Around 1975, I was a very young GI a bit intoxicated with some friends leaving a bar in Seoul Korea. On the corner while waiting for our taxi, I spotted a vendor selling fake watches. The Rolex Submariner attracted by eye and for the whopping price of $10 in went into my pocket. After watching your video, I went and found my fake automatic Rolex in my sock drawer. Had no expectations it would work but after only a few minutes the hands started to move. Been wearing it for about a week and thus far it's kept great time. I take it off at night and am surprised it is still running when I wake. Yep, it's a fake but now I'm almost 67 and just looking at that watch brings back some darn good memories and big questions where have the years gone.

I was friends with a guy stationed there during Nam who had a nice Tudor Sub that he traded a fake Rolex Sub for. He bought the fake Rolex from a street corner vendor because it looked pretty decent, and after a couple of weeks it got banged up and scratched. One of his fellow servicemen remarked that he wished he had the money to get a Rolex Sub, but all he could afford was the Tudor. My friend asked him if he wanted to swap, and the guy took the fake Rolex and my friend walked away with a real Tudor. He told him that he wanted the Tudor because he wouldn't be as sad if it got banged up like the "Rolex".

Bought one (a Fake Rolex) in Dubai. It never lost a second, but had to reset it on most mornings, but a great watch until I got over-confident and wore it in a sauna. Bought a fake Omega (battery) at around the same time, both around £20/£25 and still have it and, after around 10 years, it still keeps perfect time. It is said' imitation is the greatest form of flattery'. Why they pursue fakes is open to question as they are only bought (usually) by those who cannot afford the real thing. Those who can afford the real thing would (usually) not be seen dead with a fake.

Double irony: Rolex is what got me into replica watches. Replica watches are what *really* got me into Rolex. Let me explain- I love the look of Rolexes. But couldn't possibly understand why they cost so much. I was more than happy to buy the "same" thing for $600. Then I started to notice the subtle (and meaningful) differences. I would even upgrade my replicas with high quality aftermarket parts. Finally, I realized it's that last 5% attention to detail that makes a real Rolex worth 500% more to me. I now own a genuine Datejust and GMT Master, and I never ever would have been able to appreciate them for the masterpieces that they are had I not been into replicas. Besides, the replica watch community is often more knowledgeable and appreciative of the genuine watches than the gen community! So make that triple irony ;)

It’s more about sentimental value - same reason why someone would purchase a Mercedes AMG or BMW M over just a regular E-class or 3-series (and to an extent I suppose to show off; but many AMG drivers usually go with the flow of traffic, just like I don’t see Rolex owners flashing their wrists at people).

This is very educational. I always thought the quartz tick tock of the second hand would give away the identity of a fake Rolex. But this replica second hand moves as smoothly as the genuine Rolex. And it's accurate to boot. You are so right about the day arriving soon when it will be impossible to tell the difference between the replica and the genuine without opening the watch for inspection. Then the difference will be obvious. I cannot understand how this replica can sell for only $100. This is most remarkable. The Chinese who created this replica are truly gifted craftsmen to be able to do this and make a profit at the same time. It's hard to believe.

Swiss movements run at 28800 but there are now Asian clones of swiss movements. Heck they even clone Rolex movements now.

Mechanical engineer here, with a bit of metallurgical knowledge. To say that 904L stainless steel is Rolex's special steel is a bit of an exaggeration. 904L is a quite common material, and is used a lot chemical industry, in piping and other equipment coming in contact with corrosive chemicals. It's more corrosive resistant (pitting specifically) than 316L in certain environments, but actually easier to work with, because it's slightly softer. Of course, it's also slightly more expensive. There's really no rational reason for using 904L in a diver's watch, unless you intend to dive in acid. 316L works well in sea water.

What caught my eye upon close comparison was the font differences between the fake and real one. The fake one's font has the letters more smashed together (specifically the "Swiss Made" and "Officially Certified" letters, whereas the real one has the font a little more spaced out between the letters, creating an overall more polished look.

This debate will rage and rage. I always loved 4 Rooms, the TV programme. The idea that value is simply what people are prepared to pay. 50K for a 'Banksy' found in a skip was one of my favourites. Rolex is a particularly curious case. I like them, I'd wear one. 10K for a straight blck Sub...is complete and utter madness, but it shows how skilled Rolex are at limiting supply deliberately to stimulate extreme demand. Ultimately it's customers are the ones forcing the prices up...and feel even more pleased to pay more due to the exclusivity. A very bizarre simbiotic relationship. Customers are simultaneously pissed off at the ever increasing prices and yet inwardly delighted that they can afford it....and almost everyone else can't. Luxury goods are a bizarre and strange world that fascinate me as a designer. The real monetary value of a Submariner? I'd say £1500 and there'd still be a lot of margin. My stone cold view as someone who manufactures things.

Mine doesn't have the glide lock adjustment, perhaps that wasn't around 20 years ago. I was told that they are made in Vietnam. I would have liked you to take the back off to see the inside differences. A jeweller friend did that to mine and said it looked like a Citizen automatic movement.

It was nice, but not that great for accuracy in celestial navigation, which was its primary purpose for me. When Seiko came out with their quartz movement Sports 100 models, l got one of those and stopped using the Rolex. About ten years later, after barely escaping alive from the jaws of a self described preying mantis, whose females eat their mates, aka, my ex, and needing money, l foolishly sold it for what seemed like a handsome profit of about 300%. Can't say l miss wearing it, but the knowledge that they're now worth somewhere between $25,000 and $30k stings a bit. Maybe l'll be smarter in the next lifetime, but l wouldn't bet on it..

I recently received a replica and as far as I can tell the only place the knock off manufacturers cheaped out was on the crystal - there's no cyclops magnification at all and no crown logo etched in at the 6 o'clock position. In all other aspects mentioned in this video, it's a good replica. I suppose if I wanted to up the replica factor I could have a better crystal installed but I'm not going to bother.

Great review, and thankyou. I work the Bicycle trade where things are slightly the opposite in some cases. The cheaper asian bike frames are of a better quality of manufacturing than the top big brands which at times can cost triple the amount for a single frame kit! These guys really have obtained a great deal of experience in copying but also producing high quality products.

You've pretty much confirmed the one I found is a fake. In a lot of details it is pretty good, but the outer bezel has play, and the bracelet is a bit beat up, and the crown on the clasp lock is entirely missing. There is a bit of play where the band connects to the watchcase. The numbers on the rotating bezel are a bit discolored off white the crystal is beautiful and the bubble really magnifies. S/No. TAAA 1211. I live on rural Oahu and found it on the floor of the bus.

About 12 years ago I bought an imitation Omega Seamaster Professional Automatic Chronometer for £62 delivered including insurance. I was such a good copy that many people thought it to be an original. About six years ago it stopped working so rather look foolish by taking it to a local watch repair shop I gave it to my friend who said he'd like to play about with the movement etc. About an hour after leaving my house he phoned to say it was working perfectly and I owed him for a new battery so overlooking the fact that it wasn't automatic not only did it look and feel like the real thing it had kept perfect time for six years. Unfortunately I somehow managed to strip the thread on the crown so it won't screw in and lock so when I wear it it catches and does not keep good time but the last time I saw it it was still working.

I would have loved to compare the insides. I was in China a long time ago and bout 3 fake Rolex. Took them home and gave to wife and son. Plus I have one. They all stopped working within 3 to 4 weeks. Took them apart and there was a few nylon gears that messed with metal gears. That was the problem because the metal gear wore the nylon gears teeth down to where they would not turn anymore. There were 3 levels of these fakes and I did buy the cheapest ones.

I even took it off and tried on a few other offerings, dealer handled the watch and still not a peep. I didnt have the guts to tell him it was a fake tho. lol

Very good replica. Replicas exist because the genuine are hugely expensive of course. And of course being £100 will make you question the real price of the genuine. The genuine is obviously superior, but never worth 100 x the price of the fake. If the same watchmaker made essentially the same watch ( materials etc...) , without the brand then it would be worth a fraction of the price, proving you are just paying for the name as with any brand. The interesting thing about this is someone is building this fake for a £100 , so why are the genuine so expensive?

I’m a little surprised at the “it’s not worth it” comments given that this is a watch channel. One poster mentioned the lifespan of the real watch as a differentiator and that is undoubtedly true. Our phones tell better time than the most expensive watches so truly it’s not about time. Quality is an end in itself otherwise the Yugo would still be a selling cars and the Mercedes Benz in the trash heap if all we cared about was utility. I worked my way through college and graduated after ten years. My reward was a Cyma, my first real watch, and one I still own. After graduate school it was a Tag Carrera that I wore every day most of my working life. I own most Tag models, a few Omegas, a Rolex and one Breitling. From my grandfather I have a vintage Rolex and Patek. These watches are placeholders in my life. One celebrates the birth of my son. My diving watch honors my daughter who died too early and was my diving buddy. They are part of my story and journey through life.

I live a life with the appointment book. However, I have not yet experienced a situation in which a mechanical wristwatch would not have given a sufficiently accurate time. In this respect, the smartphone argument is in favor of the wastepaper basket anyway. And I'm happy about every moment when I don't have to look at my smartphone. Is a Rolex worth the money? Is a Lange&Söhne Zeitwerk worth more than $90,000? Is any Omega worth $6,000? Is any watch even worth $1,000? That depends on how much money you have and how much you want to spend. In the end, even a $300 watch does its job and can look good. Almost nothing in our life is really worth its price.

I would not give my money to Rolex on principle. Firstly, they make +/ - One million watches a year, for about $700. So the are hardly exclusive.Retailers add about another third. If you want to have your watch serviced, you HAVE to go to an authorised dealer, at a staggering cost. Otherwise your warrant is invalid. I own many replicas, and enjoy them all. Presently I am wearing a titanium, sterile , automatic Panerai copy, with a Seagull movement. I've had it 12 years, and apart from gaining 2 mins every 5 days, it has never let me down. It cost me $75, with a leather strap. One of my others is a Milgaus Rolex, with a quartz movement and the lightning bolt seconds hand. Well made, even down to the green glass ring. $56. Why pay more ? PS, if you know anything about watches, look elsewhere in that price range.
