how to indentify a authentic rolex watch?

Answer 1

1. Rolex has never manufactured a watch with a see-through case. If you see a glass-back case on a watch, move on. You’re not looking at a Rolex.

2. Rolex has never fabricated a case or a band with even the smallest amount of rubber. You know it’s a fake if you feel rubber.

3. Skeleton dials display the moving parts of a timepiece. A skeleton dial may look trendy, but that doesn’t mean it’s a Rolex.

4. Oyster Perpetual Rolex watches always have a screwed-back case – never a pop-up.

5. Rolex Oysters are fabricated of stainless steel, gold or platinum. Chrome or chrome-plate is never used.

6. Only men’s full-size Rolex watches have day and date features.

7. The case of a Rolex President is platinum, 18-karat yellow or white gold – never stainless steel or two-tone stainless and gold.

8. Rolex watches are not gold-plated – ever. In the quest for how to identify a Rolex watch; look for either 14 or 18-karat gold.

9. Surprise, surprise. Rolex does make a watch with a quartz movement – the Perpetual Oyster, but be careful before you buy. Quartz movements comprise fewer than 10% of all Perpetual Oysters. The other 90% are conventional automatic Rolex movements.

10. Rolex is a Swiss company that in years past manufactured watches in various other countries including the U.S, Mexico, Italy and Venezuela – but never China. A “Chinese-made Rolex” is a genuine fake.

Answer 2

Hey, you've been sold a fake. You could take the positive view, that it looks like a Rolex, and, so long as it keeps going for six months or so, you will have paid no more than a genuine Rolex owner over the same time period. You don't have to worry too much if it gets stolen. If it ticks for more than a few months, and you don't get it stolen, you are, as we say in the UK, quids in. Did you, honestly, expect a genuine article for $50?? If you did, you are silly, and I don't think you really are.

Answer 3

take it to a jewler, on the movement inside the watch it will be stamped rolex.

From Ebay:

you can remove the watch band. Check between the lugs at the 12 position and see if it has an engraved "Registered Design" number. If you see no number, it is fake. Now check between the lugs at the 6 position. Here you should see a serial number of the case. If there is no number, it is fake.

Answer 4

eBay and tons of other sites offer information on verfiying authenticity of designer items. (Just got done writing up a paper on counterfeit Louis Vuitton). Just go to search and type in "identify counterfeit" or something to that effect, you'll get tons of advise. The best way to know is to consider the distribution channel and price. If it came from Wal-Mart (who just got sued by Fendi (MHLV) or you got an unbeleivable deal on it, it's probably fake.

Answer 6

the part where there is an extra glass on the date should be as one piece with the glass of the face. it should not be pasted on.

Answer 7

If it requires a battery or needs to be wound, it's not the real thing.

Answer 8

you just snatch it and see weather the shopkeeper are chasing you or not. if it's real, you'll spend your night in a police station :p (oh yeah, there's a probability you'll end up there if it was't real)

Answer 9

if the second hand ticks (jumpy movement) its fake...if it goes around smoothly it could be real...just bring it to a jewler if you cannot tell
