Hello and good afternoon.

 

Rolex is a widely known as a status symbol. Rolex has such a long and successful history of quality and precision timepieces that last for generations, so they typically have a high resale value, compared to the rest of the industry. Most other watch brands do not have as strong of a resale value as those of Rolex watches.

 

You have to know how to identify the Rolex watch is authentic or fake. So today we want to discuss the simple ways to spot a fake Rolex.

 

1-SERIAL & MODEL NUMBER STAMPING

If the Rolex still have the certificate, it easier to know the serial and model of the Rolex. This because at the certificate already have the serial and model number of the Rolex. We can know this information without open the bracelet. But sometimes all the accessories like card, box and etc.. is lost so you need to open the bracelet. By this way we can know the serial and model of this Rolex. 

The serial and model numbers on a genuine Rolex are deep and perfectly marked in solid compare with the fake. The engraving also smooth when we touch it.

Every authentic Rolex will have serial and model number engraving on beside the bracelet. You can check the photo below:

 

If you open the bracelet and the Rolex watch don’t have any engraving of serial and model number, so the Rolex watch is a fake one.

 

2-MOVEMENT

There are 3 types of Movement in Rolex which is Self-Winding, Manual Winding, and Quartz. The self-winding (Automatic) model is the most common one. It is simply a mechanical watch with a mainspring wound by the motion of the wearer’s arm.

 

To check the movement, need to open the back case. So, we can know the caliber number. Different model of Rolex have different of calibre number. The genuine movement will always have “Rolex” engraved on it. 

Please check the photo below:

 

When you open the back case and you do not see any engraving of Rolex and the calibre number so the Rolex watch is fake. Yoi can check the photo below:

 

Hope with this discussion will help you to identify which one is authentic Rolex and fake Rolex.
