Mainly everyone focus towards replica watches, namely fake Rolex watches. The dream of owning a real Rolex watch is often squash by obscene price tags. Therefore the birth of fake Rolex watches was born. Normally found on the street levels of large cities the internet has transformed the marketplace. Anyone with a computer can now purchase fake watches, bags, pens, belt, sunglasses or everything the website owners think of. Many people would not know what differences the replica products might have compared to the real counterparts. Below is some information to help you make an informed purchase. You would be surprised how many people are even confused what the back case of a Rolex is truly supposed to feature. 

A replica watch, in my definition, is an accurate copy of a luxury brand name watch. Not an exact copy, there is NO such thing. Our definition may be different from the one that is used by lawyers (ie. Counterfeit watches). It is a belief commonly held by jewelers that the word ‚counterfeit, should be used specifically for those who try to sell them as the real thing.

1. Right now, the EASIEST way to detect a fake without taking the watch apart, is by the CRYSTAL:

The crystal on the authentic date-model has a date bubble with a 2.5 times magnification and thus the date looks very big in the bubble. The fakes often have only a 1.5 times magnification and the date looks MUCH smaller.

2. Winding Crown: Many fakes do not screw in precisely and get stuck and/or do not have a rubber gasket. Authentic Rolex watches screw in smoothly and have a visible seal (tiny rubber piece) that seals the watch watertight.

3. Watertight case: The rubber seal inside the winding crown allows the authentic Rolex watch to maintain a watertight seal on the case. Fakes cannot usually handle total submersion in water.

4. Bezel: Fakes often have notches that are too large and bezel is too loose. Authentic Rolex Watches have 60 tight clicks.

5. Markings: Especially look for detail on the face of the watch. But, many good fakes have mastered the proper markings.

6. Illumination: Authentic Rolex Watches illuminate in the dark on the hands and some also with the hour markers.

7. Sweeping second hand: The Authentic Rolex Watches do have a small tic to them but appear to sweep. Many good fakes do a great job at sweeping.

8. Weight: is often heavier on Authentic Rolex Watches because of the 18k gold case. But, many high quality fakes are now doing a good job with the weight.

9. Bracelets: Authentic Rolex Watches use screws instead of pins that look like screws. Many good fakes use screws as well.

10. Gold: No 24k gold is used on Authentic Rolex Watches, as it is too yellowish and brassy. Only 18K gold is used on Authentic Rolex Watches. 

11. Divers Extension: Authentic Rolex Watches Submariner models have the extra fold out to go over a wetsuit.

12. Backs: Only fakes have clear backs so that the inner workings of the watch can be seen. Fake backs are also often engraved with serial or model #'s or the Rolex crown. Authentic backs are plain, smooth and sometimes have the green sticker.

 The best way to care for watch is listed below. You replica watch should have the same upkeep as a real name brand watch. Lifetime of the watches you find online really depend on the grade of watch you get. 

1. CLEANING: The suggested method is a jewelers polishing cloth. This cloth is approximately $5 at a local watch shop or such stores as Walmart. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solutions provided by jewelers. One Swiss supplier actually wrote us and mentioned he uses shampoo to clean his Swiss watches.
2. MOVEMENT: If your replica gets damaged outside the warranty period any local watch repair store will be able to help you. Any model can easily be serviced by a knowledgable expert.
3. Bands: If you replica watch band gets damaged outside the warranty period you can try to contact the website you brought it from. However not too many websites service anything outside the warranty period. Many generic bands can be purchased at a local jeweler or even auction sites like eBay.

We decided to post this information after getting many emails on how to properly set date and time on our watches. This information pertains to Rolex replica automatic watches. Quartz, explained later, is set just by pulling on the stem. Quartz watches reply solely on battery power and really are self explaining. Many other automatic replica brands have similar but slightly different methods of adjustments.

1.      First you need to unscrew the crown (stem) of the watch. Turn dial from up to down (downwards) you will feel the knob loosen and then it will pop out gently.

2.      SELF-WIND: Once at this position you can self wind the watch by turning the crown up. What self-winding does it improves the power reserve charge for your automatic watch. When turning the stem up you will hear the gears of the motor actually winding itself. Do not over wind the watch, as it will not improve the charge, wind it 3 to 4 minutes. Self winding is not required everyday or even needed on some models, this feature is just mentioned to show how superior and detailed our watches are.

3.      DATE: Pull out the stem very gently and turn upward to set the date. If you have a Presidential watch turn downwards to set the day of the week.

4.      TIME: To set the time, pull the stem further and turn to set the appropriate time.

5.      Finally push the stem in and simultaneously turn upwards to screw back the stem.

Asian - Japanese - Italian - Swiss

A brief run down of the grades are this. Asians are two types, either the bottom of the barrel which is Quartz, explained later, and 17 jewel watches or less. Japanese are a newer breed with 21 jewel automatic watches.

Italian uses 25 or 27 jewel movements.  They contain the case of a Swiss Watch, and the movement is Italian.  That's the only difference. 

Swiss watches are the highest quality when they contain a "True ETA movement".  Many claim to have this, but really do not. This websites main emphasis is on Rolex replicas, but there will definitely be information on other brands as well. Because there are so many brands of replica watches (over 50 in total that we have seen), only the most popular models will be discussed.

Below is a short summary of the newer Japanese Rolex replica watches online. Japanese models also pertain to brands such as Tag, Cartier, etc since we are referring to Japanese movements. We tend to focus on the Rolex replicas since 75% of the internet sales is Rolex related. Everyone wants to be a big shot we guess?

Warning: Many websites are trying to sell Grade 2 models as Swiss, Buy Swiss ONLY from our Website Reviews.
