One thing a lot of people don't realize is, there are people who will take a super clone and then do some custom things to it to bump it up even more to look very authentic. Sometimes they'll even buy authentic parts to install in these super clones to make them even closer to the real thing.
As the person above me said. Frankensteins. Take a great superclone, throw on real genuine hands, crystal, dial, sometimes date wheel or bezel if needed. And for just a couple thousand you have an almost identical clone of a 30-40 thousand dollar watch.
So what you’re saying is buy that clone… change the engraving and crystal, then sell it to Producer Micheal or Happy Jewellers… Adam can do the due diligence / setup a ping pong game for this hypothetical watch.
if someone is able to re-create the exact same thing, sell it for 1/10th of the cost and still make profit, then it goes to show how overpriced these "luxury" watches have gotten.

My Dad gave me a AAA fake Rolex for my birthday, and he said he would buy me an original one if I was able to use and care for it for 20 years. I wore it every day as it looked very legit. The other day while he was playing with his grandchild I told him, Dad, you don't need to give me an original one, I can afford it myself now. However, I am somehow attached to the one you gave me. It's been 26 years and I have enjoyed it every day. He looked me in the eye and said: Son, you always had the original.
lucky you didn't give it away, thinking it wasn't worth much. But your dad did give you the ultimate test. You cared that it was a gift from him, more than how valuable the watch was.

Difference: 4.09 the circle is perfectly centred on the triangle. At 4.27 on the other watch the circle looks a bit ropey and hits the edges of the triangle.
All this video did was encourage people to buy replica watches, which is a good thing. For Rolex to charge 30X the price for the exact same item which can only be told apart under a microscope is absolutely disgusting. Thank you Michael!

Rolex provides an ego boost for those who need one. My Timex provides perfect time, and I paid $35 for it at Walmart several years ago.

Legit, watches were the first social experiment to figure out a list of the most moronic people on planet, and since it only worked for the extremely wealthy morons they did the iphone to gather the masses, now if you see someone with an iphone and a rolex, you know he's a special breed, but probably loaded with money.
This is exactly what gave it away to me as well. The shine just made it look cheap imo. A Rolex is perfect. And the last thing you'd want is glare stopping you from being able to read the time on your Rolex.
The lume on the left is inferior so it's the polish and actual manufacture of the fine details I'm 6 and a half minutes into the video and have seen at least 4 different parts of the left watch that are just manufactured lazily, maybe it's because I'm an apprentice jeweller that I'm noticing but they are big differences to me
You cant tell and you have a microscope and a real one next to it. Now imagine just walking into a stor and tge fake one is just sitting in the showcase. You would buy it and wear it for life and never know.
Believe me. You can compare fonts under a microscope but there is still a noticeable quality difference, and above all, the way an authentic Rolex looks under different lighting conditions is different. Fakes do not (yet) have achieved that. You need to swap out the bezel, hands and crystal for genuine parts to overcome that. But that will set you off a couple of thousand dollars.
So one interesting thing about a deep sea is it requires a special size case back removal tool and since most non AD stores never deal with a deep sea they wouldn't have the tool to inspect the movement. Also you have to send in a deep sea to rolex to service it because the factory has the machine that can certify it to that crazy depth . A service at a AD cannot validate the warranty without this.
You’d have to be crazy to buy any Rolex without taking the back off, unless it’s from Rolex authorized dealer. The moment you look at that hairspring and see the adjuster instead of screw weights, it’s the detail that no super clone has got right.. yet
The right one is clearly a genuine one. because on the original there is no glare on the glass that makes it harder to see the color gradation (especially on this james cameron edition, where the dial is the whole point). The edges of the crown and the micro adjuster were much crispier, and overall finish on the right one is much finer. Also, thickness of chrome circles around the hour markers are more accurate, and so on.

@@skadoosh4001 LOL. There's no R&D in mechanical watches. They've been around for centuries. And today are made by modern machines invented for other uses, and simply reprogramed for gears and sprockets.
High-quality Rolex replicas are not cheap. They often sell for over $1000 USD, so they are still a pricey item for those of you who want to look rich or fake it 'til you make it.
Like any game of chess, Rolex is going to have to add some type of unique marker/identifier that cannot be readily duplicated [until the fake product guys figure it out]. I don't know enough about how or what Rolex needs to do, but it is incredible that the fake can fool a dealer who knows how to spot a real Rolex from a fake until now.
You need to be careful using the bracelet to authenticate a real Rolex. Sometimes they will put a real Rolex watch band on a fake watch case... nice video... 👍🏼
Love your respect for perfection, Even Fake perfection! LOL Michael, you are one of my favorite people I have had the pleasure of getting to know through UA-cam!
I guessed it right in the first minute. The crispness in the Rolex name and the font/colours was the giveaway. When it came to the engraving details, the small narrow machining I feel no fake watch maker would attempt because it looks aesthetically displeasing and it is riskier. That was my take anyway, the one on the left was a little too try hard with its bold engravings...
I think the right one is the real one. My thinking is as follows. 3:08-3:30 the left watch has a notch on the top dot at 12 oclock the right watch does not have this notch on the topside of the dot at the 12 o'clock mark. I do not know anything about watches! But the right not having a notch in top, looks better, therefore my guess is that rights the real one. Can't wait till the end of the clip to find out what's what. Edit: I was right about it and somehow this was a confidence booster.
I chose correctly. What gave it away for me was when you compared the bezels of both watches. If you look carefully the bezel knurling going around the watch has very slight striations on the left one on the concaves. The watch on the right did not.
The AR coating is the most obvious giveaway. Knew at the beginning of the that the left one is fake because of all the glare it gives out. If they fix that you'll literally have the perfect copy
Question: many Rolex watches have 18-karat gold cases, or two-tone steel and gold. How do 'fake gold' replicas stack up compared to the real thing? Surely making fake gold look like 18-karat gold would not be easy. I guess this means that only all-steel replicas are capable of looking authentic?
My son purchased a super Rolex copy and it was perfect. The giveaway was when the back cover was removed and the balance wheel is compared. There is a huge difference between them but the rest of the movement is the same.
There's actually a better version than this one available. Funny how far the factories have come along with this- a few years ago it was all about who could mod their bezels with the best platinum fill. There were all kinds of formulas and tricks but today, there's no need for that.
This is why Grand Seiko just can’t be copied unlike Rolex. Its just so hard to replicate fine hair brushing,zaratsu polishing and micro perfection of GS.
I can always tell fake straight away from the 6 and 9 markers. Fakes have sharp edges and the real Rolex makers have softer, almost rounded edges. Easy to spot and works every time.
The E'S in watch #1 also differ from the real one. "OystER PerpEtual RolEx. Each has different width in the way its spelled and line thickness. hope im right!
3:26 The triangle on the bezel seems to be narrow so the dot feels out of place on the left watch. But I can't tell if it's geniune or not, it just look better on the right watch.
The biggest luxury is not having to wear a watch, because that means you have time. The second biggest luxury is space, because that means you have privacy.
The fact that the pip was slightly higher, thus making it ‘off center,’ for me was the kicker on watch left. The engraving on watch right was impressive, but the fact that the pip wasn’t right was a dead giveaway away for me. IMO. Nice job on the video. Thanks for doing it..
At 0:26 you can already recognize the fake. Just look at the reflection compared to the real one when it is under the camera. Either they have messed up the AR coating or there is none at all.
I bought a black dial, 2 tone stainless/gold 'AAA' Sub back in 1999 and it cost me $US870 and I still have it and it still looks very nice. I've had it serviced a couple times and the watchmaker said the movement was of good quality and it still keeps time within about 3 sec/day.....but its NOT the real deal and I never tell anyone that it is.
.......and now, the secret is OUT! My advice is to sell the POS watch, buy a classic car and splurge on a nice dinner in a flashy Hollywood restaurant. Who knows......you might even be offered a part in a B-Movie.
I don’t think I agree with you what you said about Rolex themselves because in the tens of thousands of hours that I watched videos on these watches I’ve actually seen Rolex turnaway watches saying they were fake and they turned out to be not so it really is tough but then again someone like me who could never pay 10 or $20,000 for a watch ever in my lifetime to buy a watch that nice for $1000 which I did and they say only one percent of the entire population would ever be able to tell it’s fake is cool. I think I’m not gonna resell it. I just bought it so I could wear it.😜
@@donxman3365 I just remembered googling premium copy until something came up. That looked the very best that I wanted. I don’t recall the actual place.
The right has the proper circle at 12. The circle in the triangle should always be inside the triangle 1. Start with the numbers at 6 o'clock under the glass. Fakes usually have the numbers laser inscribed on the inner side wall. A real Rolex has them embossed into the wall with nice smooth sides and polished edges. 2. Check the Rolex crown on the inside of the glass at 6 o'clock. It is made of precisely placed dots. 3. Check the date numbers. The Rolex numbers are precise with clear well-defined paint edges. Fakes are usually smudgy under high magnification with raggedy edges. 4. Dial Colors usually don't match exactly. 5. The 12-hour circle should be inside the triangle on a rotting bezel watch.
I've watched your videos for years and noticed today that I've not seen a video of yours in months! That I had been unsubscribed from your channel. Just thought I'd let you know. Have a blessed day ❤
The crystal’s AR coating gives this one away. I’ve seen some superclones good enough to fool me by their exterior though - but when all else fails check the balance. I’ve been in this field almost 30 years and I’ve never seen any fake go to the extent of replicating a proper freesprung balance and paracrom hairspring. There are Frankens where people will swap a genuine movement into a clone though.
Not to toot my own horn but I called the fake out at 1:04. However, that is with the benefit of having a real one to compare to. Without that, I don't think I would have been able to tell.
One thing a lot of people don't realize is, there are people who will take a super clone and then do some custom things to it to bump it up even more to look very authentic. Sometimes they'll even buy authentic parts to install in these super clones to make them even closer to the real thing.

My son purchased a super Rolex copy and it was perfect. The giveaway was when the back cover was removed and the balance wheel is compared. There is a huge difference between them but the rest of the movement is the same.
The one on the right, the silver coloured infills on the bezel is perfect. The one on the left wasn't crisp. I seen it immediately.
Stands out a mile.
There's actually a better version than this one available. Funny how far the factories have come along with this- a few years ago it was all about who could mod their bezels with the best platinum fill. There were all kinds of formulas and tricks but today, there's no need for that.
@@TheOtherMisterRogers I always wanted to modify my bezels, but finally quit after years of trying.
Would be nice to know who manufactured such a good rep.
You can immediately tell that watch 1 is fake. Just look at those jagged edges on the triangle. 3:35
Yeah, but the real one had real crappy engraving on the clasp too
A link and a producer Michael promo code for the fake would be awesome!
Lmaooooo
This is why Grand Seiko just can’t be copied unlike Rolex.
Its just so hard to replicate fine hair brushing,zaratsu polishing and micro perfection of GS.
True value in GS. Rappers bling Rolex.
For a reason why Rolex is losing ground to other Swiss watch makers like Omega.
What a junk. Who wears it anyways. Rolex is a true garbage
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of *amzwatch* 's watch 99% of people will never see.
So one can spend a couple hundo on a fake vs thousands (tens) on real that look 98% the same… what’s the discussion all about?
I can always tell fake straight away from the 6 and 9 markers. Fakes have sharp edges and the real Rolex makers have softer, almost rounded edges. Easy to spot and works every time.
You’re so cool lil bro
@yamafanboy5514 find me a rep where this is not true. Even the best 1:1 noobs etc all have this issue.
@yamafanboy5514 genau so ist es#!!!!!
The E'S in watch #1 also differ from the real one. "OystER PerpEtual RolEx. Each has different width in the way its spelled and line thickness. hope im right!
This replica is almost better than the original ...
you probably should stick with $200 watches.
@@DonLee1980he’s not a dumbass like you blowing thousands on a watch lmao
thumbs up if they should use the microscope on Caroline, making sure it's the real Caroline in the next house tour.
Maybe they are both fake?😂
why copy a watch brand if you're that good?
because the value of the watch is the brand, not the materials or manufacturing
The watch mechanism is different they can't replicated it's too expensive to do that
Butt boy
@@nabilzouitini5054They can and they do.
And even a superclone costs only 1000$
Money…
Have these two had a drink lol
Clearly the fake watch on the left has a lower quality bracelet which looks not so aligned, the green writing is also not in correct scale
Just started watching vids about how to tell the difference, and this one actually taught me something, AND was entertaining. Thankyou. 😊👍
There are so many good fake Rolex watches around, so if you're wearing a Rolex most people will just assume it's not real.
As a watch collector, when I saw the clasp engravings I immediately knew which one was the fake.
BS😏
3:26 The triangle on the bezel seems to be narrow so the dot feels out of place on the left watch. But I can't tell if it's geniune or not, it just look better on the right watch.
The biggest luxury is not having to wear a watch, because that means you have time. The second biggest luxury is space, because that means you have privacy.
That is very tempting. Good that I don´t know which store is selling the fake.
The fact that the pip was slightly higher, thus making it ‘off center,’ for me was the kicker on watch left. The engraving on watch right was impressive, but the fact that the pip wasn’t right was a dead giveaway away for me. IMO.
Nice job on the video. Thanks for doing it..
Immediatly I can see how the light shines off the crystal differntly on 1 than 2. I would think 1 is fake but we will see
When you need a microscope to see if it's real or not, they are winning
I bet the fake Rolex is more accurate when it comes to time keeping 😂
At 0:26 you can already recognize the fake. Just look at the reflection compared to the real one when it is under the camera. Either they have messed up the AR coating or there is none at all.
Multiple watch experts could not tell which one was fake. One cost approx. $20,000 and the other an absolute max of $1000. I'll just leave that there.
I bought a black dial, 2 tone stainless/gold 'AAA' Sub back in 1999 and it cost me $US870 and I still have it and it still looks very nice. I've had it serviced a couple times and the watchmaker said the movement was of good quality and it still keeps time within about 3 sec/day.....but its NOT the real deal and I never tell anyone that it is.
.......and now, the secret is OUT! My advice is to sell the POS watch, buy a classic car and splurge on a nice dinner in a flashy Hollywood restaurant. Who knows......you might even be offered a part in a B-Movie.
I don’t think I agree with you what you said about Rolex themselves because in the tens of thousands of hours that I watched videos on these watches I’ve actually seen Rolex turnaway watches saying they were fake and they turned out to be not so it really is tough but then again someone like me who could never pay 10 or $20,000 for a watch ever in my lifetime to buy a watch that nice for $1000 which I did and they say only one percent of the entire population would ever be able to tell it’s fake is cool. I think I’m not gonna resell it. I just bought it so I could wear it.😜
Where did you buy?
@@donxman3365 just punch in super clone you’ll find one
@@donxman3365 I just remembered googling premium copy until something came up. That looked the very best that I wanted. I don’t recall the actual place.
An interesting comparison of real vs fake, but I was disappointed that we didn’t see the actual movements side by side.
The right has the proper circle at 12. The circle in the triangle should always be inside the triangle
1. Start with the numbers at 6 o'clock under the glass. Fakes usually have the numbers laser inscribed on the inner side wall. A real Rolex has them embossed into the wall with nice smooth sides and polished edges.
2. Check the Rolex crown on the inside of the glass at 6 o'clock. It is made of precisely placed dots.
3. Check the date numbers. The Rolex numbers are precise with clear well-defined paint edges. Fakes are usually smudgy under high magnification with raggedy edges.
4. Dial Colors usually don't match exactly.
5. The 12-hour circle should be inside the triangle on a rotting bezel watch.
Plot twist they are both real, representative at Rolex who said watch was fake was actually his first day at work
I've watched your videos for years and noticed today that I've not seen a video of yours in months!
That I had been unsubscribed from your channel. Just thought I'd let you know. Have a blessed day ❤
One never gets scammed with a fake one, only with the real one 😂
What an absorbing video. well done guys, so informative. So, the upshot is, don't buy a Rolex unless you buy it from the factory!
I can't believe ProducerMichael isn't wearing a Trump watch; he's already cloned Trump's hair. 🙂
The crystal’s AR coating gives this one away. I’ve seen some superclones good enough to fool me by their exterior though - but when all else fails check the balance. I’ve been in this field almost 30 years and I’ve never seen any fake go to the extent of replicating a proper freesprung balance and paracrom hairspring. There are Frankens where people will swap a genuine movement into a clone though.
Vs and clean factory...are very good at rolex replicas....
Not to toot my own horn but I called the fake out at 1:04. However, that is with the benefit of having a real one to compare to. Without that, I don't think I would have been able to tell.
Luv you two good to see you both thanks😊❤
