They don’t want to fix.. there a huge market in the yearly upgrades.. look at the noob on v10 sub.

[@TheHollowGrind]

@@jackchueh1231 Highly underrated comment. This IS their business model. They are fully capable making an exact clone, they just won't because their customers will spend $600 on an almost perfect copy. I find this in the knife industry as well; they clone almost everything but leave clues that are giveaways that it's a clone.

Good points and kudos for picking up a 1mm case thickness! I guess the solution is to only purchase pieces in noble metals to avoid the possibility of getting a fake.

They make fake ones copying those metals as well

[@marcusm3600]

Nice video. Not sure I'll ever own a Daytona but it's nice to dream.... Is it just me, or if you look at the second register at 1:47 or so - the fake looks a bit jumpy, not a smooth sweep like on the original

[@bkameka69]

Great video. What gave it away for me right away was the difference in the "sweep" of the second hand. With that said, not everyone that loves watches can afford $5,000+ on a watch so I'm glad there are options that look this close to the original!

[@RiseUpToYourAbility]

A daytona cost way more than 5k.

[@boilerhousegarage]

At $5k I'll buy 10 please.. (yes, I know you said + but I like being pedantic)

[@jimfou4164]

Thank you for this Video, it s really hard actually to spot a fake, i have a question, i m a potential buyer, i often go to Biscayne Blvd in Miami to get a second hand Rolex, how to make sure everything is fine, can we sue them if they sell a fake, how to make sure i m not wrong on the price ? thank you in advance

[@Crmjewelers]

Come see me. And if not. Get e receipt with the serial number of the watch

[@logwind]

Hey Eric, I want to do some research like this, can you please tell me where you got this replica 😅😅

[@sagecleveland3953]

Damian Ruiz if you have a reddit account you can go onto r/reptime and find some good watches but the high end replicas are still going to be like $600 which I know is nothing compared to a real Daytona but still pricey. Good luck

[@thehermanli]

the quickest and one oft he most reliable ways i have tested a watch that i thought was suspect was by winding it. I paid close attention to how clean/smooth the gears interact within the movement.

The base of the hands on the fake is really rough under magnification and obviously not something that Rolex's quality control would let out of the factory. eg 05:30

[@boilerhousegarage]

Try it again with the $1000 superclones to see if the points you spotted are still present. The movements are 98% accurate, so can still be spotted easy-ish, but I'm curious about the centre rivet but don't really want to spend a grand on a replica 😄

[@jameswood1935]

Thing is- this is probably over a $1000 fake, the next step to make it even better, especially in the movement probably takes it up to 1500-2000. If you are spending 2k on a watch, unless its for a movie prop or something, just go buy a 2000 dollar original watch from a different brand, the market for expensive fakes isnt huge

I’m a box/papers guy. But if they’re this good at manufacturing the watches, I’m guessing the papers aren’t far behind (and I know some make papers already, but they aren’t great). And Rolex boxes are generic, so it all comes down to buying the seller first: CRM, David SW, Delraywatch, etc.

[@nufan2222]

the dude is making double bro. a 1:1 cost about 650 ish

[@richardman28]

Somes fakes are so good that even professionals cant tell the difference by touch and sight. The only way is open the back and see if the calibre is different to what you are paying for. The day rolex releases a new hand winding calibre watch with a sapphire see through back it will be the hardest watch to buy on the planet!!!

[@Crmjewelers]

Correct

[@my2l]

Rolex already had a hand wound sapphire back watch.

Cool vid. There are super clones out there are a lot better than this example, perfect thickness, clone movement etc. You almost have to use a macro lens to tell based on the vids online. Around the world clones are really popular, not sure I really get it and would not buy one but a lot of stores outside of the USA sell these though most are not great quality and you can tell pretty quickly if you know the real thing.

[@gerarlddiponse8005]

@CRM Jewelers not the case is thicker, the caseback is thicker, because the 4130 decorated movement of the replica watch uses a different rotor. Some replace the rotor and install a slimmer caseback. The u get a hight of 12,5mm. I think the gen is 12,4mm. Right now they changed the dial too, and the newer rep dials are really close to gen. The best thing is, open the case and have a look at the movement.

[@coreychen5644]

This is most likely a “n factory” v4 which cost about 400 bucks. There are many independent sellers who hire actually incredible watchmaker to do refinement and editing of the n factory watch as the base, and make they can fix all the problem that you just pointed out, and of course, those that you didn’t spot. And the refinement process cost about 1500bucks
