£20,000 FAKE Rolex Daytona Repair, What's Inside a Fake Rolex?

[@thezapsback]

Call it junk, garbage or whatever you want to... I believe every watch has a soul of its own and im glad to see you took care of this beauty. Look how it works happily no complain at all :) thanks for the video.

[@natecharleswatches]

Took care of it best I could

[@Leadar102]

Same view i swear i always end up having an argument with people saying fake or cheap watches are garbage , a watch always is a beautiful piece

[@boyd547]

I completely agree. Ultimately, this is an item the owner enjoys and uses for how own reasons. Your integrity and effort in treating this watch as you would any other is appreciated.

[@waynerussell5265]

What movement is it please?

[@michaelkeats1313]

It’s a nice cheap automatic watch, they just need to take the name Rolex of the dial. Also it would be a good practice watch for future watchmakers. Thanks for the video.

[@natecharleswatches]

Gets the job done and certainly some good practice :)

[@anofre68]

Your a star Great work. My brother purchased a fake Rolex years ago in Las Vegas for $20.00. The seconds hand fell off otherwise it keeps great time as long as worn. Amazed at artists that assemble these time pieces.

[@SlimWhittman]

I own and daily wear a Rolex 116520 Daytona. That's the watch this fake is based on. Fakes do not anger me. It's kind of flattering to know my watch is so desireable that people will go to this much effort to copy it. That just confirms my belief I made a good choice with my purchase.

[@saudiranger4007]

Thanks bud, that replica looks like the ones from early 2000s if I'm not wrong, plz do more reparing and restoring of watches

[@john-paulsilke893]

Definitely. Even the lower tier fakes have a better movement with functionality in sub dials. Heck for $1,000 you can have a faux 4130 movement that’s a direct clone and virtually identical. My real Daytona actually had a fake movement installed because the real movement got water damaged and Rolex wanted insane money to replace/repair it. I actually bought fake watch to put the movement into when I finally got the real one fixed. My fake is actually a $45,000 spec watch whereas my real one, (now that it’s fully restored with authentic parts) is a much lower tier watch and is more scuffed and looks much less expensive, (although it’s worth 25 times as much)!

[@andrewmurton8379]

I probably speak for many who have a love of Rolex but are unable to afford one, personally I disapprove of the fakes and would never knowingly purchase one but I thoroughly enjoy watching your skills in servicing the watch, it was very interesting to see the movement as in some of the fake Rolexes they are so close to the real thing I for one could not tell the difference. Well done you for braving the wrath of the establishment!!

[@natecharleswatches]

Some of the fakes are indeed very close to being identical, this one not so much. Still happily ticking along though

[@phillismable6303]

My son owns an original Omega Spectre Seamaster and also a Super CLONE, the original is for special occasions the CLONE (and it is a CLONE) is his everyday wear. He loves wearing the Spectre but for everyday wear there is no way that he'd wear it for fear of getting it messed up, so there IS indeed a use for CLONES. When times come for the CLONE to be serviced I hope that you can do it for me, as your love of watches matches his love of wearing them plus it would be great to see how close it is to a real one. xxx

[@KakavashaForever]

I prefer clones honestly. Two reasons for this are that clones are nearly identical but you can wear them daily without fear, and I hate the artificial scarcity that Rolex has created over the last 25 years and I want nothing to do with them.

[@beeceesp1386]

You are right. What a disgrace to own and wear a clone. Do it the right way - go to an Authorized Dealer and buy $5000 worth of Jewelry so you can be put on a 6 year waiting list to purchase a watch. Oh, by the way, being on the list does not guarantee you the privilege to purchase to purchase a Rolex watch. Don’t want to wait years? No problem, fly to NYC and visit 47th street - or a dealer in Miami and purchase your new Rolex on the secondary market for 4 to 5 times the actual purchase price.

[@beeceesp1386]

You speak for yourself

Wow that is so cool and amazing and I am glad to have witnessed this to learn more about watches !!!

[@jprichard]

You're great at what you do, Nate. Thank you for another interesting vid.

[@natecharleswatches]

You're most welcome :)

[@carlrees5574]

Im surprised it didn't have the Geneva Seal!! Ive just serviced a fake Breitling and had the same setup inc the day/night wheel, main movement was a seiko clone and gave excellent results.. The sub dials are nonsense though 😂

[@Sestorema]

Hi. I have the same watch, and I've a question. What is the function of that little brass strip spring screwed in one side of the automatic bridge?

[@mematitr]

hello.this is exactly what i was looking for.am currently working on the same movement to service it.only the automatic module did not get me any further.your video will help me a lot thanks.which movement is it? I dont have any information about this movement in Internet.

[@Hirkani-Arti4752]

Its a well-known secret in the watch industry. There are watches out there with serial numbers identical to the originals. Only ziarex has the real deal, and thats no secret.

[@christophervanasse9911]

I have the exact same fake Daytona watch. Same exact dial, case, and lug. My mom found it in my grandpas stuff 15 years ago when he died. I was shocked when she gave it to me, but I immediately knew it was fake. My grandpa was an extremely humble and modest man who probably didn’t even know what Rolex was, and wouldn’t ever wear a fake bootleg watch if he knew. But it’s still a cool piece. No idea where he got it and I’ll never know.

[@batzmaru82]

I just found the exact same watch in my late dad's drawer today. Even though its a fake, I'm going to get it cleaned and wear it for sentimental value.

[@walther9161]

Another great video and thanks for posting. Enjoyed it!

[@natecharleswatches]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@panfrick]

What technique is used the finish the movement?? Looks like something Grand Seiko would do! Very textured and unique. Such a natural and beautiful looking finish.

[@gregash4387]

That was a beautiful video. Thank you.

[@gmotionedc5412]

That movement wasn’t meant to be serviced right?

[@natecharleswatches]

Somehow slipped through the cracks

[@fernandoeiras]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Can you just tell me the name and reference of that chinese movement in the daytona? Are the all the same? Thank you. Cheers

[@rickyeast5841]

What movement is that?

[@rjdankert]

Good video, but what's the wretched background noise for?

I have the same fake...it was working perfect for 8 years untill lately i had a problem with the day crown ....however i try to unscrew it allways stops halfway and i cant fix it!! Any idea how can i?? I love this watch and i want to wear it again!!

[@Kamalika-Anuprabha71877]

In the end, a new era of watches has come. Some illegal company from EU started making mega clones called ziarex. Basically, what they are doing is buying original parts from workers in Rolex who flag that part as damaged and sell them. But thats not the

[@Sumana-Niharika540]

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.

[@MuhammadSadri-ep4qs]

Mungkin sebagian orang nggk akan pernah mampu beli rolex yng asli..mau gi mana lagi ke adaan economi.. hanya mampu beli yan palsu..tapi ndaq apa kan mirip jadi kesan nya kita bisa punya jam tangan rolex.. untung ada yang bikin jam tangan rolex palsu jadi kita bisa punya jam tangan rolex..walopun palsu .

[@hasanhassan1694]

I wonder why they made changes on the ₩ daytona's

[@Dhanashri-Ekavali180]

That is an AAA China watch. it cannot be compared to ziarex watches because they sell real super clones, basically the same watches as the originals.

[@Rasika-Lalita0193]

The watch in that video cant hold a candle to a ziarex. ziarex sets the gold standard.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

The ironic thing is that the Real Rolex movement is not that much better…..

[@Rajeshwari-Nandika3533]

Mega-clone sellers like ziarex must be in jail because they sell watches with identical serial numbers as original watches, which is illegal.

[@us-hamza]

Какой механиз тут установлен? Японский?

[@Hiral-Swaha089]

Cancel ziarex and mega clone watches. They are destroying the whole community of original watches and becoming a threat to the economy and dignity of Rolex.
