Hello. I'd like to ask a question i found this day date president 1991 rolex on a junkyard i can't see any reviews about it how can i see if its real? there's no rolex company on my town and i can't do a thing about it last time i asked it to be checked they said its real.
I bough one used, but the date just is separate and not altogether. Does that mean it’s fake? Or is it a different type of model? DATEJUST OR DATE JUST
It was Day-Date and Datejust from what I understand. Not sure if they ever made a Datejust with a space in-between. I honestly doubt it. Could be wrong.
So on stainless theres no no# on the case,mine dosen't have a no# and it's just like line but I notice the dates some are small and some are bigger. What that's mean is it fake?
If rotating the crown clockwise and the time go clockwise, does it mean it’s fake? I see some videos showing turning the crown anti clockwise while the time goes clockwise, please advise
@@itscomplicatedwatches I believe he is talking about setting the time, not moving the bezel. The statement that all Rolex's minute hand moves clockwise when turning the crown clockwise is a myth. It all depends on the calibre/movement number.
My dad has a fake he got on some vacation 15 years ago. I still can’t tell the difference and it still works. I’m watching the video to see if I can understand what’s different. I’m no watch expert, but I’m guessing 99/100 people wouldn’t be able to tell. I think he spend 100 bucks on it
@@jayden5718 none at all? Not the rotor, not the crown, nothing at all? It’s probably fake. Hah. Well, let’s just say most. Some are quieter than others, but I found that most I handled made some noise. So many watches out there that it’s hard to find a universal rule though.
I received a 70's Rolex oyster perpetual Date today at work (used gold and watch buying). While seeing how it sets the time, turning the crown CLOCKWISE made the hands turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE. Is that an immediate fake alert ? Id really appreciate a reply. Cheers
Take a magnifying glass and look at the markings on the dial, if you notice any imperfections then it's fake. See if the magnifier(cyclops) above the date window is 2.5 times magnification, fake watches generally have 1.5 times magnification, on a real Rolex the date should just jump out. Otherwise post on reddit (r/watches) there are Rolex experts there who'll be able to tell by just one glance.
No. Your watch's movement is a Caliber 1570 and turning the crown clockwise makes the hands turn counterclockwise. Of course a watchmaker will say the final answer.
They should all tick, but a genuine one ticks very quickly. Serial number only does so much. If you're in the market to buy a used one I suggest meeting at a jeweler who can authenticate the piece for you. You'll have to pay them, of course.
Just another obvious tell tell for this specific model 114200, the band should not have brushed outer links with polished center links. The entire band should be brushed & the crown is laser engraved into the oyster clasp. The band & clasp on this replica is more of that of a datejust model. A quick google search & paying attention to detail as shown in this video makes a world of difference & could save you from getting ripped off for possibly thousands. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
I looked on the rolex website how they set the time on the Rolex Day Date 40mm and when they turned the dial.clock wise the hand move counter clock wise
Very convincing, especially the part @7:04 where you show a picture of a genuine Rolex movement in comparison to the fake one. Having said all that I would add to it that these people who make these counterfeit timepieces would have much better luck selling exactly the same piece as an homage to Rolex and calling it by a different (their own) brand name. Don't you think?
personally i love a replica rolex ....i have a real one (just the one sadly) that everyone assumes is fake anyway and believe me the ones ive paid $50-$300 for are not $5000+ worse in any way on the wrist than the genuine one
I have a real rolex and honestly... people assume its fake anyway and for the average person fake and real both are pretty similar and people just assume ur poor and cant afford one.. I once had to show my friends that my watch is actually real and they couldnt believe i'd spend such amount of money on a watch.. yet they blame me for wearing a fake one LMAO I mean I have 5 fake rolexs and 2 real ones and the fake ones are just for casually wearting it without being scared someone is going to rob ur expensive watch etc..
I'd love to see one of these done for the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Superlative Chornometer one, I found one (yes, found) one not working and though I'm pretty sure it's fake, if it is they did a pretty damn good job with it. Though I'm not expert, and there are some things that look a bit wonky, but its still hard for me to tell.
I appreciate the tips cause i'm looking for a nice pre owned Rolex day date presidential. I'm finding some pre owned at 10,000$ is a too good to be true price? I'm a movado man myself. Tuning in from Wilmington Delaware 2020.
@Korey Lackford 10k could be okay for a gold Rolex but then you get a 40yo watch. A new one is closer to 40 than 10. I have a 16610 I would love to have one in gold one day. my 16610 is pretty collectible but I'm not ready to throw 20k at a solid gold one. Not yet anyway. I hope you are well during this crazy time! Cheers!
Korey Lackford Day-Dates were always 18 karat gold I think. So that would be correct. If I were you I’d at least ask a local jeweler to meet the seller and you just to verify the watches authenticity. Be careful!
On my new Submariner I turn the crown anti-clockwise to move the hands forward as well. Depends on the generation/movement of the watch. My Submariner, and like your Datejust, have the 3235 movement.
Great video, now I really really want a fake because I know 99.999% of people would never notice the difference unless it was given to them for close inspection.
Chris i held a rolex for the first time the other day i only own breitling’s but when i wound the crown ... HOLY SHIT it was so smooth i couldn’t believe it i felt bad, i spent alot on a navitimer & the shit doesn’t come close to Winding like a datejust, The quality was just amazing
I have ZERO experience with Rolex, however I inherited many watches when my father passed away. Included in the collection are three Rolex watches. I took them to a jewelry store where I have my personal watches serviced. They said the "Oyster Perpetual" was fake but the other two are real vintage Rolex's. Also the two Omega's I got are also real. My dad wasn't sure about the Oyster when I spoke to him about it while he was alive. My sister's ex-husband gave it to him. No surprise that it was a fake. Much like that dude is
are the flaws you point out really worth an extra 5000 dollars in the real world? thats the big question ,I know it makes it a far “better”watch does a real rolex offer 5000 dollars “more” watch besides the luxury factor ,its a basic piece that solely tells the time
Hey Chris, what local shop were you talking about when you were on with Clyve? I’m in Pgh too and I might be interested in that Datejust you said he had. And FYI for another option around here, Chad at Casa Doro in Cranberry is a good guy, he’ll find and get just about anything preowned you want.
Small error in this video: I purchased a 2023 36mm Oyster Perpetual 126000 from an AD and when you set the time, if you spin the crown clockwise, the hands do indeed move in a counter clockwise direction. Hope that helps some of you that may have freaked out when you heard that lol
Lmfaooo wow. When you put the crown up to the speaker it was a wrap for me 😂 Now I know what to really pay attention to. Even from stores. If it’s ot from rolex ig its a no.
did Rolex ever put anything on the outside of back plate. my neighbor has a OP datejust that's from the 70's or 80s and watching you vids I am thinking is not real. the calendar numbers look thin, the date is not magnified, there are no numbers, just jeweled diamonds clockwise and the backside. 36mm brushed outer bands w/ 3 gold thin bands in the mid. says Rolex of Geneva. swiss made with 16-78678 stamped on it
I mean if the date is not magnified that's a big deal. Rolex has been known to make some errors there but I haven't heard of zero magnification. I know the ladies models from the past had some engraving on the back of the case but from what you're telling me your neighbor's watch is likely fake.
I must say you have a thing for the theatrics because you seriously over express simple things. However, I say you do have a passion and good knowledge
Most Rolex movements when you turn the crown clockwise the hands turn clockwise, especially on the model I was talking about. However on some ladies watches, etc, that could be counterclockwizse. But I was correct in that a DateJust Watch turns cockwise while you set it. Maybe the one form 1943 didn't but they all do now and if someone is selling you a Rolex on the street this method still works.
Even if its fake...im happy to know than its not destroyed.....good action to give it for a Friend. . . Destruction of an item its stipid action ( its good to conserve it for example and comparison with genuine)
I'm torn on the fake Rolex I have. On the one hand, it is most obviously a fake. Mine is a replica of an Oyster Perpetual, with the blue face and stainless steel bracelet. I know it's a fake because it was my Dad's, and he was a man who would balk at any watch more than $100. On the other hand, it was my dad's, and after he passed, I found it in a drawer in his bedroom. He clearly hadn't worn it in some time, but I knew he wore it, given the scratches and other general signs of being an everyday watch for some time. I put it on (I didn't even see that it was a [fake] Rolex at the time, I believe it is the smallish 36mm face) and it fit my wrist perfectly. So - I wear it to remember my dear old dad by. And I smile knowing that he would smirk at me knowing his "Brolex" is fake as hell, but actually looks decent and keeps fairly good time. Not bad for a (probably) Chinese watch that likely cost him about $65.
Just curious about the Rolex etching? I have a 2004 Rolex Datejust and can't see that Rolex crown etching at the 6:00 area of the crystal even with a magnifying glass? Great videos, Thanks
Try shining a flashlight at the nine oclock or 3 oclock and see if it lights up. I'm pretty sure they started rolling those crystals out in 2002 but that doesn't mean in 2004 every Rolex had one. I'd have to look more into it.
@@itscomplicatedwatches I'll try that, but this is a Datejust, the cyclops is at the 3:00? This is my only Rolex. I bought this on a wim. The dealer didn't have this in stock. I had to order it, so I ordered this watch with a slate dial with a jubilee bracelet. I've been on the internet trying to learn about this watch, ( that has been a safe queen sense new). And Wow, I see so much about counterfeit Rolex watches. I'm starting to worry. I'm trying to make sure the watch is as ordered. and the dealer didn't sneak in parts not OEM Rolex. I told the dealer I DIDN'T want any aftermarket parts on this watch. I bought this watch hoping for a good investment? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks
@@dougharlow6037 Will be easier to spot. If the cyclops is at 3 the LEC will be at six for sure. I've read people not finding theirs on no-dates only to find the crown was like at 8 or 2. On a date thought it would be right at 6. Cheers.
@@itscomplicatedwatches I'm looking at the watch right now. Just to make sure, we are talking about the etching on the crystal, right? I took a high lumens white flash light and can't see any etching?
@@dougharlow6037 should look something like this, www.fratellowatches.com/wp-content/uploads/140601_RolexLEC.jpg however it's possible that particular watch didnt come with a LEC in '04. Something to talk to your AD about if you're concerned.
Your opinion help lot's of people from buying fake Rolex. Thank you.can you please give me these watch .I love watches but can't afford.pls if you can give.
This fake is so bad. Polished lugs, polished center links... Immediate fail. However, there are superb replicas of the 114300 and 116000 that aren't distinguishable without taking off the case back. Google JF factory.
Should have focused more on verifiable fact(s), such as where the serial number should have been located rather than speaking of opinions - how so-and-so should look like.
I got a rep... Gold and black oyster.. just had a right job adjusting my strap.. but i like it. I can afford a real one or even an expensive replica and this for over 30 dollars was better than that one. Looks the part.. oh yeah the strap was a push pin though not screw and was tight as.
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO
Hi.i just had the watch guy at Ben Bridges Seattle tell me the only true way to tell ,is to take the back off to see if it's a true ROLEX,all the other surface tests ,are not 100%,but that store Seattle store refused to take the back off to see.to me that store "Ben Bridges" downtown Seattle,by refusing to take the back off of this" maybe fake rolex" are just as guilty as the bootleggers of said fake / fraudulent watch,and we all know copywright infringement is not a joke,this store in the above mentioned should loose their rights to be a authorized dealer of Rolex!!!!!!!
My mom bought a rolex watch (illegally) from saudi arabia a long time ago, it's kinda cheap but she said she buy it from auction market kind of. So i'm not really sure if the watch is fake.. I hope your video explanation would help me out thank you.
Like your content, but I have a copy that is complimented on daily basis, but the folk know I cant afford a real one, so if it looks good and feels good, fuck it, you'll do me
Thanks .. I paid 500 for my fake Rolex .. lol. I’m glad I looked you up before . I repent anymore cash on it ... awesome video.. you want to hit mine for your videos .. looked real until I did you check list
Who has a lot of money to buy originals and preserve them 1000 years wear a cheap use it and gift it... A deadly concept this guy is a chutiya fellow...man
Well, soon four years have passed and by now the design and detail accuracy plus build quality of the best fakes have raised to unexpected heights. And so has the price of the high-end fakes. For the unwary this video now may be even misleading as a high quality fake is nowadays extremely problematic to reveal even by a professional watch dealer or watchmaker without a loupe and a real reference by side of the suspected fake. Still liked for the old time's sake.
3:15 ... This watch is very old from the early days of copy cats ...it appears to be from China. BTW, Rolex is not really a great watch, per se. It is not even a prestigious name when compared to really great watches from Switzerland. However, it was the first to make a really water-resistant wrist watch for everyday use. I bought my first Rolex (Stainless Steel) in 1964 ... yes, I was enamoured and befouled by the adverisement. I was only 22. I used it until 1974 then gave it to my more affluent cousin. It was a real pain in the butt ... adjustment all the time, servicing ... I bought and used quite a few, the best was IWC ... Now I have 4 wrist watches: Racine Royale 1927 Handcrafted, 18 ct Gold, Dress watch, designed by Roger Gallet, the Racing Driver ... my grandmother ordered it for my father's Graduation Present. It never loses or gains. It is the only one in the world ... Omega, 18 ct Gold, Dress Watch 1960, my graduation present from my mother ... Philip Mercier, Radio Controlled ...PIA to adjust ... Rolex Quartz, Dress, Date/Month ...very good looking and my favourite ...the f* battery costs US $50 ...but does last hell of a long time ... Oh, yes, I bought 2 Rolex Day Date, in Pakistan in 2002 for almost pittance. They were really great. Even the watch repairer could not tell the difference. Stolen by my man servant in Nigeria ... I see nothing wrong with buying Copies for pittance. How can it be justified? Hermes Silk Scarf being sold for US $150, made in Thailand where it is being sold for US $15 or a Nike Sports Shoes for US $185 that is made in Mexico for US $ 10 ... consumer pays huge sums to fill the fat belly of PIMPS ...
Not sure why all the negative comments. I appreciate his video, nasty and all. And it confirmed my suspicion that my even nastier watch was not just a vintage, but a very nasty fake, even to the point where on the back it says gold plated, and the gold is wearing off, lol. But hey, I got it free from a client getting rid of the clutter because it no longer worked. I can't even find a look-a-like anywhere on the net, so it must be the epitome of fake.
I got one fake in my hands and a real one there is no noooo difrents anything realy same i am scared i switch them already lol i dont know no more wich is the fake one :).. dont compare 50 dollar beach rolex ofcourse u can see the diffrents...

Nice video but you are wrong to say moving the crown on a genuine Rolex clockwise moves the hands clockwise.
Most Rolex movements when you turn the crown clockwise the hands turn clockwise, especially on the model I was talking about. However on some ladies watches, etc, that could be counterclockwizse. But I was correct in that a DateJust Watch turns cockwise while you set it. Maybe the one form 1943 didn't but they all do now and if someone is selling you a Rolex on the street this method still works.
Even if its fake...im happy to know than its not destroyed.....good action to give it for a Friend. . . Destruction of an item its stipid action ( its good to conserve it for example and comparison with genuine)
I'm torn on the fake Rolex I have. On the one hand, it is most obviously a fake. Mine is a replica of an Oyster Perpetual, with the blue face and stainless steel bracelet. I know it's a fake because it was my Dad's, and he was a man who would balk at any watch more than $100.
On the other hand, it was my dad's, and after he passed, I found it in a drawer in his bedroom. He clearly hadn't worn it in some time, but I knew he wore it, given the scratches and other general signs of being an everyday watch for some time. I put it on (I didn't even see that it was a [fake] Rolex at the time, I believe it is the smallish 36mm face) and it fit my wrist perfectly.
So - I wear it to remember my dear old dad by. And I smile knowing that he would smirk at me knowing his "Brolex" is fake as hell, but actually looks decent and keeps fairly good time. Not bad for a (probably) Chinese watch that likely cost him about $65.
I have a fake Rolex that was given to me and I was told it was fake. It's my work watch whenever I have to do sub-Rolex owner type work.
Just curious about the Rolex etching? I have a 2004 Rolex Datejust and can't see that Rolex crown etching at the 6:00 area of the crystal even with a magnifying glass? Great videos, Thanks
Try shining a flashlight at the nine oclock or 3 oclock and see if it lights up. I'm pretty sure they started rolling those crystals out in 2002 but that doesn't mean in 2004 every Rolex had one. I'd have to look more into it.
@@itscomplicatedwatches I'll try that, but this is a Datejust, the cyclops is at the 3:00? This is my only Rolex. I bought this on a wim. The dealer didn't have this in stock. I had to order it, so I ordered this watch with a slate dial with a jubilee bracelet. I've been on the internet trying to learn about this watch, ( that has been a safe queen sense new). And Wow, I see so much about counterfeit Rolex watches. I'm starting to worry. I'm trying to make sure the watch is as ordered. and the dealer didn't sneak in parts not OEM Rolex. I told the dealer I DIDN'T want any aftermarket parts on this watch. I bought this watch hoping for a good investment? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks
@@dougharlow6037 Will be easier to spot. If the cyclops is at 3 the LEC will be at six for sure. I've read people not finding theirs on no-dates only to find the crown was like at 8 or 2. On a date thought it would be right at 6. Cheers.
@@itscomplicatedwatches I'm looking at the watch right now. Just to make sure, we are talking about the etching on the crystal, right? I took a high lumens white flash light and can't see any etching?
@@dougharlow6037 should look something like this, www.fratellowatches.com/wp-content/uploads/140601_RolexLEC.jpg however it's possible that particular watch didnt come with a LEC in '04. Something to talk to your AD about if you're concerned.
I subbed!
automatic 2 -way do you ?
That's good things to know about a rolex we have a couple of them we're gonna have them checked out see if they're real nut thank you have a good day
Your opinion help lot's of people from buying fake Rolex. Thank you.can you please give me these watch .I love watches but can't afford.pls if you can give.
This fake is so bad. Polished lugs, polished center links... Immediate fail. However, there are superb replicas of the 114300 and 116000 that aren't distinguishable without taking off the case back. Google JF factory.
The second needle shows a huge diff bw real and fake
That’s prob a $60 fake Rolex. Of course it’s going to be poorly made. Haha.
Rat Rod Studios - DRR Customs Ltd At one hundredth the price, is a real one worth 99 times more?
Should have focused more on verifiable fact(s), such as where the serial number should have been located rather than speaking of opinions - how so-and-so should look like.
I got a rep... Gold and black oyster.. just had a right job adjusting my strap.. but i like it. I can afford a real one or even an expensive replica and this for over 30 dollars was better than that one. Looks the part.. oh yeah the strap was a push pin though not screw and was tight as.
Will E Smith fake it until you make it mate. You WILL make it one day 💯
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO
Hi.i just had the watch guy at Ben Bridges Seattle tell me the only true way to tell ,is to take the back off to see if it's a true ROLEX,all the other surface tests ,are not 100%,but that store Seattle store refused to take the back off to see.to me that store "Ben Bridges" downtown Seattle,by refusing to take the back off of this" maybe fake rolex" are just as guilty as the bootleggers of said fake / fraudulent watch,and we all know copywright infringement is not a joke,this store in the above mentioned should loose their rights to be a authorized dealer of Rolex!!!!!!!
It’s called a rehaut mr expert Rolex guy
That's a terrible fake. Clean Factory is almost spot on
My mom bought a rolex watch (illegally) from saudi arabia a long time ago, it's kinda cheap but she said she buy it from auction market kind of. So i'm not really sure if the watch is fake.. I hope your video explanation would help me out thank you.
DON'T WAIST HOUR TIME!... YOUR WATCH IT IS FAKE!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Saved me from spending some money! Thanks!
Awesome. And also, maybe some of your subscrbrs would appreciate an actual side by side comparison.
Like your content, but I have a copy that is complimented on daily basis, but the folk know I cant afford a real one, so if it looks good and feels good, fuck it, you'll do me
Are the Bitter Poet Mad Man days and vids over for good?!
Yeah. Pretty much, man.
What about a 1000 dollar fake?
Pimping it out man.
Too easy
Get a good fake. This one is bullshit. Actually good ones out there
AR Factory, Noob.....JF Factory.....they are 904L steel and do amazing datejusts.....that is a really really cheap awful fake.
There are better fakes for sure.
Thanks .. I paid 500 for my fake Rolex .. lol. I’m glad I looked you up before . I repent anymore cash on it ... awesome video.. you want to hit mine for your videos .. looked real until I did you check list
Will you ever get sold fake from a jewler
Extremely doubtful. It would ruin their reputation.
I can actually hear my rotor, tbh, but that is because I dropped it on a tiled floor once.
Who has a lot of money to buy originals and preserve them 1000 years wear a cheap use it and gift it... A deadly concept this guy is a chutiya fellow...man
I'll take and wear the watch!
looks sooo les quality than a seiko 5. why someone would buy a fake like this instead of buing another original.great watches for same price
why the dislikes?
I got a tiffany blue.oyster perpetual...$500 1to1 clone..had it next to a genuine..no issues at all!..
This replica is a joke
Well, soon four years have passed and by now the design and detail accuracy plus build quality of the best fakes have raised to unexpected heights. And so has the price of the high-end fakes.
For the unwary this video now may be even misleading as a high quality fake is nowadays extremely problematic to reveal even by a professional watch dealer or watchmaker without a loupe and a real reference by side of the suspected fake.
Still liked for the old time's sake.
Dios mio... La creatura
Why give this to a friend? It should not be allowed to be out there looking to snare the next unsuspecting buyer.
i seriously doubt that his friend would ever try to sell it as genuine.
He would never try to move it as genuine. Ever.
3:15 ... This watch is very old from the early days of copy cats ...it appears to be from China.
BTW, Rolex is not really a great watch, per se. It is not even a prestigious name when compared to really great watches from Switzerland. However, it was the first to make a really water-resistant wrist watch for everyday use.
I bought my first Rolex (Stainless Steel) in 1964 ... yes, I was enamoured and befouled by the adverisement. I was only 22. I used it until 1974 then gave it to my more affluent cousin. It was a real pain in the butt ... adjustment all the time, servicing ... I bought and used quite a few, the best was IWC ...
Now I have 4 wrist watches:
Racine Royale 1927 Handcrafted, 18 ct Gold, Dress watch, designed by Roger Gallet, the Racing Driver ... my grandmother ordered it for my father's Graduation Present. It never loses or gains. It is the only one in the world ...
Omega, 18 ct Gold, Dress Watch 1960, my graduation present from my mother ...
Philip Mercier, Radio Controlled ...PIA to adjust ...
Rolex Quartz, Dress, Date/Month ...very good looking and my favourite ...the f* battery costs US $50 ...but does last hell of a long time ...
Oh, yes, I bought 2 Rolex Day Date, in Pakistan in 2002 for almost pittance. They were really great. Even the watch repairer could not tell the difference. Stolen by my man servant in Nigeria ...
I see nothing wrong with buying Copies for pittance. How can it be justified? Hermes Silk Scarf being sold for US $150, made in Thailand where it is being sold for US $15 or a Nike Sports Shoes for US $185 that is made in Mexico for US $ 10 ... consumer pays huge sums to fill the fat belly of PIMPS ...
Not sure why all the negative comments. I appreciate his video, nasty and all. And it confirmed my suspicion that my even nastier watch was not just a vintage, but a very nasty fake, even to the point where on the back it says gold plated, and the gold is wearing off, lol. But hey, I got it free from a client getting rid of the clutter because it no longer worked. I can't even find a look-a-like anywhere on the net, so it must be the epitome of fake.
Hi

This Chinese junk , as you said 6:42 does the same thing as the original Rolex .
