Every time you come in front of a gorgeous glass display with the glistening Rolex brand, you want to wear a Rolex on your wrist. Am I right?
Luckily, you don’t have to shell out a lot of cash to have the watch of your dreams. What you’re looking for instead is a replica watch. Yes, it allows you to get the luxuries you want while staying within your budget.
Clone Vs GEN
Rolex Weight & Materials
Many of the lower clones of Rolex have the crown logo on the crystal, as do some of the GEN models, but it’s only visible under certain lighting conditions.
Rolex Weight & Materials As a general rule of thumb, a genuine Rolex will always weigh more than a fake. Because of this, a simple trick for spotting a fake Rolex watch is to feel the weight of the timepiece.
Stainless steel 904L, gold 18k, and platinum 950 are just a few of the materials used in more recent Rolex watches. Before switching to 904L steel, Rolex used 9k gold, 14k gold, gold shell, and 316L stainless steel to make several antique Rolex watches.
However, the majority of copycat Rolexes are manufactured from lower-quality materials, which means they are lighter, less durable, and in a worse state of repair than real Rolex watches.
Another factor to consider is the kind of material used in the construction of the particular Rolex. Rolex watches such as the Explorer II, and Milgauss, which are all constructed of stainless steel alone, are examples.
The versions constructed of other metals such as gold, platinum, or even a two-tone mixture of these metals are replicas of Rolex. Also, Rolex Day-Date watches are only created from precious metals like 18k gold or platinum, so any watch in the collection that isn’t made from these metals is fake.
Rolex’s new rubber Oysterflex band is only compatible with yellow, white, or rose-gold models of the watch. The Oysterflex bracelet will not fit on a platinum, steel, or two-tone Rolex since it is not an original part of the watch.
