How can you tell the age of a Cartier watch?
Fine watches will bear individual serial numbers, as will their internal movements, which may or may not match. Many watch companies focus their efforts on the external aesthetics of the watch case, bracelet and dial design, while purchasing the watch movements from another firm entirely, notably the movement designer ETA. Contacting the manufacturer can confirm whether the movement serial number matches the case serial number, which model these corresponded to, and the year of manufacture. Most manufacturers know that the resale market and demand for vintage timepieces is an important factor in their ability to command high prices for their products, and will have a method for researching this information, usually without charge, although some will require that it be sent to them. It is also worth noting that counterfeit watches of a given type will usually all have the same serial number (as individually numbering them adds to the production costs, so they are simply cast or pressed into the molds). A fine watch company will usually not return a fake submitted for service or verification. There are also many websites dedicated to celebrating different makes of fine timepieces. Many have resources to match serial numbers to year of manufacture or model. These will be user-compiled, as so won't be absolutely exhaustive, but will get you in the ballpark.

How do you tell the age of a pocket watch?
Inside the the back of the watch there will most likely be the dates of servicing scratched in. On the movement there should be the makers name, date and often a serial number. Libraries and websites (example below) carry catalogues and books on antique time pieces and should be able to tie the serial to a date. A good watchmakers or auction house will also be able to tell. If the watch case is English and the case is either silver or gold, the hallmark system will indicate when and where it was assayed and the karat weight of gold in the case; there being only one value for sterling silver. Often a makers or sellers case and face could be fitted with a variety of different movements, altering the value of watches that look very similar. The design of the case and any pastoral scenes, machine turning, enameling etc on it could also give a rough indication of age, as can whether the winding is by key or button. A fusee movement is often an indication of quality.

How do you tell if a Rolex watch is real?
1. Easiest way is to look at the "caseback" if it is skeletonised or see through it is obviously a fake, Rolex did not make their watches that way with the exception of a watch that was made in the 30's but never went into production. 2. Fakes are made with cheap parts, ie metal, dials, bands... 3. The second hand on a real Rolex sweeps around the clock, fakes tick, be careful to watch though cause some good fakes will tick at 8 times per second and you will hardly notice. 4. Look at the serial between the lugs on top the watch. Check the serial in an internet search or with a reputable dealer. Also notice if the serial ends in a 14 or 18 indicating the weight of the gold used in the watch. 5. On a real Rolex the bezel will spin counter-clockwise for 120 clicks, just count it a quarter of the way and see if it's 30 clicks then multiply 30 x 4 = 120. 6. Rolexes have a triple crown stamp on the end of the dial. Also where it says Swiss Made is basically right under the bezel on the bottom of the face. The date magnification on a real Rolex will be magnified at 2.5x and fakes are usually at 1.5x.
