- In this video I am showing you the 7 most important tells to spot a FAKE ROLEX!
I am comparing a real Rolex Submariner 166610LN with a 600$ High end replica.
Follow me on IG: bit.ly/36QAVhs
Disclaimer: Please do not buy fake watches - when buying such a watch, you are supporting criminal structures and lets be real: Fake watches are for fake people. If you can't justify spending that much money on a watch there are plenty of other watches and watch brands out there, that offer an amazing quality for less than 600$.
Tell #1: Finishing on the brushed parts
he brushing on a Rolex submariner is extremely fine and when looking at the fake one, you can tell that they definitely tried to emulate that. And to be honest, they actually did a really good job! The polished flanks of the case are well done and the links on the bracelet look good, too. But the main giveaway here is definitely the brushing on the clasp. You can tell that- probably - a machine worked the brushing into the clasp by those thin, straight lines. Compared to the clasp of an authentic Sub, the difference here is definitely visible even without using a magnifying glass.
Tell #2: The crown on the clasp
When looking at the fake sub, you can spot the tiny gap between the crown and the clasp. I guess they were cutting the top part of the clasp from one block and then lasered the crown out of it with tools that were not as precise as they had to be. To be fair, I had to use a little magnifying glass to spot the difference but nonetheless, it is definitely a good way to tell these two apart: If you see any signs of welding on your sub clasp, chances are this sub is not authentic!
Tell #3: The issue with the glidelock
The Glidelock on the authentic watch glides smoothly up and down and is easily adjustable. But now when you compare the glidelock on the fake, the difference here is huge! Sliding the bracelet up and down feels super scratchy and you feel like you are going to ruin the glidelock when doing it! Besides that though, the overall feeling of the clasp on the fake watch is shockingly good but the scratchy glidelock is definitely a dead giveaway!
Tell #4:
On the authentic watch, the hour markers, equipped with superluminova sit on the dial in a bright white color, framed by a thin, white gold border. Even though the hour markers on the fake sub are equally as white and light up in the same blue color when it gets dark, the border is much thicker and likely not made out of solid 18-carat whitegold. Also when holding the two next to each other, you can tell that the thicker silver border also results in sharper looking hour markers overall!
Tell #5: Rehaut engraving
On the authentic watch, the letters on the ring are perfectly aligned with the minute and hour markers on the dial. So now when switching over to the ring on the fake watch, you can see that they definitely tried to place the letters at the correct spot but they were not 100% successful on each letter. Sometimes an L or an R are a bit displaced.
Tell #6: Printing on the date
On a real Sub, the date is displayed on a crips, white disc, with sharp and black numbers printed on it. But when spinning through the dates on the fake sub, you would think they printed the numbers on a Friday afternoon by the look of it: The black color is not as opaque and you can clearly see tiny specks of black paint around the numbers. Especially on the 29th the difference is really outstanding. So even if they did a great job with the cyclop lense and the proportions, the printing is definitely off and a good tell to spot a fake sub!
Tell #7:
The caliber 3135 is known for its accuracy and robustness and winding the watch as well as setting the date feels smooth and satisfying. But screwing out the crown on the fake sub feels like sand is crunching within the gearwheels of the movement! Additionally, when you get to the point were the crown pops out and locks into the position to adjust the date it does not do so with the light little ‘click’ you would expect: It pops out with such a force that, for a second I thought I had wrecked the stem when unscrewing it for the first time!
Tells that the fakers managed to fix on a fake Rolex Submariner 116610LN:
- The little engraved crown on the crystal
- The engraved serial number on the rehaut / chapter ring
- No more rattle sounds when shaking the watch
- Indexes on the bezel are platinized
Thank you so much for watching! I really enjoyed doing this comparison :-)

Felt like a detective 🕵️♀️ making this video :D what would you like to see next?
Jenni Elle Great great content and video quality!! Keep it up 👍 what’s next ?? My favourite brands Blancpain o Glashütte maybe Nomos ? 🧐🥇
Jenni Elle question: what about the accuracy of the fake vs the authentic? That should be the first thing to notice!! Because all that money invested in getting this Rolex COSC and now suddenly I Chinese replica match the accuracy? Impossible 😲🤭
Well done. Enjoying your content. Can you get access to more brands? Would love to see the SeaQ reviewer. Do a podcast with TennandTwo or Scottishwatches to get your story out. This feels like early Bark and Jack, which is good. Introduction the female perspective on traditional mechanical watches.

That videos watch is a mere imitation, not a real clone. Ziarex replica watches are on next level.
Perfect watches
I only buy from them.
Their watches are true masterpieces, 1:1 with no difference from original watches.
I can't buy not even in dream☺
They are criminals from Europe, making the best replicas with the same serial code, but that does not mean you should order it.
primerolexio is best shopp
We need to stop criminals like Ziarex from selling mega-clone replica watches because selling mega-clone replicas with the same serial number as the original watch is illegal.
Someone in the government should do something about it.
This is a serious problem, we must react
CIA, hello!
Cancel them.
I will report them to the FBI
Chrono Select has the best reps out there hands down.
I'm happy to see they're starting ot get some recognition. I got this same Sub from them a couple of months ago and recently ordered a GMT rootbeer too

Site name?
Chinese replica manufacturers- “ok, we will make these improvements in the next version”
😂😂😂 my thoughts
The feel part is very difficult to fix. Even at that, they could not regulate the watch to the Rolex +/- 2 sec a day accuracy. That would be too expensive for them to do for the entire production run. These people's goal is to make a quick buck, not perfection in watchmaking. That's why I always say every serious watch collector should own a timegrapher.
Am Chinese. Can confirm... lmao
killazx9 , I have owned 3 genuine Rolex watches. None of them kept as good a time as my Sieko Chronograph. My last Submariner lost about 2 minutes a week. Would never buy another Rolex. Overpriced junk.
Do people really believe that the fakers don’t know the differences! I hear this on the forums all the time, “don’t tell them” lol, it’s laughable. They know exactly what’s wrong but they just can’t get there for the cost of manufacturing... (for now)
The craziest part of this is the HUGE difference in price, and the SMALL difference in the details. Wow.
This video lowkey exposes how overpriced watches are
Word!
Just because it looks like a Rolex, doesn't mean it'll run anywhere as well as one. It could be off 20s per day, while the real one is +2/-2s per day. In that case, you'd be better off with a $600 real authentic watch.
@@DonLee1980 I don’t use my automatic watches to tell time. I have an iPhone for that.

I traded my car in for a new Rolex. But now, at least, I get to show it off on the bus.
The guy sat next to you on the bus was quietly laughing to himself as he noticed your ugly Rolex was fake. Should have kept the car.
Whaaaaat!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats crazy!
If you catch a bus regularly then everyone will know the poor guy without wheels is wearing a fake Rolex, no matter how genuine it looks 😂
Tbh there are two facts:
1) no one notices our watches except watch fans.
2) they think its fake since you are riding a bus.
Sad but true, the only one who appreciates our watches is us or watch fans. I explain my watch obsession with my omegas and rolexes to my wife and family and they cant even tell them appart besides the color differences;(
hahahahahahah lol
After owning a GMT and OP for almost 10 years I wanted to get myself a Hulk for my 60th birthday, about 2 weeks later I came across a page about high end clones and decided to give it a try. Once came I compared it to my original GMT (in terms of quality, feeling of the steel etc), I understood one thing, China can't be beaten. There is no chance ANYONE will be able to spot it as a fake, Even the inside movement is identical. The build quality and finish put a lot of legitimate Swiss brands to shame.
Where did you buy it from? Asking for a friend 🤣
Bestclonesby
Thank! On Instagram??
Yes
why even buy a fake after owning some original pieces?
These are pretty easy tells, reps are on another level now. The watch I got from Chrono Select is a lot better than the rep you got Jenni.
This was propbably a max 400 dollar fake she wouldn' identify a 1000$ fake...
The “replica” market is actually a very interesting and complicated one
This video has convinced me to buy a fake, now I have an extra $13K to invest elsewhere. Thank you..
Mc Kenzi buy a classic vw campervan. Massive investment.
It's better to have an original product anyway. It's better to have a decent Tissot than buying a fake Rolex. You will at least have an original, quality product with its own authentic history, proper warranty and after sales service.
@@chingiz499 why not both? I hope I can afford a genuine Rolex one day. But then I also would buy a perfect copy as my daily watch. Then I can confidently wear it, and if someone actually spot it as a fake, I just say it like it is; the genuine one is back home in my safe. Then I don't have to fear scratching the watch.
and bro no one will know the difference, lol
@@chingiz499 Even the Tissots are fake now. Everything is fake. It's crazy. Don't even get me started on high end cologne/perfume.
2025: Take out your electron microscope to see that the fake is actually better finished than the authentic one.
I very much agree with you. Specially the bracelet
Maybe there is no need to wait until 2025, in this video 8:57 I see the crown on the clasp of the replica better finished than the authentic.
The crown on the clasp of the fake one looks a lot better than the real one.
Will literally never happen
Once forgot a g-shock in a toilet....once forgot a BB homage at airport security....needless to say, both were never found again.

Best way to spot a fake Rolex …when you see it offered for $600 😂😂
Amazing review, Jenni! So thorough and detailed. Honestly, amazing how careful of an examination is required to spot many of these differences. You did a great job of showing them.
Now, my question - which factory makes this replica?
It looks like a vsf to me
Probably it's time to wake up and know that all luxury watches are really overpriced..
Well luxury and overpriced are going together. Check meaning of veblen goods.
There's a difference between luxury and high/exquisite quality. Often the two concepts overlap, but they should be understood separately.
My point exaclty... I have a family friend who works for Rolex, and he told me that to do a Submariner or any other Rolex model for that matter - the amount of raw material used - hand labour and everything else related to the fabrication of the watch, won't cost more than 500 USD to arrive at its final stage .. yeap that's it 500 USD - pretty much the same price of the fake - the only difference is people paying 10000 or 11000 USD at the grey market for this watch, which in my opnion doesn't fit the bill for such a high price... People need to stop being stupid and realize this..
@@rodris8461 Really?
Luxury and overpriced are practically synonyms.
in 2 years, the chinese one will already be better than the original.
in the future, fake will be better than the real one.
she will say, "you can tell the fake, because fake ones have sharper lettering, smoother movement, and cleaner finish."
lol Chinese in 100years will not be better than fake, it took Rolex 100years to make it perfect and years of experience, because they can fool from the outside does mean great FAKE ... no all is in the movement. From the other hand if fakes be better in your opinion start buying them maybe they be expensive as Rolex one day ... lol
@@patrickjackob7620 absolutely agree with you)))
And cost $10,000
@Bob Harris You can buy a Chronometer grade real 2824 movement for 300 $ and you can install it inside
I have got to say after this video I would definitely buy a copy .the differences are so small and the price difference so massive its a no brainer
$1,000 for the watch and $12,000 for the name. I’ll take the $600 fake any day.
Someone sold me a fake Rolex submariner no date! For $2000! I bough it with my fake $100 bills..

Been watching your videos for a while now and finally subscribed. Being somewhat related to this video, it would be great to get your views on the rise of Rolex thefts and how Rolex owners are now deliberately purchasing and wearing fakes to match their authentic watches to bolster their lost in the event of a snatch theft. I personally know at least half a dozen people doing this and it would be great to get a watch enthusiast’s point of view.
Thank you, nice video! How about the gap between „1000ft“ to „300m“ ? And does the fake also change the date at 3 min after midnight?
After only 3 videos, this is probably my favourite watch channel on TH-cam. Great work and keep them coming!
Excellent video and valuable information. Although the gap keeps getting smaller, real vs. fake comparisons are a great way to appreciate the quality of high end watch making. Looking forward to your next video!
Karren wants to tell us not to buy replica watches but has her own one😂🤣
I am Chinese, I buy both real and fake watches, because often the watch you like is out of stock in the store, or you have to wait, and you don’t know how long it will take, usually only regular customers VIP can get them in advance. At this time, the fake watch can be used as a 1:1 model to play and detoxify, which is indeed a good choice!Of course, China has never stopped cracking down on fake watches. Last year, the famous N factory and VS factory were banned. At present, the C factory (clean factory), the original ZZ factory, is doing well in submariner.
Many authentic watches have slightly misaligned rehauts. I've seen it myself numerous times. Not a good tell, just FYI.
Agreed! I've also seen many gen Rolex with very slightly misaligned rehaut!
Yup. Unfortunately, many don't realize that.
Rolex realized they don't have to be perfect anymore. They have dumb idiots willing to throw out tons of money just so they can say they own a Rolex. If you buy a fake 99.9% of people are not going to know the difference or don't care what what you wear!
@@stevemathews8429 What's the point of buying anything that is fake? I don't get it..?
@@nomansland120very simple... You pay 10% of the price for a high quality rep and get 99% of the real thing . if rolexes weren't grossly overpriced people wouldn't buy fakes. if they were a more reasonable say three or four grand for a watch the fake industry would be cut down dramatically. 99% of people just want to brag that they have a Rolex . they couldn't care less about the durability and craftsmanship of the watch. We all know there's not 8 to $10,000 worth in a watch.
Differences are so small it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference ,especially if its on a wrist
False, I can see many thousands of difference.
Nothing false apart from the watch,the fact is go Watch a Watchfinder clip and you will realise its miniscule the gap now
@@davidjack3 Sorry, I mean many Thousands of $Dollars$ of difference. Just that.
Satou im sorry i didnt mean my response to come across as nasty to you ,i see what you mean

Great review Jenny. Can you please tell me where I can get that Rolex replica or one as good if not better then that one. Thank you so much. Ray
For the Rehaut lining up on gen Rolex’s, this simply is just not 100% true, it is very common actually for the rehaut to be misaligned
Pretty sure WatchFinder mentioned that even Rolex cocked it up. Remember the 99 error 😁🤣
My gen sub came brand new from the AD with a misaligned bezel. So what your saying is correct
It's more likely a gen Rolex would have a misaligned rehaut than perfectly aligned one. If I were the replica factory, I would purposely misalign it to stay closer to gen Rolex.
After long time investigating about replicas, I found my seller for it, name is trustyreps the have best quality, weight same, everything same as originl
"And this one time, at band camp." Love it. Gorgeous
Remember one of these watches is $500 and the other is selling for $17,700. Where i live anyway. I know which one id be buying if I really liked the look of the watch.
Your not paying for the general style of the watch. Otherwise, just buy a $10-$20 watch. You are paying for fine European Craftsmanship and Perfection. It's mechanically sound like no other, and the level of detail and attention is so great it outweighs any copier trying to mass produce sell these. This isn't for the everyday man, rolex (and many other high end european watches) is for people who have the money, knowledge, and appreciation of art.
I really enjoyed watching these fake vs real videos. Thank you for making them. Greetings from Aruba.
Some guy in Hong Kong taking notes 😂
The difference is always in labor quantity and care, which you simply can't get at $600. Especially as China gets wealthier.
Singapore, Shenzhen, etc
Get a new comment.
Now they are too busy fighting for their freedom.
Are they really made in Hong Kong ? I'd be surprised, I would have thought somewhere else in China. Probably where there is a lot of watch manufacturing so skilled tradespeople are easy to find.
Here's the important takeaway, IMO > If the Chinese replicas are already this close (and likely to get even closer over the next few years), it tells me that most of the cost of a Rolex is in the brand name, not the materials, engineering, or build quality (not to the tune of $10K, that much is certain).
Connecting the dots, it also tells me that Tudor is a MUCH better value proposition than Rolex right now.
Oooh yeah...industry experts have calculated that even considering R&D costs and profit the price of a Sub should be around 4-5 k €.
Rest is just Rolex pushing out potential customers to market themselves as ever more exclusive. That's why they always push the prices up by 4% or so every January. There's no logical reason to do such a high increase YEARLY.
Finishing
It took you that many grey hairs to figure this out..?
Yes ! Tudor Pelagos for instance has a better movement than the submariner - 70 hours power reserve, - Titanium case plus a an auto adjustment deployment clasp . PLus the design is much nicer .
@everyday tenor very well stated. You hit it on the nail. I had similar experience.
What does she mean with the lettering being in line with the hour and minute marks? Is each letter is centered to exact 0 on those hour/minutes marking?
Normally you can spot a fake Rolex just by looking at the owners behavior 😂

You have a very good sharp eye for watch authentication Jenni. Very impressive. Respectfully, JD
To be honest this only matters to people who may want to resell. For someone who will keep the watch and just wear it the $600 option is a no brainer. Videos like these are great for anyone not trying to get scammed when buying and serve a great purpose. But they also provide direction for the counterfeiters to further hone their craft.
“Don’t buy fake watches.” Well, I own a two-tone steel and yellow gold 116110 Sub-C, a date just 41 with the jubilee, a steel 116610 Sub-C, and a steel 126600 50th anniversary Sea Dweller. I also own the V8, and V9 Noob Sub-C. After spending just under $42k before tax on my authentic rolexes from only AD’s, I can tell you that buying a fake Rolex that’s damn near just as good as the real ones, is definitely worth it. The novelty of authenticity wears off when you find that the replicas are almost just as good for pennies on the dollar. Take it from a guy that loves the Rolex brand, they’re overly priced. My grand seiko snowflake is a much better watch than any of my Rolex’s and still cost $3-4K less. Kill your ego and buy what you want for the price you want. If I could do it all over again, I’d still buy my Rolex’s, but I’d still buy my noobs because they’re fantastic beater replicas that feel almost just a good!
DeMarcus Crooms Where do you get your noobs? I also have authentic Rolex’s but have been waiting to check out the V9 Noobs.
Where do you purchase Rolex replicas? I have an authentic omega chrono, but I’m not gonna drop 7k+ on a Rolex
The Noob V10 has lot of improvements over the V8 and V9. I have own a V9 and V10 and the bezel and platinum is really better on the V10.
Alphons Potters where do you get a V10?
What's a Noob?
You really have to give the fake manufacturer credit, as she does, for their quality. It is very impressive. The fact that one can have a $600 watch that rivals a $10000 watch cannot be understated. The question I have is the movement. How good is the watch inside?
Imagine getting half way through with the saw and realising you got it mixed up with the real one 😂
Now this is a great review. Something that a watch enthusiast or first time buyer will definitely find it useful. I am in the camp of replica and homage are the same, the latter just tries to be more ethical by not ripping off the brand as well.

It's a difference between knowing that you're wearing something authentic and working hard to achieve it and buying something that is fraudulent and intellectual theft. But that's ok, as long as you save money

Her little bit about lying to yourself and how a watch signifies certain things is... presumptuous. I don't wear watches as status symbols. I would tell anyone who complimented me on a fake watch that it was a fake immediately. It's a sartorial and aesthetic decision for me, not a money flex.
The point is towards people who are passing themselves off as real. If you really want to look more, some may be thinking "well I've paid a fraction of a genuine, it looks the same so it's obvious that the price doesn't indicate quality" - which is totally wrong. By the way I'm not saying that's directed at you, but just elaborating more is all
Honestly, the crown on the clasp of the gen looked like dogshit compared to the rep. I also noticed some pitting on the case of the gen. I've said this in another video. I own both gen and rep Submariner. My gen has more flaws than my rep. Just ask any Rolex owner. These watches are no where near perfect when new. Not even close. The smug attitude from people claiming they are need a reality check. Also, I know plenty of people buy rep's and wear them instead of their gen's. No one is the wiser that the gen is sitting in a case at their house.
Where can i buy reps?

Great video, but careful with tell #5, the letters on the rehaut lining up with the hour markers on the dial. Surprisingly, it's actually quite common for this to be misaligned on a genuine Rolex and the latest fakes often get it lined up correctly. I would not rely on this to spot a fake.
:O never noticed it on an authentic watch - I will definitely check that on the next Subs I see, thanks!!
In the wise words of Chris Essery: "Always buy from reputable sources"
What I really learned from this is that Rolex watches are hilariously overpriced.
Thanks will check for those details on the rep that I will buy.
A very good video. My take away from this is that, yes, the Rolex is a fabulous watch and, no, the replica is in no way its equal. Sadly, this is a mute point if you do not have the £10K + to indulge the difference. Also, the evolution of these replicas is reaching a point where the Rolex is becoming only justified on subjective grounds rather than objective ones.
It is 'moot' point, ffs...
When a mere 600$ can do this to $10k..Just imagine if they double their budget, say to 1200$, then you will need a hubble telescope to identify the differences and if they triple say 1800$, god, you might need an electron microscope to differenciate...!! and that will be scary.
actually, you have discoverd how the industry works. replicas are classified into categories of A, B, C degrees. The top knock-offs can be recognized by opening it and checking the mech core or maybe by some very professional dealers on outlooks.
If they doubled their price it would be absolutely the same quality as original one because thats the cost of making these watches. Rest $9000 goes to expensive wine, new cars and hookers with cocaine
You're paying for the brand. And that is worth whatever people are willing to pay.
A 2k replica would probably have the exact copy of the movement, and it could probably interchange parts with an original watch. There will be no point in buying the original anymore. Well, as if there is now, considering the obscene price policy and waiting lists: it's impossible to actually buy any sports model nowadays just by walking into a shop.
Don't buy a fake watch? Lmao please. Maybe some of us just like the style but don't think the huge price tag is actually worth it ! I love the style of Richard mille but even if I had the money I don't think I could ever justify spending 300k on a watch. That's absurd. Straight up theft
If you don’t think an RM is worth 300k, then don’t buy it. People who buy 300k RMs don’t mind spending that money cuz 1, they have it and 2, they can get it back selling it maybe even for a profit. Veblen goods have often gone up much faster than inflation. If you drive a Toyota and wear a fake RM, nobody is gonna believe your watch is real. People will just laugh that you bought a fake watch.
I don’t think she meant it like that. I think she meant it in more of a “Don’t get conned” way
Hey, what about the weight of precious metal watches?
Finally a review where they compare a high end replica against a real Rolex, most comparisons ive seen where with a $50 one which is just silly because you do not need a real Rolex to find out those are fake.
One day I’m going to watch a video like this that at the middle of the video the creator discovers his “Genuine” it’s also a replica 🤣
“As you can see on the real, we don’t have that issu.......... wait....... THIS IS FAKE TOO!” *insert long line of swear words and footage breaking shit here*
I appreciate you helping us spot a fake but do NOT tell me not to buy one if I choose to!
Hi, what year do you think the replicas got to Europe?
Please note as well, that post-2016 submariners look different from this one. The newer subC's rehaut is etched to appear with a whitish glow when exposed to a light source. Also, the rehaut is not always perfectly aligned. Some letters may be offset by a couple hundred microns, and this can be especially noticeable with the coronet at 12 o clock
Nice try Mr. Chinese
@@IgrarALIYEV2008 It's true tho look it up... if the newwer ones has longer serial number the letterls needed relaignment but on the original it's still every offset is the same unlike on a fake...
Nice video. Kind of rooting for the fake watches. They are so close to getting a perfect clone it’s almost art in itself and worth the $600. The closer they get the less respect I have for Rolex. There.... I said it.
@@IDKline I mean that's one way to look at it. The other way to look at it is that for Rolex, in particular you are paying an enormous premium for branding and marketing. It'd wouldn't surprise me to find out that not including R&D the cost of production of a Rolex sub is less than 1k.
I know what you're saying. The cheap (and dare I say, exploited) labour is becoming the main reason not to buy fake. With the quality approaching parity, and even outperforming the genuine article (I think it was Jody's JOMW channel which showed a fake outperforming on the timegrapher) the argument only comes down to not wanting to support potentially dark labour practices.
Do any fake Rolex have regulator screws in side the wheel inside ?
So I adore the style and design of the Oyster Perpetual 41 blue dial, but even as the cheapest Rolex, it still retails here in Australia for nearly $10k. This is sadly something I will never be able to achieve as a struggling tradesman. I wish there was a legitimate replica industry, where manufacturers could license the designs and make lower-quality replicas that are marked and stamped as such on the backs and in the internals. This process would eliminate or mitigate the criminal aspect of the supply of fakes for the purposes of fraud.
Damn!!! The quality of video and content is awesome.
I’ve seen genuine with misaligned rehauts. The rest are spot on but to someone who isn’t used to seeing and handling watches is gonna be extremely difficult. The truly scary stuff are the franken ones. They get different parts from different factories( some have better clasps or bezels for example) and add genuine parts like the magnifier and date wheel. Some even have genuine dials and hands, not anymore I think since those parts became extremely expensive but nevertheless some still exist
Also, congrats on the videos, real quality!
@Vali Sechi yes, a much better way to tell is to compare the quality of the rehaut engraving quality. Genuine rehauts do not necessarily mean aligned rehauts.
Rehauts batch to batch differ. Misalignment is super common on rolexes as well. It's a known problem that seems to get played down very often. Usually by fanboys or folks who can't get over having paid 2x retail for a great watch with some stuff out of line
yep, my franken ARF v2 116200 has a ton of gen parts, i got a lot of satisfaction hunting down gen movement parts, bulls eye dial, hands, crystal and roulette date wheel. servicing and rebuilding the movement taught me alot.
Yes yes yes 100% agree. Have seen some monstrous builds and was in awe at how immaculate some of the Franken projects look. Learned so much from reading and engaging with members that I swore not to ever purchase a Rolex from anywhere but the flagship or an AD LOL.
The fake noob v10 have perfect aligned rehauts now...
😳 Thanks!
Jenni I like your Video it is very Educational. I knew two of the Best Watchmakers in the country, they knew and you know.
🤓Keep up the good Videos. 👍
Nearly finished saving for a Titanium Superclone/frankenwatch I want to make..Cannae wait!🤔😁
Been spot checking a lot of stuff to make a beautiful 1 off
Thing is ... unless you have a real Subby on hand - or a very experienced expert with you - it's going to be incredibly hard to spot the tells.
My solution would be to accept that you'll have to pay a bit more for peace of mind and to go to an AD or trusted retailer. Or to either buy a high end homage or simply a different, non-Rolex diver. The advantage of option two: You'll have money left over to buy even more watches with or to spend on a nice vacation.
