2. INTRODUCTIONGenuine brand watches can cost anything from 500.00 to100,000.00, as most people cannot afford the real thing a
muchcheaper alternative is to buy a replica.Replica watches are, quite simply, imitations of the moreexpensive brand named watches, at a mere
fraction of the price.These imitations have the same general look, feel and ability, ata much more acceptable price.The quality of a replica can vary
depending on the cost. A20.00 replica would obviously be of a far better quality than areplica costing 400.00 and much easier to identify.This
guide is mainly based on Rolex wrist watches as they carrythe largest number of replicas in the market place. Some Omegaexamples are also
included.This guide will show you how to avoid the replicas, as it statesthis is a guide and should be used for that purpose only. If youare unsure of a
watches authenticity then dont buy it. The onlyway to be 110% sure its not a replica is to be direct from aRolex dealer. The Rolex Guide 2004. The

5. REQUIREMENTS BOX & PAPERWORKIn order to consider purchasing a Rolex watch I wouldrecommend that it MUST have accompanying
paperwork and amatching box. If the watch does not have the box and paperworkI would personally not buy it. Box & Paperwork Example The
Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 5No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold
without the authors permission
6. Box All watches when purchased come with a box. If you are spending a large amount of money on a watch then you usually keep the box. The
box will usually be of a high standard either leather bound or wooden as shown in the below example. Most expensive watches have an inner better
quality box with a cardboard outer box. Both the inner and outer boxes will usually have a symbol and mark relating to the watch. Some of the better
quality replicas come with box and paperwork, the font quality on the replicas will be of a poor quality and can be worn or blurred. A watch without
its box can lose upto 30% of its value, it is therefore wise for the owner to keep it safe. If the watch does not have a box then it probably is a fake.

The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
7. Paperwork All watches when purchased have paperwork. Where the paperwork refers to reference numbers and models these should be
confirmed to match with the physical watch. Paperwork can be in the form of the following:- A warranty card This card holds reference numbers and
purchase dates. The reference numbers should match the reference found on either the back of the watch or strap. Note that not all watches carry
reference numbers. A Leather/Plastic documents wallet The wallet holds all the paperwork relating to the watch. It is usually marked with the

watchmakers stamp and is in the same colour as the box. An Operating Instructions Booklet This contains specific details about the watch such as
changing the time and date. The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 7No Part of The Rolex Guide
may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
8. A Service Centre Booklet Most top brand watches have a service centre guide which shows you lists of agents throughout the world. A Receipt
This will show when and where the watch was purchased; also it will show you exactly how much was paid for the watch. A Seal (Rolex) All Rolex
watches carry a Red Seal. Note the bright coloured cotton and frayed ends on the replica. On some occasions a green seal is also attached. The Rolex

10. REPLICA SPOTTINGThe OriginA Swiss based company would not sell a watch that is made inIndonesia, so if you notice that the watchs origin
doesnt matchthe origin of the company, then the chances are the watch is afake.The BandThe edge on a genuine watch will have a smooth edge; this
isbecause the band was made out of three pieces of metal. Onerolled piece with two outer edges.With most cheap watches each link is made of a
single piece ofmetal, which is rolled to create the link. This is easy spotted asthe edge of each link is rolled like a Swiss Role and has a poorquality
finish. Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 10No Part of The Rolex Guide may be

11. The BezelThe Bezel if moved should line up exactly with the minutemarkers on the dial. On a genuine both markers will line upperfect. Genuine

or resold without the authors permission
12. The Second HandAll Rolex watches will have a sweeping second hand. If thesecond hand tick tocks then it is definitely a copy.The Rolex
second hand should reach the second markers, if it isshort by 2-3mm then it is a replica, the illuminated circle on thesecond hand should hit the top of
the 12 oclock triangle exactly.On most replica watches when the stem is pulled out, the secondhand continues to move. On a genuine watch the
second handshould stop once the stem is pulled out. Genuine Replica Genuine The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with
Rolex or Rolex USA. 12No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
13. Minute HandGenuine Rolex Yacht-Master models feature a "minute" hand,which is considerably thicker than those on other Rolex sportsmodels.
However, to save money, counterfeiters will often usethe same hands found on the Submariner. This can be easilyidentified when viewed side-by-side
(as shown in the examplebelow). Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 13No
Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
14. Daytona HandsCounterfeiters will often use hands which are of the wrong sizeand/or shape. In the example shown below, the genuine
Daytonafeatures a "minute" hand which reaches all the way to the outer"hash" marks. However, the counterfeit model shown featuresmuch shorter
hands. This is often the case because counterfeitersuse whatever stock of parts they have available, which is usuallywhatever is the cheapest.You will
also note that the "shape" of the hands on thecounterfeit is incorrect. modern Daytona models feature handswhich are "rounded" on the tips. Again,
counterfeiters will oftenuse whatever hands they have available, and in this case theyhave used hands from a Day-Date model, which are flat on
thetip. The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 14No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced
or resold without the authors permission
15. Daytona RegistersGenuine Rolex Daytona models feature mini-registers on thedial which perform Chronograph "stop watch" functions
(i.e.elapsed hours and minutes). It is also worth mentioning that thelarge "sweep" hand on the dial is also part of the stop watchfunction, and is not
the primary second hand-- the second handfor the watch is the small 20/40/60 register.However, counterfeit models will rarely perform
thesefunctions, but rather will be used for "day of week", "date", and"24-hour time". (Please Note: not all counterfeit models will be"printed" with
these incorrect functions, but their operationswill still be incorrect.)Furthermore, the size and position of these mini registers willoften be incorrect on
counterfeits. As shown in the examplebelow, the counterfeit model features much smaller registerswhich are positioned too far inward on the dial,
while thegenuine Daytona features registers which are positioned muchfarther outward--almost touching the 3-6-9 hour markers. Genuine Replica

16. The Crystal Glass/ Micro Etched CrystalBrand new for 2002, Rolex has started micro-etching a tiny"coronet" (or crown) logo into the crystal, at
the 6 oclockposition. This mark is quite small, so it is difficult to see withthe naked eye. However, when viewed under a loupe, the faintoutline can be
distinguished, as seen in the examples below. Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA.
16No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
17. Please Note: Rolex has just started phasing-in this micro-etchingprocess and, to date, not all models have the etching. It isbelieved that the
etching should appear on most (if not all) newmodels produced by the end of 2003, or early 2004. Genuine ReplicaYou will notice that the fake
etching is "similar" to that in thegenuine example, the biggest difference being that the "balls" onthe tips of the fake are too small. The etching also is
not precise. The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 17No Part of The Rolex Guide may be
reproduced or resold without the authors permission
18. Case Reference NumberProbably the most accurate way to identify a genuine/counterfeitRolex watch is by locating the Serial and Case
ReferenceNumbers. These special identification numbers are engraved onthe side of the case, located between the lugs (as shown in thebelow
example). These reference numbers should match withthe paperwork supplied with the watch.As you can see in the examples below, the engraving
betweenthe lugs of a genuine Rolex feature very fine lines, whichactually catch the light similar to that of a diamond cut edge.However, (some)
counterfeits will feature a sandy (acid) etchedappearance, as seen in the example below. Furthermore, thespacing on these numbers is often too close
together. It is worthmentioning that counterfeiters frequently use the SAMEnumbers on their watches. Thus, the example shown above:"R863698" is
seen quite often, and is a pretty good sign of afake. Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or

19. A Brief Explanation of the Rolex Serial Numbering SystemIn 1927, Rolex began issuing every Rolex Oyster case a uniqueserial number to
distinguish them from one another. Around1953, the numbers reached the 999,999 mark, at which timeRolex decided against adding a 7th digit, thus
continuing into the"millions"--Instead, they started the sequence aver at100,001.Around this ame time, Rolex had initiated another datingsystem-They stamped the inside of the case back with a codeconsisting of a Roman numeral and two numbers. The Romannumerals were I, II, III, IV, which
represented which quarter ofthe year the watch was produced. The numbers simplyrepresented the two-digit year in which the watch was
produced.Therefore, the code III 53 would represent the 3rd quarter (i.e.July-September) of 1953--this code continued until around1970.In the early
1960s, Rolex once again reached the 999,999 mark,but this time added a 7th digit and continued until mid 1987,when the numbering reached
9,999,999. At this time, Rolexelected to start numbering with a letter prefix (e.g. R000001).The system started with the letter "R", which was
thensubsequently followed by L-E-X. Thus spellingout the word "ROLEX" with the "O" being omitted, to helpavert any possible confusion with the
number "0". Thissequence continued through November 1991, when a newnumbering system was introduced utilizing the letters N, C andS, which
took them through 1993. In 1994, Rolex started yetanother sequence with the letters: W, T and U, then A, P, and Kin subsequent years. The Rolex

the authors permission
20. To add to the confusion, many of these prefixes have runconcurrently over the past few years, giving the appearance of arandom numbering
system. Therefore, only Rolex knowsexactly when any particular watch was made and they arenttalking.The following list is comprised of known
serial numbers for theyears listed. By checking a particular serial number against thislist you should be able to date a watch with reasonable
accuracy.However, it is no guarantee as to when your watch was shippedfrom the factory.Click below or enter the below address into your Internet

21. The Font.The fonts used for the numbers should align exactly with thesecond hand as it passes over them. The numbers in the datebubble should
be exactly in the centre of the magnified Cyclops.On virtually all replicas the date will either be high or low in thedate window. Genuine ReplicaThe
Number 4.On a genuine Rolex the inside of the number 4 will be formed of4 small edges. If you look closely at the number 4 and see fourdistinct
edges you are looking at a replica. Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 21No

22. The Date Bubble/CyclopsThe Cyclops on a genuine Rolex watch will be magnified by2.5. A replica will have either no magnification or a very
smallamount of magnification. On a genuine the date shouldpractically fill up the Cyclops.The Cyclops will also have a sharp edge where the
Cyclopsmeets the crystal. This is hard to see with the naked eye but canbe felt quite easily by running your fingers around the Cyclops. Genuine

or resold without the authors permission
23. The Crown/WinderThe crown on an expensive watch such as a Rolex will be madeout of a single piece of metal. On a fake watch the logo that
isplaced on the crown is glued on after the watch is made. Thesmall glued seem can be seen when using an eyeglass. Thecrown will also have three
small dots or a line as shown in thepicture. Genuine Replica Genuine The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or

24. Rolex models featuring the Triplock crown (i.e. Submariner,Sea-Dweller and Daytona) utilize an extra seal within thethreads of the winding
crowns tube. This gasket resembles ablack o-ring and can be visible when the winding crown isunscrewed fully. As shown in the example above,
(most)counterfeit models will not feature this o-ring seal, but ratherwill have basic screw-down threads. It is worth mentioning thatsome new
counterfeits will feature a "similar" looking rubberseal, but upon closer examination you will see that it is merelycosmetic, and is not functional.

25. The PinsThe pins holding the strap to the watch on a genuine will bethreaded. If you look through an eyeglass at the end of the pinyou should see
a small slot for a fine flat head screwdriver. Genuine Replica Logo The band on a genuine Rolex will always have the Rolex logo.The absence of this
logo is a dead give away the watch band is a replica. Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or
Rolex USA. 25No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
26. The Case BackAn authentic Rolex will have a screw down back with exactly144 small teeth. You can only open a Rolex case with a specialRolex
tool.Reference Numbers will be etched in the positions as indicatedabove by a red circle. If you see no reference numbers then thewatch is a fake.To
date Rolex have never made a watch with a clear or seethrough back. This is also known as a skeleton back whichallows you to view the movement.
These clear back watches area common Rolex fake. Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex
USA. 26No Part of The Rolex Guide may be reproduced or resold without the authors permission
27. Rolex watches do not have engraved backs. Genuine Rolexwatches will have either a smooth case back or a smooth caseback with a hologram
showing a reference number. ReplicaHologramsThis usually is found on the reverse of the watch. GenuineRolex watches are shipped direct from the
factory with ahologram showing the makers stamp or symbol and then amodel reference number.On a fake watch the number is written on after the
Hologram iscreated. As the numbers are placed on after the hologram isproduced you often see on the replicas numbers have wornaway. Genuine

28. This sticker features the trademarked Rolex "crown" positionedabove the watchs case reference number. The hologram can beeasily identified by
viewing it from different angles, thuscausing the background pattern to change.However, "most" counterfeit stickers are not holograms at all,but
rather simply a repetitious "Rolex" pattern, which does notchange in appearance when viewed from different angles.Even if the watch has an
authentic hologram you should still becautious as holograms are available to purchase over theinternet.It is worth mentioning that the genuine Rolex
hologram stickersdid not feature the "crown logo" as a part of the hologram until(around) 2002, when the sticker was redesigned. At that time,the
Reference number was also changed from gold lettering toblack, as it is currently. Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is

29. TextAll text found on either the watch or box should be crisp andclear. Replica items will never have the same quality as theoriginal.See in the
below example how the font is completely wrong onthe replica. Note the extra thickness of the words Rolex and alsothe pin prick holes in the
crown.The lines of the crown are also not crisp. Genuine Replica The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex

37. The replica companies sometimes completely mix up names andfeatures from completely different models, occasionally makingup very odd or
nonsensical watches.The below Omega Seamaster has many problems. At firstglance it looks fine but the face of the watch for this particularmodel
should have two extra dials. You can see we have thebuttons for the dials but no dials.The date within the Cyclops bubble is not aligned correctly.The
bezel of the whole watch does not align up with hands. Omega SeamasterThe below watch is Speedmaster Chronograph except onceagain this watch
has no dials or buttons.The wording on the dial mentions Seamaster but the watch is aChronograph. Omega Chronograph The Rolex Guide 2004.

38. Below is the Omega Seamaster Pro James Bond Watch. It has aGMT hand, which tells the time in more than one occasion. Thiswatch is not
supposed to have this feature. On the fake watchbelow it does not even move.The watch itself is labelled with the name Ocean Master. Omegadoes
not produce this model. Omega Seamaster James Bond ProThe Omega Speedmaster below is a scramble of watch bits. Thebracelet, case and hands
are Speedmaster style. Extra GMThand like off of a Flight master. Divers rating and second handof a Seamaster Professional. The most obvious is

39. A common giveaway on fakes Omega watches is that the mainpart of their watch casings (excluding the bezel, crystal, andback) are often
noticeably thicker than the real thing. The fakescan be as much as twice as thick and the real models they aretrying to resemble. Also notice that
because the cases are somuch thicker, that the lugs that hold the bracelet or strap have tocurve much more than on the real ones to compensate for
theadded thickness. Original ReplicaAnother major characteristic of authentic watches is extremeattention to detail. Genuine Swiss watches dont
leave obviousgaps, crowd or otherwise poorly space or centre dial markings,have useless or non-working buttons or markings, or forget toinclude
required labelling.Omega Seamaster with the display back showing the watch is half hollow The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not

40. Quick giveaway that the above is a fake: it doesnt say "SwissMade" on the dial. Also notice the same scales are inanelyduplicated on the dial and

41. GENUINE OMEGA WATCHESOmega ConstellationGenerally considered to be Omegas flagship line. Starting in the1990s, the Constellation
line adopted the highly contemporarylook originated by the Constellation "Manhattan" in the 1980sand is now Omegas "style flagship" line.Omega
DeVilleOmegas traditional dress watch line. After the Constellationseries changed focus to a style flagship line, the DeVille serieshas become the
horology flagship line.The current DeVille line is divided into several series: theDeVille Coaxial, DeVille Prestige, DeVille Symbol and
DeVilleClassic. Of these, the Coaxial is the newest, featuring theDaniels Coaxial Escapement--the most significant advancementin mechanical
wristwatch technology in many decades.The remaining series of DeVille models mostly use the samemovements used across most OMEGA model
lines. Thedifferentiation between these DeVille series are the case andbracelet styles. The "Symbol" derived its name from the firstmodels in this
design bearing art symbols--such as the orientalYin-Yang--on their dials.Very few watches in this series bear the DeVille name on theirdials. The
DeVille line keeps to very clean, classic designs. So The Rolex Guide 2004. The Rolex Guide 2004 is not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex USA. 41No

42. dial labelling is normally kept to an absolute minimum of one ortwo lines of descriptive text. The DeVille Coaxial LimitedEdition is the one
notable exception. OMEGA broke from theirnormal tasteful conservatism by issuing the initial coaxialmodels with its dial cluttered with four lines of
descriptive text,including one over the OMEGA logo and name.Omega SpeedmasterOriginated in the late 1950s, the Speedmaster line ofchronograph

44. SOURCES OF INFORMATIONThere are many sources available to you for finding outinformation about watches. The largest being the
Internet.I would advice before purchasing a watch take the time to studywatches in jewellers.Pick up as many brochures as possible and have a close
look atsome of the watches available, try them on and get a feel for theoriginals. The jeweller wont mind if he thinks he is getting asale.Study the
prices of old and new models, make notes and askquestions!The best link I have found on the Internet is shown below. Itgives retail and second hand
prices.http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/An excellent source to view the latest replica watches is shownbelow. This site gives excellent quality close up
