There are several major points to look out for when buying a Rolex.

The biggest point being that Rolex do NOT endorse ANY selling of their watches online!!!

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

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

2. The 'cyclops' date window in a real version is dead centred above the number.

3. The quality of the printing on the dial should be perfect, with indicators and type evenly spaced and no fuzzy edges.

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.

5. Over where 'Swiss made' appears, the brand's logo is

laser-etched into the crystal. In a genuine Rolex, this is made

up of hundreds of dots set at different heights throughout the crystal

(so it doesn't create a weakness in the glass) and as such is barely visible - to see it clearly you have to look through a loupe (the small magnifying glass used by jewellers and watchmakers).

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 .

How can one spot a fake rolex?

There are a number of signs that a Rolex might be fake. If the price is very cheap then it is likely to be fake. One can also look for the magnification of the date on the watch which is 2.5 x on a real Rolex and often only 1.5 x on a fake Rolex. One can also tell by dipping the watch in water as all Rolex watches are water tight. If there is any leak inside the watch it is fake.


Does Timex have a similar mechanical structure as the high end companies such as Rolex?

No. Rolex watches are much better constructed. The casing, the movements are much better made. Due to the materials and workmanship, Rolex watches actually appreciate over time, while Timex watches will break and end up in the trash. Both will tell time, but Rolex watches will last longer. anonymous@oola.com
