Real Oakleys have amazing eye protection and quality frames that wont break easily. Fake is the opposite of what I said!
Real crystals are formed by natural geological processes, such as crystallisation from magma or precipitation from water. Fake, or synthetic crystals are made by humans. This can be done using crystal growing kits or, for more realistic results, in laboratories where conditions found in nature are simulated.
Separate them into three groups of four. Compare two of them on the balance scale. If they weigh the same, the other group contains the fake one. If one weighs less, it contains the fake one. Then separate the group with the fake one into two groups of two. Whichever one weighs less has the fake one. Then separate the group with the fake one into two. The fake one weighs less than the other.
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.
there use to be a time when you can just look at a fake Rolex and determine that it is fake, but in recent years the quality of fake watches has gone up considerably? But here are some things to look for. # 98% of all Rolex watches sold are mechanical movements, so if the Rolex you have has a quartz movement and the second hand is ticking away rather than moving gradually across the dial then you have a fake. # Most Rolex watches are heavy. If yours is light and comparable to the weight of a quartz watch then you probably have a fake. # Take a look at back of the case and on the bracelet itself. The word Rolex should be stamped on both. If not then you have a fake. # Modern Rolex watches are made using Sapphire crystals and are cold to the touch. Much older Rolex watches were not so if the watch you have looks new but doesn't have a sapphire crystal then it is probably fake. Look at the crystal from the side of the watch. The crystal will usually be raised and you can see a prism effect. If you see the prism effect then it is a sapphire crystal.
you can tell a genuine rolex simply by the paperwork and registration card that will come with any quality watch....it only takes a phone call owning a fake or a stolen rolex will be useless as you can never get it serviced or legitimatly repaired.

E.J. Svoboda Many of these watches are replicas. Very expensive watch some are as much as Rolex. If you see one for less, it's probably a fake.
It would not be illegal to buy it, but if you represent it as a real Rolex when you sell it you will be violating international copyright laws as well as the Hobby Protection Act. No, but it is illegal to be the one selling a fake rolex or fake anything.

First thing would be the the Date should be magnified 2.5x most fakes will only be magnified 1.5x another thing would be look on the back of the watch there should be no engravings on it NO rolex will have it also looking at the back you shouldn't see any workings as no real rolex has that. Check the quality of the crown some of the fakes are done very bad and rolex wouldnt sell a watch with any flaws on it.
Rolex does not make fake watches but other companies do make them. Some look very real ,so check with a reputable jeweler before you buy one.
