igrotum is the only replica factory that sells and manufactures their watches themselves also have original serial numbers. That's why they are the best
…but still crap!😂😂😂
We need to stop criminals like Ziarex from selling mega-clone replica watches because selling mega-clone replicas with the same serial number as the original watch is illegal.
This is a serious problem, we must react
Sold a few watches to dealers here in the UK as originals
Ziarex is trash. I bought one and broke after a week
bot
Do we? First, selling any unlicensed replica is illegal, regardless of serial number. Second, who cares? China has been knocking off product since the industrial age, and it isn't going to stop just because you take umbrage with one specific factory. Buyer beware: don't buy a fake being passed off for a real.
I hate it when people buy replicas, thinking they are original, and end up losing their money. Thats why mega-clone sellers like Ziarex need to be stopped.
Scam. Look at username. Not a single reply despite 1k likes? Bots. Be careful.
Someone in the government should do something about it.
CIA, hello!
CIA, hello!
Cancel them.
Tip 1, it's £4-500 or a few quid more not £10-20k!
Tip 2, you can get one.
Tip 3, the guy selling it isn't a douche bag
You speak truth.
More of a worry if it’s about 10% lower than it should be - being passed off as real as a scam
Those all sound like positive things to me!
Disagree with Tip 3…. Have you ever been in a Rolex AD?
@@theamateurguitarist6187 have you ever tried buying a Rolex in an AD?
9:33 the crown of my definitely original Batman felt like sand and I purchased it from Bucherer new in 2017, so I would say that’s not a good tell, especially if you buy a watch with 5-6 years of usage from the last service.
You got the Pepsi wrong. The real one is actually the one on the right and the fake on the left. It’s nuts that even the pros are starting to get confused now.
Great. I'll never be able to spot a fake Rolex.
Where can I find a fake one?😆
Neither will anyone else…

Amazing Mate, fakes are getting better day by day it's really horrifying. great job brother 👍❤👍
This video is actually counterproductive. You've just shown why folks should get a fake and save tons of money, with only the slightest of differences in real or fake. Makes sense NOT to buy real. Great post, moe!!
Why would you buy a fake? Just to flex? That’s really shallow. I didn’t know as much about watches and I thought maybe a fake would be alright. They look just as beautiful. But the craftsmanship isn’t there and it’s not special so why in the hell would you spend the money? I’d rather just buy a durable timex. But for the craftsmanship and value of a Real Rolex I would spend the money if I could
Because a really convincing fake from China will cost you around 500 bucks while The real thing will cost you several Grand. If you want a Rolex Daytona for example it would set you back 30 grand or more. While obviously everyone would prefer to have the real thing, a 500 dollar convincing replica is the next best option.You buy a Rolex not just as an investment but as a status symbol and Nobody at the bar or the club or at your office is going to know the difference between the replica and the real thing. To anyone else your 500 dollar watch is 30 grand. If you like the style and you want something flashy but don't have the money, a clone is your only option.
@@Salos1people only buy Rolex to flex. They are shallow.
@@Salos1 People buy real ones just to flex.
@@Salos1yes because spending 6 digits money on a watch is not flexing at all 🙄
Hi my model was 126610LN how ever when i open the caseback i can see the number stated at the caseback was 2360 i lil bit curious its authentic
If I went into the pub with a Daytona on, my mates would assume it was fake anyway!
…change your mates or work on your credibility 😂
never thought there'd be the day Watchfinder gets a BTF panda, vsf sub, cf Pepsi in one video
The sub is definitely not a VSF, the bezel scallops are too shallow, the numerals received the SpongeBob treatment and the Bracelet looks too god.
Probably an Noob V11
Its not even btf panda...
Better off buying a super clone instead of supporting all the flippers and grey dealers like WF….
Rep gang 💪
@@LD-bf1mior you could just buy a real watch that’s not a Rolex.
VF: thanks bro!
The pepsi red ceramic gmt is a tell, hence rolex are probably dropping it in steel, too expensive to get right.
I have replica Daytona Ice Blue..
Still works perfectly fine, I have had it for a couple of years now and I have no regrets buying it. When people ask me if it’s real. I’m honest about it and say it’s a replica, end of the day ..
It’s a watch .. most important thing about a watch is the time.
As long as the time works accurately
and you like the design which for me was the Daytona Ice Blue and like how it looks on your wrist, I personally think that’s all that truly matters.
I just wouldn’t ever recommend misleading people believing it’s real for the sake of the “successful status”
I got it because I like how it looks, As much as I would obviously prefer the real deal I rather spend that kind money on a car or holiday/vacation.
P.s
Just my honest opinion.
Here's another scenario. ONE of these you can buy. The other you have to wait three years and spend $20,000. The other one is under $1000.
Exactly, the power of Rolex. But they've spend 100's of millions in ad's, sponsorship, endorsements for 70 years in making millions it's worth it
And then there are hundreds of other watch manufacturers that make real watches for under 1000 that are easy to get.
I don’t get why everybody is obsessed with Rolex. They make ugly boring watches. Buying a fake one make’s literally no sense.
Where is the best website to buy a replica ?
If those making fakes are getting better, does it mean they have the skills of Rolex watchmakers? Is the premium or the original worth it. Makes you wonder.
Those replica manufacturers definitely stepped up their game when the advice nowadays is to search for rough edges 😂
Good luck if the watch isn’t brand new also. Dust around the cyclops? Whoops that’s just pocket lint
My opinion to this. The last 3 years I was saving money for an Explorer I or maybe a decent DJ with fluted bezel. While saving money I found the reddit you all know. Then my idea was to buy a gen and the same one as a rep (in case I get robbed). Now I have the money for both. But over all this time I lost the need to own a Rolex :-/ I'm watching your videos and hope there will be the real thing, that looks and feels great and it's not a Rolex. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my Longines Master Collection watch :-) People notice, that it's highly polished, but dont't know what they are looking at xD I think that's much more understatement :-)
Tip for next time: please keep the fake and real one on the same side with each comparison. I’m only a minute into the video, and you’re already switching the sides. The video would be easier to follow is the fake was shown on the same side of the screen in every comparison
I think that was on purpose, to drive in the point that it's hard to tell...
Sorry for my english, there is an error in an image when you put the diferences in the inscripción on top of six , you change real and fake 1:38 time Rolex Submariner
Good video
what i understood is, basically if you dont have one original to compare side by side impossible to understand fake or not :) very good copy of rolex watches in video i saw. thanks for informative and helpful video
This Clean Factory Panda is my daily. It's an amazing timepiece!
@TheRepGenMen I’ve heard the same thing but I was wondering if there are any flaws that can distinguish rep from gen
What's the website address to check the Rolex serial number?
Excellent comparison - not worth buying original is B.S. I'd like to add that the edges of the Coronet on the dial are supposed to be smooth and rounded, not sharp. It was shown in this video but not mentioned, if I recall it correctly.
Thank you for the very REAL work!
I find it funny how a real 1:1 super clone is never used in these videos. They always use horrible fakes.
Vsf, Cf, or even Bpf. But nope, just shitters off Chinatime
So, what is a 1:1 super clone ? Guide us
@parist5490 There is a fantastic thing called Google. You should try it.
Truth is the exteriors of some counterfeits are so good now it pretty much takes a look at the movement to tell.
At 50 seconds in look at where the bracelet meets the case.
Rep people always say that issue has been fixed but it’s always perfect on a real Rolex and fakes usually have an enormous gap.
I know it's not the message of the video but it's soo tempting to buy fakes. 99% of people can't tell plus you don't have to spend 10k plus...or deal with rolex waiting lists
There's no reasons not to.
Exactly! Those examples of fakes looked reeeeally good.
@@Stinger430 especially when you realize all these photos you look at are so zoomed in with macro lenses and what not, when it's on the wrist all these small details are thrown off the window.
buying a watch so that other people will notice is not a good reason to buy that watch.
Hey @grant0317
It's not so other people see it..more about telling the difference between the fake and genuine is so difficult now
But it makes you question the pricing of a watch. If you can't really tell the difference unless it's under a microscope and the quality is almost identical..£500 vs £15000...
2:16 you got the crystal etching wrong. The one on the left (more detailed and more visible) is the fake, the one on the right (more like a blob of dots) is the real one
In the 90ies and early 00s there were so many fake Rolexes around that I still assume it's a fake whenever I see a 'Rolex' or other watch that supposedly costs as much as my car.
The fake one looks great to me. I also don’t have an issue with fake boobs.
Ah ok. So you are keen to pay Rolex money for a fake?
Have you ever worn fake boots? Did they feel as good or last as long as the real ones?
Huh? They're about $600 for the best ones.@@stupidocanerosa
@@Jake-bt3fcthey all gonna drop who cares😂
Point of fake watch is to be cheap. Why would anyone pay the full price?
Top tip: look at the balance and escapement in the movement. Even the best clones still use a standard swiss lever escapement. In the case of a Rolex, look for weights on the balance wheel and the lack of regulator level on the balance. In Omega's case, the co-axial movements will also have weight on the wheel itself and lack a regulator lever, but also look for a second escapement wheel and a pallet fork with 3 prongs instead of two. This is the only way to be absolutely sure the watch is real, particularly if you do not have a genuine model to directly compare.
All of the other tips, while all true, will be very difficult to ascertain on a high end enough replica, and will ultimately lead to an informed guess, rather than a definitive answer. If the seller won't let you inspect the movement on a used or grey market watch, that is already a massive red flag.
Yup that's the first thing I look for when the movement is exposed. (The balance)
You might be right but you cant chest yourself like you can ppl . If your a person who has self integrity youd know deep down it wasn't the real thing and it just doesnt hold the same value in the inside as it would if it was actually real. Thats just how I feel about it .
@@krucial88 And that is... fine... a sentient I happen to agree with, generally. But my comment had nothing to do with whether or not you should get a replica, let alone was it an endorsement for one. I merely pointed out the best way to spot a fake, which is useful primarily when buying a real one.
anyone recognize whether these are top tier reps or not? Clean factory? just curious how close the best get
Unscrewing the crown, winding and changing the time is quick giveaway
One time, I bought a fake Invicta, so embarrassing.
You bought a better invicta lol
how does that happen?
Ahahahaha!
At least it wasn't a fake Daniel Wellington
I just got into watches and bought myself an Invicta Pro Diver, I liked. I wont buy a fake Rolex but I liked the design, so the interior is made with a seiko movement and for my first automatic watch I don't think I did a bad choice.
Why not just confirm the serial number on the caseback?
I didn't expect my gussl watch to look so good. There is no doubt that it is worth it.
1:40 mistake. Orig-left, Fake -right side
The left is fake cause it’s stamped. You can tell right is real cause it’s etched.
1:40 you mixed fake and real. Real one should be left.
Do those super fake watches come with replica boxes and papers?
just be practical. Buy Seiko mods with Seiko on the dial for the fraction of the price and put rest of your savings into SP 500 and use your phone to tell time if movement is lagging. 😂😂😂😅😅😅
While you're being practical, make sure you buy the cheapest android phone they offer (iPhones are too expensive), and keep it until they stop supporting it. Buy only the lowest tier data plan that allows you to check stocks. Make sure you buy the cheapest 20 year old Honda Civic on craigslist, or better yet, take public transit. Cancel any and all entertainment subscriptions you have, because you should be using anytime not working or sleeping to hustle some side gigs, or exercise. Also, ditch the Seiko plan, and just buy a ten dollar Casio F91-W. Then, take all that money you saved, and diversify a few investments, focusing on the SP 500 and high yield CDs...
...Then, after you have gloriously maximized your ROI on the money you earned, go out with a friend, to the cheapest restaurant you can possibly find, during an early bird special, and watch them fall asleep while you talk about how smart you are with money, and then realize you literally have nothing else to talk about because you don't do anything fun ;)
There are rumors that igrotum has the Rolex database of serial numbers and sells replicas with the same serial numbers as the originals
It's really frustrating you keep switching the fake and real to different sides
If it takes that much effort to tell the difference between a 500 and a 7000+ watch, I'll opt for the fake.
In particular if the fake is easily obtainable and you dont have to beg the Rolex A.D.
The grey market is everything but reliable, recent antics with several "UA-cam grey market dealers" shows that some of the the used timepieces are sold as real, but are fake.
😂😂😂 you fool... at first you say you'll go for fakes, than stating the grey market is full of them, so better to stay away from it... 😂😂😂
You are part of the problem and you dont know it😂😂
Nobody gets their watch serviced more than a fake watch collector, lol.
They’re constantly talking about servicing and broken clones on the forums.
Well buy the fake for hundreds of pounds and when you are tired of it you will find you have lost nearly all the money as they are literally worthless, so in the end more expensive than a real watch. And you can get a vintage watch with GREAT quality for what a good copy of a Rolex cost. Not a vintage Rolex but maybe even an Omega of equivalent quality, and that watch will probably just increase in value… I am pretty sure that 99% of everyone that buy a fake Rolex will end of getting disappointed one way or another.
@@truxton1000 Yess, absolutely yess. The fake one will gain the forget-about-it spot, well hidden in the back of the farthest drawer. Among other delusional projects. It's written.
Even when starting with a fake one, sooner or later that same creepy voice will whisper to the ear "buy another watch!" but this time you want to do things properly, so... welcome Seiko 5! And the fake Rolex disappear instantly, realising that it was the dumbest choice possible in horology. A Seiko worth a couple of hundreds will always be a better choice than any fake Rolex.
@@truxton1000 I dont buy the watches for the value. I buy them because I like them. Technically the Rolex is not necessarily better, as all the parts except the adjust are interchangeable. Let me be clear, I would buy the original .... if they would let me. I'm not going to be treated like shit again by a Rolex AD and I'm not going to gamble going grey market, that is flooded by fakes. FYI, currently globally 4 in 5 Rolexes are fake. So yes a fake it'll be and no one is able to tell. By the way a Rolex 5 year service will cost you more than a super clone, which I'll happily service myself. So if you are in it for the money, this is way more cost effective. With the current decline you probably find that you are lucky if you even get 70% of the purchase price after 5 years. So I dare to say that buying a clone lower end tier Rolex will be more profitable.
i was tempted to buy a fake, most people can't tell and no one is likely to ask for your watch to inspect. if you have enough money to buy genuine then who would think your watch was fake? but the thing is i would, i would fking know! so i bought mine from watchfinder so i could as much as possible, be sure it was genuine. i'd tried for years to buy from an AD but man they're a nightmare, i'll never even try and buy from an rolex AD, i just don' thave the patience. so i'm then stuck buying second hand and that's a nightmare of very good fakes which i think i could likely spot now but i would never be 100% totally sure i'd spotted correctly so for me best to buy from somewhere like watchfinder
The real one is the one that's overpriced
That rep is from H8Z10
What's the brand of fakes in the video? They seem like mid tier fakes. There are higher end fakes without those defects...
Higher? Tell us then
@1:59 you have the fake and real GMT’s mixed up! Just saying

A QR in the back should fix the problem
Where can I get the fake? Asking for a friend.

Reptime subreddit for these super clones
The easiest way to tell, is to use a timegrapher to test the accuracy and health of the movement, without even opening the case back. Now, the most frightening part is that you would be SHOCKED at how good these replicas are! For the price that you pay for a real one, you got to ask yourself a question: Am I getting a 25 times better watch?...... I don't think so.
0:39 As soon as you look at it you can see the fonts at the top are totally wrong. That bold font look gives it away immediately. I’m sure winding the movement will sound like total scratchy crap too.
The funny thing is that even on GMT Rolex hands, the smudged or worn-looking black and red paints are not that unusual, and overall quality of Exp 1 even more so. 5000 pc/Swiss working hour from a robot factory: guess if there is 500 QC people at the end, or not? 😆
Great video. I really do not get fakes. That said, a sadly no longer with us friend of mine, gave me a superfake Montblanc. I have tasked myself with trying to find a genuine watch any tips?
I do not know the model it has three buttons an internal bezel adgusted from a winder on the top left. Black face with three smaller dials.the date is one of these dials
I have tried to find an archive site or back catalogue. No luck so far.
You don't get it? £500 Vs £15000 and you need a macro lens and the £15k original to spot it?
What don't you get?
You should probably broaden your mindset a little bit. Desperation often has nothing to do with it. And they aren't pretending at all. @@Lee-pf2uv

Yes! this is the video I was hoping for. Sorry for the negative comment before. Cheers! DVD:)
So really there barely is any difference between the real and fake Rolex so why people spend money on the real ones? As an investment? I’d say buy gold instead or something
I'm sorry and know I am going to get flamed for this. I was willed an authentic Daytona but, with all that is going on, there is NO way I am wearing it in public. I know that that defeats the whole joy of wearing a nice watch. Hence, I bought a clone. That way, if something happens oh well. No watch is worth having a confrontation over. And just to be clear, in the US, owning a replica watch is not illegal. Selling one is, but not owning one.
I want a clone too. Heck it's our lives. Do what we want lol
Little details differences vs huge price difference,And annoying AD game. I chose fake one. At least I can get what I want. At least mega clone sellers are more honest than Rolex ADs. Rolex has to stop manipulating people.
Great now how do you spot a fake seiko..
Can somebody recommend me green watches?

The fake one looks great and who in the hell about to do a autopsy on a damn watch
Imagine getting mugged and stabbed for a fake Rolex? Almost Shakespearian.
Buy the seller, not the watch
Precisely. Nobody with the slightest amount of common sensewho wants the real article should ever end up with a fake.
Nah u still need to verify the watch .
Forgetting one thing. A significant amount of Rolex owners know NOTHING about watches.
Tells on the wrist are nigh on impossible anyway with a good replica.
That was a really poor fake Daytona.
Rolex is to expensive for me. And a fake Rolex is to fake for me.
So Seiko watches it is.
A $500 Seiko is much more reliable than a $500 fake.
The fakes are literally just polished turds. They’re unreliable cheap watches that have been nicely finished.
You'll never be able to spot a fake rolex without: #1 a GENUINNE one next to it. #2 an expensive Camera that can MACRO SHOT.
People do it on /r/reptime constantly. They usually even know what factory in China it came from.
Or a loupe
You’re not helping your cause when the fakes are so close to real and 1/100th the price and are available.
Buy from an AD at a fair price. The crown etching on the glass, now looks better on most fakes and they use the harder, more scratch resistant, industry standard steel.😂
The top 4 or 5 Chinese factories now use 904L steel.
The glass etching on the genuine ones is supposed to look like that. It’s done at many many layers.
@@Vusseyv881 Yes but it looks shabby and needs to be bought up to modern standards of resolution. Something the fakers are prepaied to do but Rollex keep up the glorious tradition of staying in the past.
Opening the case back void your warranty? Yeah, no. That's not how it works.

As someone who spent over a decade as a typesetter, it’s not helpful that Rolex typesetters are terrible at kerning! The inter-character spacing is all over the place.
Also, if you are going to only sell watches to the grey market to falsely inflate perceived values, then you deserve every super clone that is bought after the terrible customer service provided.
The real one has a speck of dust of the crown and the fake doesn’t 😅 8:41
I have found the best way is just to wind it. The fakes can never recreate how smooth the original is.
If almost exact copies are possible… does that not show what a rip off the real ones are ?
Every Shelby cobra you’ve ever seen driving on the road was a fake kit car. That doesn’t make a real one less valuable.
Yeah but the real one says "Rolex" on it! Ah, wait...
You should stop promoting clones. Just bought a Deep Blue 300 meter automatic with tritium for $350.
igrotum is the best factory for replicas
I think it's hilarious we still think it's worth spending 10k on a watch that can be copied so well you need to go to macro to see a difference. I've owned a Rolex and have multiple Tudor's and Omega's so still buy into the BS, and sucked in by the ad's, but I think we're being bummed up the rear. There's a great vid on YT with Georges Kern telling you exactly how he does it at some shareholders meeting. Look, see that tiny screw on the pallet fork, there should be 3, Zzzzzzz. If someone made a Porsche 911 for 10K that looked the same, drove the same, smelt the same, felt the same, but a couple of pipes around the engine were routed differently, Id buy it. We're all being hypnotised in to believing the real one's worth 20 x more. NO!
This comparison with Porsche is so incredible because its true. I was with couple of my friends few days ago on poker night and 3 of them had rolexes and one had tudor and omega. All of them are genuine. I am the poorest one from the squad but not that poor that i coudlnt afford a sub if i really wanted to. I was wearing a 100usd submariner replica but bit the worst one. They coudlnt say it was a fake or anything. Incredible, i can just imagine how higher end replicas would look even better.
@@trollololol69 i coudlnt care less... just as same as those real companies dont care about me nor should they.

How to avoid getting stung? Don't buy a real Rolex, just opt for a fake one.
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of Their nkuwan timepieces are of exceptional quality.
As long as it tells the correct time who cares
I want to buy this fake one, cause my shop didn’t get a Daytona for me. So I wanna a fake who is getting easily
Daytonas are ugly as shit. The only reason people buy them is because Rolex makes them, so why get one not made by Rolex?
There’s a million cool chronographs you can buy that look better than a Daytona, lol.
Sooo just buy the fake one. Got it
You know, If they just stopped pretending to make Rolex watches and made decent, own-brand watches, they'd probably make pretty good money. Make some decent designs, sell them at cost + 25% and a lot of people would get those. Not everyone can afford even used Rolexes.
You just convinced me to buy a replica. The microscopic differences don't justify an extra $9500. Not even close.
It does, the price you pay for an expensive watch is in the details, specially the movement but also everything else. Anyone that has actually used a fake watch as a daily watch for a year or two can confirm that they often deteriorate considerably, despite what they look like brand new.
Great idea, your replica will lose you money and could land you in jail if you're not disclosing it when trying to sell, while the real Rolex could potentially increase in value, making you money instead. Big brain move, but hey, whatever makes you feel more important. lol
@@cy9nvs I agree 100%, there are many reasons for not getting these fakes, the reasons you mention is not to be ignored. Personally the biggest reasons for me is that I feel disappointment when I look at any fake watch, plus the economic loss that comes with it at the very good fakes will cost a lot of money and you will never get even close to what you paid back when you sell. There are literally millions of second watches for sale in the region of $200-1000, many VERY attractive in terms of both quality and appearance, why on earth pay that kind of money for something which is fake??
But you’ll know it’s a cheap fake.
@@Vusseyv881 Totally, so many people talk about “no one will know”?? But the owner will of course know, isn’t that the main problem? Personally I wear a watch because it makes ME feel good that it’s a real and authentic watch whatever it is, to know it’s fake will destroy the experience. Maybe psychopaths don’t really care…
