We will take a closer look at the small details of authentic watches: the back case, interior, lugs, bracelet, and mechanism.<\/p>\n<h3>Identifying Genuine Rolex Watches<\/h3>\n<p>When you disassemble a Rolex and open the back case, you will notice the following differences between fake and authentic watches:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Back Case Cover<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A real Rolex has a blank back case cover, while fakes can hold a stamped, embossed, or engraved logo or other pieces of writing, such as \u201cMade in Switzerland\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1-Fake-IMG_0003-copy.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2056\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1-Original-IMG_0005-copy-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"1 - Original IMG_0005 copy copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2057\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1-Fake-IMG_0003-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"1 - Fake IMG_0003 copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Inside of the Back Case Cover<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A real Rolex has engraved on the internal side of the case cover; it is usually in the following order, as you can see on the photo:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Rolex (engraved)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Geneva (engraved)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Switzerland (engraved)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Case Material (stamped)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Rolex Logo (engraved)<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Case Model # (engraved)<\/p>\n<p>After \u201cSwitzerland\u201d, the case material is written, and can be, as seen in this case, stainless steel. Engraved below the material are the logo and the model number. Any Rolex missing one or more of these attributes or features a different type of writing (engraved or stamped), then there is a high possibility that it is a fake.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2033\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2-Original-IMG_0004-copy-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"2 - Original IMG_0004 copy copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2061\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2-Fake-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"2 - Fake\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- The Lugs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Between the lugs at 6:00 o\u2019clock, you can clearly see engraved Original (or Orig.) Rolex Design and the model number. In the fake ones, however, there is usually no engraving, a wrong model number, or a different font.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2062\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-Original-Final-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"3 - Original Final\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-Fake-IMG_0023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2034\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/3-Fake-IMG_0023-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"3 - Fake IMG_0023\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>4- Embossed Crown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The crown in an original Rolex is just right in size, not too big and too small. The embossed design the crown is clear with correct detailing at the edges and a uniform height, followed by a line under the crown.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a fake features a crown with a much lower quality, with lack of symmetry, inaccurate embossing, and with three dots below the crown instead of a line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/4-Original-IMG_0024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2037\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/4-Original-IMG_0024-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"4 - Original IMG_0024\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/4-Fake-IMG_0022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2036\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/4-Fake-IMG_0022-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"4 - Fake IMG_0022\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>5- Bracelet Link<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The link that joins the bracelet to the lugs should be robust and strong with clear-cut edges to fit perfectly with the case.<\/p>\n<p>However, as you can see in the photo, a fake would be less sturdy, having feeble steel edges that are a bit wider than the bracelet. This is done in order to provide them with more space for inaccuracy when designing the link size, resulting with bracelets that would fit into the lugs whether they are a bit bigger or smaller than originally intended. This makes the link fragile and weak.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2039\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/5-Original-IMG_0013-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"5 - Original IMG_0013\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/5-Fake-IMG_0009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2038\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/5-Fake-IMG_0009-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"5 - Fake IMG_0009\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>6- The Clasp<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The clasp in an original Rolex usually has a laser-engraved Rolex logo, ensuring that the logo is done at the same level and at the utmost quality. Other engravings include \u201cSteelinox\u201d, \u201cGeneva\u201d, \u201cSwiss Made\u201d, \u201cRolex SA\u201d, and a Crown embossed on the outer side of the clasp with high quality details. The crown has high detail, a unique color, and high quality of embossing.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the fake Rolex clasp usually has an embossed Rolex logo on 2 sides instead of on one only. It also has a stamped \u201cSteelinox\u201d, \u201cRolex SA\u201d, and \u201cSwiss Made\u201d. The embossed crown is also at a lower quality, with a fading color, different detail, and no symmetry. This also has visible holes that are not cut\u00a0properly to a just size.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2041 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-1-Original-IMG_0016-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-1-Fake-IMG_0010.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2040 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-1-Fake-IMG_0010-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2043 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-2-Original-IMG_0017-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-2-Fake-IMG_0011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2042 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-2-Fake-IMG_0011-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2045 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-3-Original-IMG_0018-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-3-Fake-IMG_0012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2044 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/6-3-Fake-IMG_0012-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>7- Internal Movement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movement is without a doubt the biggest difference. The original movement must first\u00a0have a movement calibre that is specific to the model, a rotor clear of any markings. It has window openings in the rotor that fit exactly to the gold engraving underneath it to show Rolex and Geneve Swiss while turning. The rotor is joined to the movement by a turning link, rather than a screw. There are specified gold- and red-plated gears to each calibre, and the overall movement is free of scratches that can result from the use of the watch or the rotation of the rotor.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the fake have very low quality mechanism and even grade \u201cA\u201d fakes can be differentiated from the original. They lack the special high quality windows that provide a view of the engravings, as they are usually placed on the outside rather than under the rotor, and are usually not gold-engraved. Their calibres have random numbers that are not designed for corresponding models. They sometimes lack the plated gears and leave friction marks on the internal parts of the watch over time, which negatively affects the watch\u2019s precision.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2059 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/7-Original-IMG_0020-copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/7-Fake-IMG_0019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2046 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/7-Fake-IMG_0019-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Authenticate a Rolex\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0_____________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Those are details that&#8217;ll help you authenticate a Rolex watch even without looking at the dial, we will discuss printing, bezel and dial details, sapphire and inner engraving on a future blog.<\/p>\n<h3>7-Rolex Serial Number<\/h3>\n<p>Can you verify the Rolex serial number?
