Things are not very difficult when people try purchasing a replica Rolex watch. If they need a very good replica, they should go for the Swiss made one, if they want to pay less, a Japanese product would be perfect.

What happens when someone wants a real Rolex and doesn't know how to recognize one? If he gets swindled, a lot of money is at stake and the poor buyer might also get a heart attack at the price of the so-called real Rolex watch.

It's not easy to tell a very good fake watch from the original one, but with a bit of concentration, you can notice some significant elements that should be present in the real Rolex watch. There are no exceptions to the rule according to which only a dealer that is authorized can sell new Rolex watches accompanied by a factory warrantee.

A very easy way to detect a fake Rolex is to look at the movements of the second hand. On a real Rolex watch, the second hand runs smoothly, while on a fake Rolex watch it ticks second by second. The bubble-like date window that magnifies the date on a real Rolex watch can tell a lot; if you have a close look at a replica, you will notice that either the magnifying bubble or the number in that window is crooked.

The hologram sticker containing the reference unique number on the back of the watch and the Rolex crown logo above will be different on a fake watch: it won't look like a typical hologram changing appearance when viewed from different angles.

There is also a method of 'reading' the fake by looking at the band. A real Rolex will always have a good straight band and if you look at the bracelet with the watch facing down, you will notice that the links in it are hanging smooth, whereas a kinked bracelet indicates a fake.

Even on the internet there is a good chance for one to find a second-hand good Rolex on a site like ebay. I believe anyone can tell if the seller is reliable or not, by the way he answers questions or gives details about the piece he has to sell. Not all of them are con artists; we should give more credit to such sites and read the feedback of previous customers. There is always a lot of information in those lines about the sellers.
