  Due toRolexThe brand is deeply rooted in people's minds domestically, so in recent years fake Rolex watches have flooded the domestic market to the extent that you can buy a Rolex at a small stall for just a few tens of yuan. So how do you identify a genuine Rolex? Let's take a look together.

  Methods for identifying genuine Rolex watches

  1. First, look at the bracelet

  1, generally counterfeit Rolex bracelets have relatively rough craftsmanship, especially the two-tone versions, which are more noticeably prone to poor edge finishing on the gold plating.

  2, a genuine two-tone bracelet shows a relatively substantial cross-section when bent, and the thickness is not uniform, whereas fake ones have a uniform thickness.

  3, on a genuine two-tone bracelet, the gold section in the middle is parallel to the outer steel section, feeling relatively smooth to the touch, whereas on fakes the gold section is slightly lower than the outer steel section, giving a clear feeling of transition to the touch.

  4, most counterfeit Rolexes also lack engravings on the clasp position.

  2. Look at the case structure

  1, the biggest feature of counterfeit Rolex cases is that they frequently "mix and match", often combining different model series to cobble together a new product, likely to reduce costs.

  2, some counterfeit Rolexes even have material descriptions printed on the case back that do not match the watch, for example, a steel model might be stamped with two-tone material details.

  3. Distinguish genuine from fake by the dial

  1, there are many rough areas on the dial of a counterfeit Rolex watch, such as diamonds of varying sizes and misaligned positions. The luminescence points are misaligned, the date window is misaligned with the dial, and some have the production serial number printed on the glass bezel.

  4. Laser security mark

  1, Rolex has etched a very small logo at the six o'clock position on the sapphire crystal since 2002. This logo is extremely small and requires a magnifying glass or loupe to see. If it features an S mark, it indicates that the crystal has been replaced.

  2, the crystal logo on a genuine article consists of 152 dots, with 7 dots for the crown tip and 14 dots for the open circle. Due to the fine craftsmanship, counterfeit watches cannot achieve this level of detail.

  5. Distinguish genuine from fake crowns (winding crowns)

  1, the crown of a genuine Rolex has a circular shape that looks somewhat like a smiling mouth, hence commonly known as the "smiling mouth", whereas counterfeits end up with a frowning mouth due to manufacturing issues. This can be easily distinguished by comparison.

  Having said that, I would like to recommend a popular Rolex watch. Please add me on WeChat for further enquiries.

  Review:

  ◆ As a representative masterpiece of diving watches, the Rolex Green Submariner is definitely a leader among diving timepieces. If you want a true diving watch, you might want to consider it;

  ◆ The dial size of 40MM is moderate, making it suitable for all wrist sizes. It can be paired with both formal and casual wear. Compared to the black or white of ordinary watches, the emerald green dial of the Rolex Green Submariner is a colour that is relatively difficult for most people to pull off, but it is also a very show-stopping colour, suitable for those who pursue individuality.

  ◆ The price remains consistent with the previous selling price of V6, and it is also equipped with A2836 and SA3135 movements, ensuring accurate timekeeping and bringing everyone a perfect timing experience.

  Summary: Rolex watches combine unparalleled precision performance with unique designs, creating exemplary works that embody the highest level of haute horlogerie. The Rolex watches I recommend are well-crafted with guaranteed quality. If you wish to purchase, please add me on WeChat for consultation.
