While fake watches have their serial numbers acid-etched into the metal, a Rolex serial number is always profoundly engraved. The band&#8217;s serial number is found on an actual Rolex where it meets the lug. And will deeply engrave The numbers in the metal of an authentic Rolex. The engraved numbers on the watch will catch the light when you tilt it toward the light, shining brightly to reveal an entirely symmetrical number. A simple Google search can identify a fake Rolex because they frequently have an incorrect model case number.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Engravings_and_waterproof_cases\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Engravings and waterproof cases<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches have a minimum water resistance level of 330 feet.

The date will be magnified by 2.5 times its standard size thanks to the Cyclops lens on the face of the genuine Rolex. Another red flag is if your date needs to be magnified or appears to be magnified significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Weight_or_heft\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Weight or heft<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You will only get scammed if you know how to recognize a fake Rolex. An authentic Rolex watch will always weigh more than a replica. Buy from a certified Rolex dealer instead of a pawn shop or secondhand store. The watch probably needs to be more authentic if the price seems too good. A fake Rolex watch is most likely made of inferior metal and is light in your hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Modern Rolex watches, in particular, have a &#8220;solid&#8221; feel from the genuine metal&#8217;s heavyweight all over the watch. The quartz dial movements of the cheapest fakes make them simple to identify.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4288 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"rolex watches fakes how to spot\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9982599-min-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Winding_Crown\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Winding Crown<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A simple-looking crown typically moves the minute and hour hands on a fake Rolex. An incredibly intricate Rolex crown logo can be found on the watch&#8217;s crown. The crown logo on a special edition Rolex is typically constructed from two or more pieces of metal attached. Look closely at the crown and crown logo with a magnifying glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Smooth_hand_movements\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Smooth hand movements<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The second hand on a genuine Rolex will move in minute ticks that, at first glance, appear smooth. On a fake, the second hand is probably seen ticking away, stuttering its way around the face with each passing second. Additionally, it is not a genuine Rolex if the hands tick when they move.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Case_back\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Case back<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Looking at the watch&#8217;s case back, which is almost always made of plain metal, is the simplest way to identify a fake Rolex. Most fake stickers aren&#8217;t holograms; instead, they&#8217;re just repetitive Rolex patterns that look the same no matter how they&#8217;re viewed. Despite the hologram appearing to be accurate, a genuine Rolex watch with a Blue\/Black &#8220;Batman&#8221; bezel released only in 2015 is a fake.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Metal_Quality\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Metal Quality<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rolex does not produce gold-plated or 14k gold watches and bracelets. A genuine Rolex is made of platinum, 18-karat gold, or stainless steel. A fake Rolex has faded gold or metal showing through the gold.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Mechanical_and_self-winding_movements\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mechanical and self-winding movements<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The quality of Rolex&#8217;s craftsmanship is often unmatched. The word &#8220;Rolex&#8221; must be embossed on the movement. Different Rolex models have engravings in different places on the movement. You need to open the watch to be able to find out.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4289 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"find out if rolex is real\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-scaled-600x374.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/pexels-antony-trivet-9896931-min-1536x957.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the now-vintage Rolex in Oysterquartz, Rolex also created many quartz watch designs, mainly from the 1960s and 1970s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You now have some information that will prevent you from purchasing a fake watch, as well as some tools that will remind you how to recognize a fake Rolex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The next time you go shopping, these tips will come in handy for ensuring you buy an authentic item that you can keep forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>more on <a href=\"https:\/\/nextfashionera.com\/category\/watches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chronographs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"603C3BBA_35E8_99A3_6E2E_CF428A237CD9\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"603C3BBA_35E8_99A3_6E2E_CF428A237CD9\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"603C3BBA_35E8_99A3_6E2E_CF428A237CD9\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can continue paying for a fake Rolex watch by learning to recognize one.
