0:50 The etching on the replica looks more like a proper Rolex crown logo.

It gets to the level where calling them a "clone" is indeed more adequate than "fake".

Question did you use a different light for the replica? If not then it would be safe to say the crystal has a coating that the camera can see because it's giving blue filter effect when light reflects back off of the watch face.

Scrolling through a few other videos, nothing compares to your video. The indicative arrows while you explain what to spot or compare with SBS image is another big thumbs up 👍

So, for the amount of microscopic differences between them, would you prefer to pay £500 for the SuperClone, Or £15, 000 for the genuine ?
Logic says you are paying £14, 500 for the name !
My friend in Australia has a genuine Rolex Submariner and recently contacted Rolex about replacing the clasp on the bracelet.
Even he was astonished when Rolex quoted him over Au $3000 for a new clasp ! That’s just the clasp, not the bracelet !
Don’t try to tell me that a stainless steel clasp @ $3k is not a rip off ! This is a simple clasp, not a movement …..
He could buy SIX super clones for the price of a gen clasp !
It kinda makes you understand how much Rolex and other luxury brands are ripping off customers, there is NO justification whatsoever for charging such outrageous prices, you’ve just seen for yourself how close these super clones are to the original.
Easy to see why there is a market for them

another banger from the wristcheck team 🙌

Its amazing how close they look, thanks for sharing, great video

Very informative & professional video I assume that all Rolex bracelet clip hooks in regards to the Submariner & new D43 Sea dweller have no welding at the clip hook base as one piece on the authentic Rolex submariner by soldering!

[razfan]

Awesome video! Keep'em coming, very educational.

I love the fake to real comparisons. MORE PLEASE

[MarcSherwood]

I feel that without having the refrence watch, those small differences would be hard to identity. For example, the sound of the bezel would be hard to identity being too high without the real deal to compare it to.

[ricardocampos]

i will say from what i've seen online, it seems like they are now spot welding the hook on the clasp mechanism, and have improved the rehaut significantly. it's still noticeable with a loupe or microscope but its nearly perfect. still no attempt to mimic a free sprung balance with the over coil or the inertia weights

[stingreen]

Thanks for the update. I now know what to improve.

[wristwatch-trader]

Great video on the subject, one of the best I've seen. I'm a watch seller myself, and these days I won't attempt to authenticate a watch "in the field." Example: A friend walks up to me at the poker table and wants my opinion on a piece - unless it's one of those obvious older fakes I'm not going to comment without getting it under a loupe. And to be sure I'm going to have to crack it open. Unless I'm missing something, the most obvious issue with the fake movement is it uses the standard 2892 type double regulator arm setup while the genuine has one newer style regulator arm.

[spacejaime]

The crown laser etching on the clasp on the replica is visually different from the authentic Rolex. Great comparison, thanks!

[MusicianGreg]

Exactly what I was looking for, very informative. Thanks for the effort put into this vid.

[juniortoledo]

Great video, the movement finsh, the inertia balance screws for the free sprung escapement rather than regulator pins are the main tell. I have yet to see a review of a replica out of a factory with these features.

[thomascatt]

Very well made and presented video. What I would have also liked to see, is what is the time-keeping accuracy of the replica, and an estimate of how long it's going to last. If these two parameters are comparable for both watches, then I'd say forget about the original with its minor optical differences.

[mariosandoval]

The sound that comes when you turn the wheel is so satisfying!

[thetruebatman]

I really like this guy’s style. Funny, not over the top.
