Personally I don’t own a Rolex (I can’t afford it); and only one of my close friends does. But if I were to get one, I’d make sure it’s the real deal. When it comes to luxury items like Rolex, if it’s not authentic, I don’t want it. Not just because I don’t want people to suspect I’m wearing a fake watch; it’s mostly because I’d know it was fake and that would make me feel weird and uncomfortable. Now let’s get into it, shall we?
For some of us, owning a Rolex is more than just a dream; it’s a statement of success and an emblem of timeless elegance. But with so many counterfeits flooding the market today, it’s crucial to know how to protect your BIG investment.
So here are some expert tips from Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of SwissWatchExpo and a watch connoisseur on how to spot a fake Rolex.
1. Feel the Weight: A genuine Rolex is substantial. If it feels light, it’s likely not the real deal. Quality materials equal quality weight!
2. Inspect the Dial & “Cyclops” Lens: The dial should be flawless—no smudges or misaligned fonts. Plus, that Cyclops magnifier? There’s a bump over the date you can feel!
3. Watch the Second Hand: Pay attention to how the seconds hand moves. It should glide smoothly—not tick!
4. Examine the Caseback: Authentic Rolex watches have plain polished metal case backs. If it has engravings or a clear window showing the inner workings, it’s a fake.
5. Choose Your Dealer Wisely: Always purchase from a reputable dealer like SwissWatchExpo. Look for online testimonials, affiliations with respected organizations, and guarantees of authenticity.
Remember: Knowledge is power! Protect your investment and ensure your Rolex is as authentic as your achievements.
