Rolex is one of the most coveted luxury watches on the planet known for its quality, style, and prestige. Even if you are not a huge fan of watches, chances are that you have heard about Rolex watches.
In this post, I'm going to try to tell you how to make sure that you are not buying a replica watch
How to Tell if the Watch is Fake or Real?
- Know Your Seller
The first and the most important thing I would emphasize is that you must buy from a trusted seller only.
If you have decided to buy this type of watch from unauthorized sellers, from one of the e-commerce websites, you need to be careful. Because these are just platforms that bring sellers and buyers together. You might become a victim of entrusted sellers. Rolex watches are very expensive and there are some people who sell fake Rolex watch online. Therefore, I highly recommend you to not purchase from such website.

Never by from online selling websites, as they are likely to have dishonest sellers. Always try to buy from authorized resellers. Go to Rolex's website and try to find your nearest retailer. It is easy. Right?!
- The Serial Number
Serial Number or Model number of Rolex is one thing that you need to check prior to purchasing the watch. The original one will have its serial number and model number very perfectly and precisely engraved with fine lines. The fake one will have some dots and faints, because of the low quality of of marking. Notice that you will need remove the band to find the serial number.
- Second Hand Movement
This is one important criteria to spot the fake Rolex. The authentic Rolex will have very smooth second hand movement, whereas the fake one's pattern will "Click, Click, Click,...." . You can listen carefully to the watch. If you hear noise, a quiet "tick, tick, tick", then this watch is absolutely a real Rolex

- magnification Lens
The genuine Rolex's magnifies the date to 2.5 times, to be easy to read. The fake one, on the other hand, won't magnify the date. It is just a normal glass. Yes, some will magnify, but not as the actual Rolex does.
- Weight
Another thing to distinguish between a genuine Rolex and Fake Rolex is the weight. The Genuine one will weigh more than the replica one, due to the special materials used to manufacture the real one. Notice that this criteria might be difficult to use to spot the fake Rolex, but you still can use it.
- Water Test
Another way to determine whether your Rolex is real or not before you buy is to see if it is waterproof. While the real one is made to be a waterproof, the forger one won't stand against the water test. There are more tests you can perform. Just google them That's all for today. Good luck with your Rolex purchase
