What You Need To Know About Rolex Replicas
It is probably safe to say that there are more Rolex replicas manufactured each year than there are authentic Rolex watches. Rolex is probably copied more than any other brand of watch. There are several "good" reasons for this.
Before I go any further, let me say that this article is not intended to promote, support or encourage the sale of replica Rolex watches. Rather, it is a response to the overwhelming number of fake Rolex watches that are flooding the market today.
Unfortunately, these are not your cheap knockoffs being sold on street corners. Today's counterfeit watch makers are producing a product that is very hard to identify and they are no longer limiting production to current models any more. One of the growing trends is the manufacturing of "vintage" counterfeit Rolex watches.
Makers of Rolex replicas take advantage of the high demand and list price of authentic Rolex watches. In addition, Rolex rarely changes their models so counterfeiters have had time to fine tune their craft. Finally, there is actually a large supply of replacement watch parts which allow counterfeit manufacturers to produce a very good fake of the original Rolex model. The models copied most frequently are the Submariner, Daytona, Date-Just and Sea-Dweller.
If you are in the market for a Rolex watch and want to make sure you don't get fooled by the large supply of Rolex replicas being offered these days, then you owe it to yourself to get Richard Brown's "Replica Watch Report". This is the most comprehensive and thorough resource I have found to help me learn what to look for. This book has over forty-five pages of tips, flaws and hundreds of pictures comparing authentic Rolex watches with their replica counterparts. I have this book and refer to it on a regular basis when I am doing research on Rolex watches and other brands.
Not only does Mr. Brown provide detailed explanations that will help you identify Rolex replicas, he has also compiled the same type of information on other popular brands including Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling and more. If you are a watch enthusiast, and especially if you are a Rolex enthusiast, then the Replica Watch Report is required reading. The reasonably low price of the book is nothing compared to the cost of making a mistake when buying a Rolex or other high-end watch only to find out you did not get what you expected. Take the time to order this book and study it before you make your next Rolex watch purchase - you will be glad you did!
By the way, while you are at it, you should consider getting "The Rolex Report" by John Brozek. You can get both of these together at Amazon.com for a little over $50 and your order will qualify for free shipping.
