A UK tabloids idiots guide to fake Rolex

[lecatt]

Found this whilst trawling the net, the lack of knowledge by sellers in the 'real' watch game, of rep watches, really suprises me!

Wonder where he ordered from - made to order in 3 weeks

Wow!!! all the things we didn't know about fake Rolex watches

1. Rolex watches are fitted with a sapphire crystal (the glass face

of the watch) that can only be scratched with a diamond.

6. If you remove a Rolex bracelet you should find the watch’s case number and model number engraved on the side at six o’clock and 12 o’clock .

4. The genuine Rolex movement sweeps smoothly round at about 28,800 revs per hour – each second is broken down into eight steps. Even when a fake uses a Swiss-made movement, the second hand’s ticking is usually visibly jerky.

So i guess my old school noob 16570 must be a gen according to these statements!!!

The left one could have fooled me though...sels are so nicely done

I really love articles like this one!!!

Thanks for sharing L

And for all we know, he is current member of RWG and is the proud owner of many "genuine" replica's..You know , the Ultimate _________.

I find it funny that he mentiones that those 2 watches having swiss movements when for all intent purposes are Asian 21j powered.

Rase in platinum price perhaps?

You might be right if that graph continues on it's last trajectory!

I wonder how much platinum is in/on a dial?

The YM bezel is also made of platinum as well and since this is a ROLEX regardless the quantity of this precious metal

used what you pay are the marketing costs and the brand name.But this is a long long story!!!

And i agree that this kind of price difference in two years time is kinda strange.

Just had to be the Daily mail!! Oh how I despise that POS rag!!

"One of the tells is the logo on the crystal, made of tiny dots, you need a loupe."

I think he needs the loupe, cause all my rollies have "tiny dots" on too!!

Sixx.
