Tips for Identifying an Authentic Rolex Watch from the Fake One

As a high end watch brand, Rolex watch is admired by many people who would like to own one to stand out their personality but was stopped by its dear price. As an alternative for those people, replica Rolex watches are now all over in the market. For those who could afford the genuine one and would not pay hundreds of dollars for the intimated one, here I would like to share with you some tips for identifying an Authentic Rolex.

Mind the price
Sometimes just from the price of the timepiece you could tell a lot. Why? Those genuine Rolex wristwatches are often sold high due to its top quality, exquisite craftsmanship and brand fame. If the price is just “too low to be true”, then you’d properly do not believe it. It is likely the fake one.

Check the quality
As mentioned above, the genuine one is usually made of graded quality and exquisite craftsmanship. So there shouldn’t be a scratch on the face or neither loose nor uneven stitch is seen on the genuine one. If you spot those faults or flaws in the Rolex, it could be the replica one.

Inspect the identity
As a Rolex timepiece, the brand logo is the name card of the watch. The authentic Rolex would have logo laser etched in the crystal which could be spotted with a special jeweler’s glasses. The fake one rarely has this logo laser. Besides the logo, there are serial numbers engraved between the strap lugs. They have relation with the case and registered design number and identify each Rolex.

In fact, if you buy the watch from the Rolex authorized shop, you’ll never get the wrong one. But sometimes we need to buy from other sources, with those tips, I am sure that you could spot the intimated Rolex watches skillfully.
