Buying A Used Rolex: An Examination Guide

This is a simple guide to help you determine if a rolex is a real or a fake. It relies on you physically examining the watch and looking out for the differences highlighted below. If you want to buy used rolex, this guide can ensure you get what you are paying for.

Tip #1 – Real rolex is heavy

A real rolex with a metal bracelet should feel heavy. In fact, it should feel more heavy than any watch you have try before. Simply hold the watch in your hands to see if it is heavy. A replica model will feel light. This is a clear signal that the watch might be a fake. For models that are used for diving purposes such as Submariner or other Oyster cased model, the watch itself should be heavy. That’s how it can sustain such intense underwater pressure. Hence, make sure that when you buy a used rolex, it should feel heavy, not light

Tip #2 – Real rolex uses crystal

A real rolex watch have a crystal transparent piece that enables people to see the dial face while protecting it. For other watches, they might use plastics. However, for real rolex watches, they use a sapphire-like crystal. This is a real easy thing to see. Don’t buy used rolex that looks like it uses cheap plastic crystals or thin glasses. Only buy used rolex that has a crystal piece.

Tip #3 — Real rolex has big date while a replica rolex has a small date

If you look at any rolex, there is likely to be a bubble-like date window. The reason for the bubble is to magnify the numerals and help users tell the date more clearly. This is something that all real rolex possesses. Be on the watch out for rolex that has crocked or unmagnified date number, be aware that it is likely to be a fake. Every rolex is perfectly made so a real rolex will not allow such imperfections to happen. Same thing is true with the numerals and arrow points on the dial. If they don’t look perfect, don’t buy that watch!

Tip #4 – Real rolex has smooth second hands

The second hand of a rolex gives you a very good way to tell if it is a real or a fake. Specifically, you need to watch the movement of the second hand closely. On a real Rolex (with a few exceptions you’re not likely to run into) the second hand rotates smoothly around the dial. On most rip offs, the second hand “ticks” second by second around the dial. Once you see that the movement of the second hand stutters, raise your alarm alert as it is strong indication that this is a fake rolex.

This brings me to the end of part one ofthis article. Watch out for part II as I continue to provide tips on buying used rolex
