Me: Real
You: Fake
The uglier one is real
In the end, a new era of watches has come. Some illegal company from EU started making mega clones called ziarex. Basically, what they are doing is buying original parts from workers in Rolex who flag that part as damaged and sell them. But thats not the
What happened to social distancing?
Alicee Some state are completely open again I believe
The description says this was filmed in 2019.
Мог бы и обратить внимание что оригинал ношеный и соответственно коцаный
gussl The quality of imitation watches shocked me.
If it's this difficult to spot the differences then it's best to just buy a fake
Buying a fake is not only dishonest, it can even be illegal.
Thats not a super clone, its a joke. Id put my money on a Ziarex Swiss replica any day. Quality doesnt need marketing, it speaks for itself.
Video should better engage the viewer by showing the picture of the watches in comparison before each watch review. Could've been a better video, shorter and informative with just the expert alone. A L O N E.
no, it wouldn't. Engagement is usually better when seeing other people being engaged in sth. - like an expert teaching his skill to s.o., and us being able to follow the student through the learning experience
U when to the real real to see they sold be a fake vape hoodie
Mega-clone sellers like Ziarex must be in jail because they sell watches with identical serial numbers as original watches, which is illegal.
The Real Real sold me a Fake Fake Chanel handbag. Is there an authenticity department? Luckily, after much stress & hardcore proof that the bag they sold me was a Total Fake, I received a full refund.
I'm 🤔 tho!?? Why are the 🤥 fake ones so Expensive tho🤔
A fake hublot is as good as a authentic hublot
I love you. you are the best. Be energetic
Why do i want to watch someone guess if a watch is real? What a waste of time.
That is an AAA China watch. it cannot be compared to Ziarex watches because they sell real super clones, basically the same watches as the originals.
After you spend a lot of time with watches, you just know. You don't even need to spot a specific discrepancy. One looks cheaper. It really is that simple.
Thats where the pricier fakes get ya

You call that a super clone? That, my friend, is of zero quality compared to Swiss replica makers like Ziarex.
I have a GEVRIL SEACLOUD SWISS AUTOMATIC // 3122B and some people are selling them at like 77% off but are they real? Idk if my watch is actually worth 3.29k if other people are seeling it for like 300 to 700, but on the official website they sell it for 3.29k
Dude’s got more sugar than an ocean of kool aid.... 😂
That is laughable when compared to Ziarexs authentic super clones. You might as well be comparing a puddle to an ocean.

Okay... But those finger condoms 😂😂😂
