Did my friend buy a fake Rolex?!?

Today we have Franco's watch on the bench, what should be a Rolex Explorer II reference 16570 but could this Rolex be a fake? He bought his watch for what he felt was a really good price, so good that he is a bit worried the watch might not be genuine...
Fake watches are a menace to the wrist watch industry and Rolex is the brand that is faked more than any other brand. A fake Rolex can in fact be bought openly online for a few hundred dollars and fakes are becoming increasingly difficult to spot. The best made fake watches look so much like the genuine ones that the only way to really determine whether your Rolex is fake or not is to open it up and look at the movement. And even there it can be difficult to see. So let's open Franco's watch up and see if it is really a proper Rolex Explorer II!
As always we will take a few detours, including a discussion about the gentle craft of dentistry and the intelligence of cats.

Price is only what you will pay for it. There are lots of alternatives for watches. If you can't afford a Rolex don't buy one. I know it's hard to feel emotion through text, so I am saying this statement in the least rude way possible.

@JavierHuerta Месяц назад

So true. When a chinese knock off can't be reliably identified, and costs 30X less than the real thing, you know the real thing is overpriced. I know that because I own a Starbucks sub, and bought a replica, so as not to risk the real thing so often. At times I've confused the rep with the original. The only way I know for sure which is which is by looking at the serial number.

@20cent Месяц назад

@@the_snopro Being able to afford doesn't mean you should. Or judging something as overpriced doesn't mean that you can't afford it. When a manufacturer with lower means and resources can make a 98% perfect copy of a product at 10-100x less than the genuine cost, only a vapid and dumb person would still justify and argue about one's ability to buy said product. I'm saying this in the least rude way possible.

@rkstevenson5448 Месяц назад

I honestly don't get why these guys making high-end knockoffs don't just start their own watch lines. I get that you don't have the "pedigree" of faking the brand name, but some of these fakes are so well-made that you'd think they would want to establish themselves as their own thing.

@wertj3977 Месяц назад

The finish is just okay, nice perlage and striping. But to the level of blowing one's mind? The high horology watches today can go toe to toe with old pocket watches when it comes to hand finishing. Lange handwerkunst, Phillipe Duffour, Romain Gauthier, Grand Seiko micro artist studio, just to name a few.

@john-paulsilke893 Месяц назад

It’s a trash finnish compared to a Patek. Still it’s obviously beautiful and in my eyes deserves a sapphire backplate. Honestly the Rolex 4130 movement although not finished like boutique brands is in my eyes the most beautiful. It’s like a Ford GT-40 in its ferocious and simple design unlike the clearly more beautiful Ferrari super cars. To be honest I’m more of a Pantera guy so not even that level of detail and beauty. (Look up those cars, beauty but only from 15ft away. Just brutal power with nothing but power and savagery without purpose. They don’t handle, they don’t feel good, and close up they are dirty and ugly. But they are powerful and really cool.)

@wertj3977 Месяц назад

Thanks for the channel and your always super interesting videos.

@mercuriall2810 Месяц назад

Thank you for another great video, Stian! Leaving out the hacking lever/bar when reassembling a movement has to be one of the most common and annoying oversights. One question regarding the epilame/fix-o-drop. I don’t know how much epilame surface treatments have changed over the years, but the epilame used by some movement makers such as Omega decades ago on the movement plates and bridges was very durable. It would survive a few cycles through ultrasonic watch cleaning machines. If Fix-o-drop is anywhere near as durable, I doubt that using pithwood to clean it off the escape wheel pivots will actually remove it. It might be interesting to dip the pivot into a drop of 9010 after cleaning it in pithwood to see if the oil is still repelled or not.

@VintageWatchServices Месяц назад

Oh yes, that hacking lever lying there in the tray when everything else is not... Yes, the epilame is said to be that durable still. But it comes off more easily with physical rubbing, which is why it comes off in pith wood and also on the pallet jewels when the escape wheel rubs against it. But it might indeed be interesting to see what happens after prodding the pivots into the pith 🤔

@rogeriocosta1035 Месяц назад

Nice! The fast jumping data function seems to be a good way to spot a fake one without even open the watch. It is probably the most expensive and difficult mechanism to reproduce without making the watch lose some some seconds close to the jumping time due to friction.

@DutchClawz Месяц назад

What do you mean? The instant date flip isn’t hard at all.. sadly there are a bunch of movements that show the same function as the real deal..

I was trying to explain this on another thread. I was recounting how a submariner cost £360 back in 1980. Someone replied to my comment that couldn't I understand that it was simply inflation. I think the price increases since then are a lot more than inflation.

@jameshisself9324 Месяц назад

@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv It's so ridiculous now that the market is full of speculative buyers, in it for the 'investment'.

@grzegorzmontar8432 thank you this is the point I was trying to make when I was pounced on by the world's leading economic expert. Rolex prices are 30+ what they were in 1980 way above inflation. Basically in the 2000s they revamped themselves in a higher luxury sector of the market. I was a junior clerk in the civil service in 1980 taking home about £350 a month an older worker would be averaging about £500 as you rightly say. Even I an 18 yo junior clerk could aspire to a Rolex. Today a submariner is a £10k+ watch. The 18 yo civil service clerk would need to be earning £120k per year.

@ThePaulv12 Месяц назад

Yes Stian, your dentist story reminds me of Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch. "Ohhh when I wooz yoong, we used to get up in the morning at half past 10 at night, half an hour before we'd gone to bed...." Recently I had a root canal and crown. The pain on one particular treatment was so bad I passed out in the chair. I'm an active type, mechanic by trade turned long distance truck driver. I live off grid, cut my own firewood so the point is pain is not unknown to me. Without hesitation I can state this, my 2nd root canal treatment, exposed me to the most pain I have ever felt in my life - including an arm break where my fingers were almost touching my elbow. My system just couldn't handle it and out I went like a light. I never passed out when I broke my arm. Woke up drenched in sweat then had to continue with the treatment after they gave me an orange juice. I had a 14 hour shift starting 1 hour after the treatment. And they say you can't remember pain ROFL... I'll never forget that day in this or the next 10,000 lifetimes. Re cats, down here in Australia it's not unknown for us to have a deadly snake or two about the place. In fact they're common. You haven't lived until you've had an eastern brown in your house. Cats are exceptional snake controllers. Snakes just don't like cats. My gnarly old male (GRHS) dealt with them decisively while my other cat watched on. Now she won't tolerate them. Since the cats are around no more snakes or rodents. A necessary evil are cats.

@VintageWatchServices Месяц назад

😳 I'm not a religious man at all but I'll happily pray to all gods that ever existed to avoid that experience... Ouch And yes, cats are very fascinating. Their reaction times are two or three times faster than a snake can strike, so I can imagine they're great to have in a country where everything can kill you :) Australia is a fantastic place btw, with some of the nicest people there are 💪

@mellifluousfable 25 дней назад

I would suggest that you’re either someone who has a resistance to the anaesthetic or that you need to find a different dentist. I’ve had two root canals in my time and have never felt a thing. In fact, I think I fell asleep in the chair at one point for a minute during the second one.

@Turnipstalk 4 дня назад

@@mellifluousfable I agree. Neither the British dentist who did my first two root canals in the 1990s or the Nigerian one who did one this year caused me even discomfort, though I did notice that the Nigerian dentist, who usually jokes with his dental nurse, went extremely quiet and serious while drilling what seemed like a junior oil well. Dentists do seem very variable in standard though. You really do need to ask around.

My grandfather could regulate those watches though he was not a watchmaker, he only did it for friends. Once I told an actual watch repairer this and he more or less called me a liar when I mentioned the screws on the balance wheel ("No watch would have that.") He had never seen a genuine Rolex. In those days the most accurate time signal was from the BBC. When my grandfather was regulating a watch he would set it by the BBC 6 o'clock signal, check it the next day and keep on until it was right.

The moment you put it on the timegrapher… I figured it wasn’t fake… I came across a high end fake and the movements aren’t that accurate. It was a super fake and it wasn’t terrible on the timegrapher but it was along the lines of a cheap Seiko automatic.

My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.

Seeing the insides and method, I am warming up to Rolex.

Yay!!! A new video! Question for you… I have a watch with the same (kif I believe) shock settings, and for the life of me, I cannot find them. One of mine is broken and needs replacing…

You might be able to buy some at a material house like cousins

Really enjoyed this presentation. I'm sure happy with my 1998 version.

When the Dentist found out that the next patient was a giant watchmaker he remembered when he paid for his last Rolex service and it was now payback time I mean Hammer Time. What no trouble in paradise. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿

This I a comment about Dentist you made. I am one and do not see my self as a sadist more like a helper for pain in the teeth. But I like the work you do one the Rolex. It is also very fine and very small parts. Using a microscoop is nice instrument and I also use for rootcanals and that is fine work and to reliëf pain, not to gif pain. Good luck whit watchmaking.

Thanks, Mike! I trust you understand my comments about dentists are very much tongue in cheek 😉
