You are a man among men. You command respect. People admire you for the things you do. A man who wants and gets nothing but the best must have the best watch ever made.

That watch would be a Rolex. And you deserve the real thing and not some sexy fake you bought for around $700.

With all the hype about Rolex watches, there has been a rise in the Rolex replica industry. In fact, not many days go by without a few spam emails arriving in my inbox trying to convince me to buy a fake Rolex or other Swiss-made luxury replica watch.

This article was written to help people like you buy the Rolex watch you wanted and you just haven’t had time to do enough research to know you’re not being scammed. Rolex dealers, master watchmakers, and yes, fake manufacturers have given us some helpful advice that could save you a lot of money and a lot of headaches.

1. Only an authorized dealer can sell a new Rolex watch with a factory warranty. There are no exceptions for this!

2. Straight belts are good and crooked belts are bad. First of all, if the bracelet obviously does not match the watch, go to the next dealer. The bracelet can tell you if that watch is real or fake. Take the watch and hold it on a smooth surface with the watch face down. Look at the links on the bracelet. Are they hanging nice and smooth or are they all crooked? Those bracelet links may stretch a bit over time, but they just don’t bend. If the bracelet is crooked, it’s probably fake.

3. One of the most revealing aspects of fake Rolexes is that the seconds hand “ticks” second by second around the dial instead of working smoothly like it would on a real Rolex watch.

4. Another notable feature of a genuine Rolex is the bubble date window that magnifies the date on the GMT, Submariner and other models. If the date number in that window or the magnifying bubble is crooked or slightly off-center, you’re looking at a fake.

5. Genuine Rolex watches have a hologram coded label on the back of the watch. There is a unique reference number for the watch and above it is a hologram of the Rolex crown logo. While fake Rolexes may have decals on the back, they are generally not true holograms and do not change in appearance when turned or viewed from different angles.

If you want to order a used Rolex online; To avoid being scammed, read these tips:

1. Check the website address and make sure it ends with .com or something more familiar. Also make sure the website is not hosted by a free domain company like Geocities or Tripod.

2. When shopping on eBay, always check the seller’s rating and read some of their most recent reviews. Send multiple emails with questions about the item. Where he came from? What is the serial number? When was the last service? Are you keeping good time? If you don’t respond, it’s not your seller. There will always be another seller with another used Rolex that will work perfectly for you.
