Signs that a Rolex Might be Fake or Counterfeit

The top ten list documents major signs that identify a fake or counterfeit Rolex watch from a genuine one.  For instance, a fake may have a clear case backs. Rolex never made these. There were only 2 produced and they were both vintage models from the 1930’s.  A fake may have an engraved case backs. Genuine Rolex models will have a “smooth” case back, and are free of these engravings.  On a fake Rolex, the hologram stickers are not holograms at all, but rather simply a repetitious “Rolex” pattern, which does not change in appearance when viewed from different angles. Genuine Rolex models are shipped new from the factory with a Hologram-encoded (3-dimensional) sticker on the case back.  Finally, concerning the date bubble, or “Cyclops,” attached to the crystal, positioned over the date on a Rolex watch. Its purpose is to magnify the tiny aperture and does so at 2.5 times magnification. On counterfeit models the date magnification is more like 1.5 times.
