OPENING A $600 FAKE ROLEX!

This fake is slightly better to recognize as a fake as one i did see a couple of days ago(super scary close, even). My friend(over 25 years in restoring clocks and watches also does maintenance) he had to look 5 times at some parts of the movement. It even used the same steel variant or as close as can be in hardness.

The Chinese engineers designing these counterfeits do an outstanding job for the price point and know exactly where the discrepancies are. Factories like Noob, ARF, ZZ ect. correct these discrepancies one at a time and mark it updated examples as the next version to keep sales progressing as the latest version. Noob Submariner for instance is up to Ver 11 or 12 which is what the watch in this video looks like and typically can be found for $350. If the girl posting this video paid $600 for the watch she used for making this video I'd like to contact her and see if she'd be interested in buying the Golden Gate Bridge.

There's certainly a very obvious lack of fine machining work on the fake. It's very very obvious and it look bad even compared to something like a 2824-2.

You buy the watch for 15k retail, in 2-5 years the same thing could be worth 20k retail, going for 18k used. But why would you wanna sell it so soon anyway? You could enjoy it for 10 years and it could be worth double the price retail at that time. A lot of luxury watches will increase in retail significantly each year, especially if its a color variant. The watch this video is about is a great example, lasted only 11 years on market, got discontinued last year and is now double in price, it was highly sought after and its price will most likely continue to go up

I'm blown away at the quality of the 600 dollar Rolex... Outstanding job. I have a Rolex explorer that I bought 2nd hand. I had it sent to the Rolex certified repair/seller and had it serviced. I also wanted to make sure it was authentic because I have heard that the knockoffs are very good nowadays....and this video proves that.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

Quality, sure--if it really is well-built and doesn't merely look that way. It's not true that steel is steel is steel. To be a great watch every part must be made of a great alloy, the right one for the job the part does, and damn the expense. Other questions include: How will the crystal wear? Will it be noisy and annoy you in quiet rooms? What will happen when it inevitably falls on the floor as you're putting it on or taking it off? When it needs a repair, how is the part to be sourced? (Strong chance, I'm guessing, that a genuine part won't fit.) How well does it keep moisture out? How is the paint on the bezel going to hold out? There must be many more. Great at keeping time doesn't equate to Great Watch, or Casio would be the last word (although I'm not saying you said any different; just wanted to say it). I lean towards a guess, however, that it's very ok for $600. (Except I don't like the Rolex look too much anyway.)

They don't quite have the balance wheel and regulation copied... yet. That's an immediate give-away of the fake. But... it is very common for good replicas to have genuine parts mixed in (dial, hands, crystal, etc.). They can swap in a real Rolex bridge and balance and make it look gen. They'd have to have a donor movement though, so not cheap. Ever wonder why Rolex restricts the supply of their parts so much???

It’s not guaranteed the material quality of the parts are equal. (It’s one of the main reasons the GMT Master II movement has been attempted at cloning, but the jump hour feature is still considered a “time bomb” because the spring in that mechanism is very prone to breaking).

I don't know if I agree on the "value" part. The fake is cheaper and more attainable, hence why they are so popular. The Rolex is tons more accurate, truly waterproof, and more robust. At the end of the day, if you have the disposable income, then the Rolex IMHO is actually the better value. You get more, a lot more, and when you go to sell you can get all of your money back, maybe even make some money. Sell a rep and see what you get. Even the rep boards demand an accounting for your price, they won't let you make a dime of profit off of selling a rep. That does not represent good value to me.

You'll find replicas that are even more accurate. Watches that even rookie watchmakers can't distinguish. They may just have a screw or gear very slightly different - rest all exactly same. The problem is that even those genuine watches don't cost $10k. So if the current/ex-endors sit down and form a cartel - they can easily copy many of the models for a fraction of the cost. Because they are not incurring any R&D expenses on design or patents. Just like the original Swiss or American NCE (drug/medicine) that costs $100 is made by a 3rd party in Africa for $2 with the same formula and materials for a diff. brand. And it costs them barely $1.5 per capsule.

If you are going to get a replica….find a watchmaker that would be willing to work on it and have the movement cleaned. Even here you can see dust and metal shavings in the movement. Having the movement cleaned will both prolong the life and improve the accuracy as they usually are not up to spec and were never adjusted properly

When he went back to the shop he is told that they wont touch it as it is a fake. I still take the piss out of him over it but will concede that without taking the back off, and then knowing what you were looking at, it was virtually impossible to pick as a fake.

I further suspect fakes getting closer and closer will plug into this. An 500 quid clone is say 80% there, is it worth 8 and a half grand to make up the 20%? kinda thing.

Note also how in the video they wind, set the time/date, turn the bezel, much more quickly to exaggerate the fakeness of the fake.

The one thing the Gen movements have that rep movements haven’t been able to replicate yet is the free-sprung balance wheel. Once they can replicate that, we will all be in trouble 🥸

Actually this was an early SA3135, the SH has the hairpring inverted and the regulator is on the left, not on the right of the hairpring end as in this one. Also the pusher to release the stem now it's inline with the 2 screws next to it (and like in the gen one). This one has run at least 3 years and it shows it by the debris inside.

My wife brought back a couple of these clones from China, and I was stunned at how spot on they were. My first comment was that, they'll probably break in a year, or the first time they get wet. We didn't pay anything for them, but we knew wha they were charging. So, we wear them for fun, given we'd never in a million years purchase a wrist watch at that expensive. That's just not "us". But, they are beautiful, have that Rolex weight, and are still chugging along. Although, the link screw has fallen out of one of them, after a year. I always wondered if that happens to a real Rolex. If it would've been a real Rolex, I probably would've been really angry, at what those cost. But, as the movie said "Screws fall out of things all the time, the world's an imperfect place".

I doubt it would be as accurate as a Rolex after ten years of heavy use in hostile environments, used as a tool, not a show case. In fact I'd predict the Chinese movement to broke down before gaining ten years of use.

I doubt that fake had been tampered with. I’m guessing from the finish and other details it was using the VR3135 movement. Those were notorious for being dirty right out of the factory and for having poor finish compared to Rolex Caliber 3135 movements. The new VC3135 movements rectified this, coming from a factory with cleanliness standards and having better finishes as well as improved details. I saw a tear down on a VC3135 and I think the watchmaker said something like 70% of the parts were interchangeable.
