How To Choose Rolex Replicas – Personal Opinions

If you want to buy a daily watch, just skip gold plating models and directly go for stainless steel versions that age much better. But if gold plating versions are OK for occasional use.

Do some home work before buying. You’d better compare the replica with the pictures of the gen.

Here just list the things you must examine when doing comparison:

Look carefully at the crown guards, especially if they overlap the base of the crown when its screwed down, be suspicious if the rep pictures only show the crown unscrewed.

The rehaut (the metal ring between the crystal and the dial) should be near vertical. But some reps are so sloped they look like a wok.

The magnification of the date window under the cyclops should be 2.5x, but many reps get this wrong. Look at the gen pics or in a jeweler’s window to learn how it should look

The pearl in the bezel (non GMT watches) is a thing of beauty on the gens, most reps have more of a zit

Dial printing is always sharper on the gens but reps are pretty good these days, some people look at the exact size and spacing of the ‘SWISS MADE’ at 6 O’clock but even the gens have some variationS.

The crystal should have a tiny laser etched crown on the underside at 6 O’clock, if you can see it then its probably too big

An auto with a 28,800 bph rate is a must. The latest 21j Asian movements can do this now. But if you want ETA the clone version is cheaper,  and probably the best option these days (you may well get one anyway, even if you pay an extra $100 for a Swiss ETA).

Bear in mind that only Rolex sell a perfect sub so all reps have flaws and don’t get too picky about them and remember that most of people can not even spot a fairly poor fake watch but they will just simply assume it is because it bears the name of Rolex.
