Replica Rolex Watches Introduction
many people are buying and selling replica rolex over the internet. and most are honest people representing their product correctly. however, some are either intentionally or unintentionally representing their watches as something they are not. here are five ways to teach your how to choose one nice quality replica rolex watches.
probably one of the easiest ways to identify a fake rolex is by the caseback. bad quality watches will often use a clear display, or "skeleton" caseback, thus allowing you to view the inner workings of the dkny watch watch. the problem is rolex does not make such a watch, therefore, these models are easily identified as counterfeit.
in addition to the "clear casebacks" listed above, engraved casebacks are another easy way to identify counterfeit rolex watches. again, rolex does not engrave the caseback with logos, hallmarks, or designs (as shown in the example above). genuine rolex models will have a "smooth" caseback, and are free of these engravings.
hologram stickers... genuine rolex models are shipped new from the factory with a hologram-encoded (3-dimensional) sticker on the audemars piguet watches caseback. this sticker features the trademarked rolex "crown" positioned above the watch's case reference number. the hologram can be easily identified by viewing it from different angles, thus causing the background pattern to change.
however, "most" counterfeit stickers are not holograms at all, but rather simply a repetitious "rolex" pattern which does not change in appearance when viewed from different angles. it is worth mentioning that the genuine rolex hologram stickers did not feature the "crown logo" as a part of the hologram until (around) 2002, when the sticker was redesigned. at that time, the reference number was also changed from gold lettering to black, as it is currently.
date magnification... for authentic rolexes, the crystal (on all current date models--excluding the sea-dweller) will have a glass bubble, or "cyclops" attached to the crystal, positioned over the date. its purpose is to magnify the tiny aperture and does so at 2.5 times magnification.
however, on most counterfiet models the date magnification is more like 1.5 times, at best (as shown in the example above). this may not sound like much of a difference, but when looking at the dates side- men's breitling by-side it's obvious. the date window should practically "fill up" the cyclops--the fakes don't even come close. it is worth mentioning that some counterfeits are now featuring a new larger font date wheel to give the "illusion" of being magnified at a full 2.5 times.
