Guide : Comparison between Real & Fake Rolex ( good read page 15 &16)

[Oceanklassik]

would Oceanklassik like to sponsor one?

If I have, I don't mind to bring but where can I buy one in Singapore. I don't mean those 'obvious' fakes. Not worth the compare. Regretting it now I didn't buy few from China, when I last visited months ago. It costs between S$60-S$80, and the fakes looked rather real..

I agreed with u...the staff told me that super grade one need about S$450... i would rather use it in future for rolex servicing

Ask her $450 can bring into Rolex for servicing ...then you buy

[Darkangel]

This gives me an idea to share here for the next/coming mega meet-up ! May be the forum committee can consider to obtain and bring few fakes to the meet-up, as purely a form of education for us amateurs?

Zidane! You bring your Black daytona along....I got a black "daytona" can use to compare

i see from the other perspective. you need to handle both real and fake to at least know how to see the difference.

Thanks for sharing. As i seldom get the chance to handle a fake rolex.

Some points to spot the fake Rolex Submariner 16610

Today very free and went to JB biggest fake watch shopping center and did some research on fake watch....

1. Try to shake your watch, genuine very hardly hear to movement swing...fake watch can hear it very clearly.

2. The second hand with the superluminova round will be just beside the X (Rolex) once sweep at 1 o'clock position...fake watch a bit far from X.

3. Viewed through a 15x loop, the dial print very clear and "more 3 D"...fake watch just print on dial like photocopy on paper.

4. Series no. engraved on charter ring very smooth and clear....on the fake, the engraver seems to start and stop many times leaving build up in the "ditch" each time...

5. The series no. started from 27 minutes position and ended at 33 minutes position...3rd no. exactly at 6 o'clock position...eg V123456, V at 27 minutes position, 6 at 33 minutes position, 3 at at 6 o'clock position.

6. Genuine Rolex watch, "Rolex Rolex" engraved on charter ring started with center of 'R' from 7 o'clock position....you will be see 'R' at 7, 8,9,10,11 o'clock position...Rolex Crown engraved at 12 o'clock position....on the right side, the 'R' at 6,11,16,21 minuets position...'X' ended at 5 o'clock position

7. The laser coronet is at the lower edge of the crystal at 6 o'clock position and is so small that one can hardly see it with the naked eye. It can be found most simply if you take a look from the opposite side with strong oblique light directed upon the crystal. Usually only a small mark on the crystal can be seen, which, viewed with the help of a loupe, becomes a coronet...fake watch corroded or etched coronet with a thicker, more constant structure as a result will be more easy to see it with the naked eye.

8. Clasp Codes tally with year of production...my genuine V series with LT2 i.e. 2009 production...fake watch doest'n tally to watch series no. ...eg. fake watch with M (2008 production) series engraved on charter ring but with Clasp Codes is MA (2005 production), some fake watch do not have Clasp Codes.

9. The latest bracelet don't have numbers on end pieces that affix to the head...fake watch still produce as per old version...but some fake watch really 'updated' with latest bracelet.

10. The movement is the best way to spot the fake watch, according to internet source, fake watch using china made movement...recently fake watch try to copy authentic rolex 3135 movement but based on china movement as well....The problem for us is that we unable to open the movement to verify

The above just my owned view...feel free to add on you view...let all the members know more how to spot the fake watch...
