How To Spot a Fake Rolex Watch – Can You Do It? 😱

Can you tell which of these two Rolex watches is fake? Seriously, can you?!...

--------------------------------

On this video, I'm gonna be going over a very important topic that I actually get a lot of requests about and it's, how to spot a fake Rolex.

Alright, so for Rolex there's a lot of different models that they have and there's a lot of different ones that are copied. I would say that the one that they did the best job on is the Submariner. It seems to be the one the that gets the closest to look exactly like the real product.

This particular example that I have here is a yellow gold Sub.

And I don't know about you guys, but the first thing that I spot right off the back is the color.

Right here with both of them in front of me, it's pretty easy to see which is the one that it is.

Obviously this one right here looking a little bit cheddar cheese gold is the one that in my opinion just shouts fake right off the back.

But to the untrained eye that could be something that maybe they won't pick up, especially if they don't have it side by side.

So the first thing that grabbed by attention when I actually saw the watch was the obvious color. I just feel like it's very sharp yellow, almost like it was ran over with a highlighter of sorts.

But the thing is I said OK well let's just say it's been sitting a hundred million years in a safe, which would highly be unlikely considering it's a pretty modern watch and maybe it's had some like oxidation. It kind of looks weird, whatever. You see it a lot of with the old school Presis.

But then comes the weight. I mean, the weight is a dead giveaway. The second you grab it in your hand, this thing feels like it's made out of titanium compared to the other one. I mean, if we go ahead and weight them side by side, you're gonna see the drastic difference.

So right off the back, we went for the color, then second was the weight. But let's see exactly what was the difference in weight.

Alright, so the obvious fake when you put it on the scale, it comes in at 148 grams, 147 around there.

Obviously weight too light. When you put the gold one on, I mean it's like a very big difference. It's at 221 grams.

So it's a big difference because obviously gold is a lot denser and way heavier than stainless steel and obviously this is not made out of the highest quality stainless steel, which is what Rolex uses.

So my guess is that obviously it's a stainless steel Sub that they kind of used like PVD coating of sorts and kind of just, in other words, gold plated it.

Another thing that I wanna point out is that all gold Rolexes...all modern gold Rolexes when you have the pins where the screws are for the removable links, they're not drilled all the way through, so on this side is the actual head of the screw, but on the reverse side it's gonna be a smooth polish where the actual screw doesn't perforate all the way through.

However, this gold Submariner clearly has the holes on the other side. Another red flag.

These are easy red flags that you guys could pick up at home and you don't have to be an expert like me that's touched hundreds and hundreds of these watches.

There is no gold Rolex where the bracelet, the pins where they pass all the way through. So you gotta keep that in mind. If you see a pinhole on both sides, that's a bad sign.

So this particular thing might be a little bit harder to find on a stainless steel watch because the stamps that come on a stainless steel model are not the same as the gold, but the gold one has very particular stamp and the one thing you're gonna notice is they just don't look anything the same. Of course they try to make them look very similar, but they don't. They're not the same stamp.

The Rolex crown doesn't look right and then there's of course the stamp of quality, which when you magnify it with the loupe like this one, you're gonna see that it's actually the head of a St. Bernard dog. You know, the original one is a very small stamp pressed into the gold that distorts the gold and leaves perfect shape. However, the fake one is pretty much just a very superficial scribble with a laser edge.

So remember, anything that's gold will always have the stamp of quality and that's a good thing that you can loupe and see it for yourself....
