Rolex Spotting the Fakes!
Don't get fooled with cheap Asia-Fakes anymore! This platform is polluted with fake-sellers who advertise their watches to be authentic Rolex. Especially in the new collection the label protects itself through hightech features on its products, which are almost impossible to copy. So be aware of those signs of authenticity for Rolex, and check out our list below, if you wanna be sure to buy the Original, and to be absolutely sure- next time buy at our shop!
Rolex - Signs of a Fake!
- Clear Casebacks: we only know two watches that had clear casebacks, which were exhibition models from 1930 and have never been produced at all! Probably one of the easiest ways to identify a fake Rolex is by the caseback. Counterfeiters will often use a clear display, or "skeleton" caseback, thus allowing you to view the inner workings of the watch. The problem is Rolex does not make such a watch; therefore, these models are easily identified as fakes!

Again, Rolex does not engrave the caseback with logos, hallmarks, or designs. Genuine Rolex models will have a "smooth" caseback, and are free of these engravings. The rare exceptions to this are ladies' models (prior to the mid 1990's) which had "Original Rolex Design" or a similar variation thereof, engraved on the caseback in an arc fashion. Another exception is on the Sea-Dweller case backs which will have "Rolex Oyster Original Gas Escape Valve" engraved around the outside of the caseback in an arc fashion.
