I smashed the crystal on my Rolex submariner so I had to send it in to get repaired, apparently I jacked it up pretty good because they had to do a complete rebuild and it cost me over $1,200.00 US. To tell you the truth I can't tell the difference between my freshly rebuilt watch and my co-workers fake that he bought in the middle east for $25.00
There are now so many super clones around, that unless you had the ability two have a genuine and the replica that you may have bought, you’d probably not pass the tests that you’ve shown here. I’m surprised you haven’t seen one of the many videos that give much more detailed tests, many involving the bezel differences.
Although not exactly new information I'm pleased that you presented it as it's so easy to loose older videos that have been done before. Other tell tail signs include the action of the bezel, you will need to have experience with a genuine item for this and checking how the watch winds. The bezel should be creamy smooth with a damped feeling on rotation without back play, the winding should be very smooth as we.. Many thanks Harrison (as always) for sharing.
I showed my watch to a store and the woman there claimed mine wasn’t real because she said the band didn’t look real with the screws for the links. I took it to another jewelry and they said they were able to find all the markings of the real watch and that it was indeed a real Rolex. I educated myself and know it was real. I searched it carefully when I bought it from the Rolex store.
Also, the text ROLEX around the inside bezel aligns perfectly with the numbers on the dail where the R alings with the clock numbers on one half and the X aligns with them on the other half. And there are some fakes that are so abysmal that the cyclops isn't aligned perfectly. Real rolexes don't have such errors. Oh, and if Rolex is spelled wrong, it might be a fake. I have a really nice Bolex if anybody wants to buy it. :)
I insist I have just one fake watch on my collection is the GMT Master 2 I haven't compared with the real but non of the error you mentioned apply to the one I have there are far better superclones out there. The one you presented is so cheap fake just eye with that. I love your videos !!!
I would never buy a fake Rolex but I also wouldn't buy a genuine Rolex. The status of the Rolex name is just not worth the premium to me when there are so many amazing watches without the status symbol premium.
That's a really poor tell, plenty of gen Rolex are far from perfect in this area. It's not the rehaut, it's the dial rotation in the case and is an easy fix if it's a tiny amount out.
The latest super-clones have no font differences and identical bezel actions. They are at the point where it's virtually impossible to tell them apart without taking the case back off.
Love your videos Harrison but unless you have the thing in your hand there's zero ways to tell these days. The VSF, Clean, ZF are too tough to tell now. They're pretty much the real thing, it's whether or not you want to lie to yourself or not these days.
Even looking at the side by side comparison, I had very difficult telling the difference. How are we supposed to see the difference on wrist when walking around in real life?
Not at all. The bulk of the cost in a luxury watch is the development of unique design, research, history development through marketing. Its the millions spent on brand development that make one lust after a Rolex, its also the reason a person would consider purchasing a fake Rolex more than say a fake Concord watch. Point is manufacturing can be done very cheaply especially in low labor cost countries and that is because all the research, design and development that went into creating the “Submariner” was never borne by the fraud that is now making fakes.
@@michaelriera6277 Essentially we are paying for tens of millions spent in marketing and brand building rather than cost of goods sold. People love to talk about markups of tech companies like Apple but the conversation never gets around to luxury goods where MSRP is often 30x the cost to make it.
Hii. Please make option to deliver watches in your website to other countries as well. I live in Ireland and was recently trying to buy an oris from your website. But I was disappointed when I saw the products are been shipped only in UK.
You missed one "tell"...not necessarily the watch itself, but the person wearing the watch, does it fit their lifestyle? When it comes to Rolex, I see they were fined almost €92m for preventing authorized Rolex dealers in France from selling their watches online. It's not just the fake watch dealers with the shady business practices 🤔
Videos such as these are watched by those who make the fakes. They get to see how to correct the mistakes in their fakes so they can look more genuine.
I have a Longines and a Tudor. I might buy a replica Breitling or Omega as I don’t want to spend another 10K on watches and I like the look of some watches. I don’t see them as criminals, they’re honestly just Chinese people making a living. That said, if you don’t have genuine watches and you wear fake watches that you can’t afford you’re a fraud.
@@Aaron-fb1pq "you don't see them as criminal" ?? Then you are Nieve - Chinese fake watches fund criminal gangs , drug money , slave labour , sex trafficking, child labour , sweat shops and even terrorist organisations and supporters They are not poor Chinese just trying to feed the family Think again.
