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

[Darkangel]

i wonder if any of the counterfeiters are actually watchmakers, and as such create a 1:1 replica of the real deal. Not for the sake of selling, but to find out the real cost of a rolex

I think the cost of a rolex is not high say ard less than a $100 for a SS model? but of course the gold pieces are more expensive due to the material

I think the high cost is due to the amount of R&D and advertisements that rolex does.

true...well said....the replicas movements are light years from the original...lol....afterall rolex uses their in-house movements...not ETA...hahaha..so very hard to replicate...lolz...

[Darkangel]

Yup...my rule is...the only thing a replica cannot replicate is the quality....it can imitate the looks ONLY...thats the most it can do

Of course from far it looks identical..but when of course when u touch it...it's a world of difference

Agree with DA. Sometimes hard to tell from photos... Especially at the angles and lighting condition which they are taken in. But once you handle enough Rolexes, you will likely know it when you hold a fake one.

not as refined, but out in the urban jungle and to those not familar with the minute details of watches, it can pass off as real

Yup...that's true

I had a chance to handle a fake 16710LN once. In comparison to my real 16710LN ... moving things like the crown, bezel etc. felt rough on the fake... but what was most telling... in the hand the fake was notably lighter.

[seiko.citizen]

that is scary man, all the minute details put together really make a fake look very damn close

[feudallordcult]

Comparison between genuine and fake Sub LV...scary!
