In this video I compare a Rolex GMT Master II to a fake super clone of the same model type family. We dive into the inside of the watch too to see where the corners are really cut.
Disclaimer: Don't buy fake watches - when buying such a watch, you are supporting criminal enterprises. You're also lying to not only everyone around you, but also yourself. If you can't justify spending that much money on a real Rolex watch there are plenty of other watches I cover on this channel like Casio, Hamilton, Luminox, Tissot, Seiko, and many more that offer far better quality for less than $600.

Ways To Spot
1. The finishing level on the lugs and the bezel itself is not at the same level. They look like rapid and rushed brushings rather than beveling that's been carefully considered for its aesthetics.
2. The rehaut with the engraved above the dial is too far to the right and doesn't align properly and the cut out words are too wide and roughly cut (though the last part is hard to notice without a loupe and the real Rolex nearby.
3. The crown wobbles as you try to turn it. I'm not sure what exactly they got wrong on the tolerances here. Granted, I've had the same feeling on vintage Rolex's, so it's not entirely uncommon, but it does raise some red flags.
4. The movement feels gritty when turned. Granted, it feels quite close to the real rolex, but just not quite there. The extra feeling of sand in the movement is subtle, but there. When you overwind the watch, it also has a clicking feeling, as if the mainspring is not wanting to slip inside the barrel or as though the mainspring barrel outer wall wasn't oiled well enough to allow the mainspring to slip. This function of slipping is in all automatic watches and requires the proper lubrication to avoid damaging the mainspring.
5. The bezel feeling is not there. Originally, the watch was very gritty to turn and didn't feel right at all, but it's worn down. The fake now is still off and still has some feeling of metal on metal resistance, while the real Rolex feels very smooth and perfect.
6. Inside the watch, the balance wheel is not a free sprung balance, the caliber inside is incorrect for the reference this is trying to clone, and it is filled with hairs, dust, and marring on the bridges and screw heads. Overall the inside is cobbled together and functions, but just barely.
7. The date wheel has text that is too bold compared to the real Rolex.
