In rome - they do it all the time but it is illegal, so dont do 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.
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.
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.
Uh, exactly like a real Rolex LOL.

To the best of my knowledge( and its not much) a real Rolex has a "sweep movement" where the 2nd and moves smoothly as opposed to a fake Rolex that may have a "quartz" movement-the 2nd had pauses briefly
This is an interesting, and somewhat alarming question. Are you enquiring as to whether there are replica turkeys on sale in the street markets of Valletta? No, would be the answer to that. Or perhaps you are wondering whether it is possible to buy fake rolex watches on the island? Probably. You can buy fake rolex watches in most places. But I would not base a vacation around this.
There are a lot of different ones, they can sell for £2000-10,000. but be careful I bought one a few years back and it turned out to be a fake, there are a lot of them about.
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.
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.
The Rolex manufactory is in Bienne, Switzerland. The Rolex headquarters are in Geneva.
