Authentic Watches Versus Fakes
Authentic Rolex Watches Are Easy To Spot
In this report on Authentic Watches, I thought it would be helpful to throw out some tips for spotting a fake. The term “authentic” means real, genuine, bona fide, and sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’ve got the real deal. Well, I’m here to help.
Let’s start with Rolex. If you are going to pony up the dough for one of these timepieces, you don’t want to find that you’ve been duped. First, if the Rolex comes wrapped in a plastic bag, you’re in trouble. Rolex does not case their watches this way. Rolex does not make a watch with a see-through backing, and never has. Rolex micro-etches their logo just below the 6 o’clock mark. The etching is very small and may not be visible without a magnifying glass. One of the easiest ways to tell you have a fake is the weight of the watch. Rolex’s are made from quality materials and are considerably heavier than the copies. Look at the hand movement, a genuine Rolex will feature a second hand with a smooth, sweeping movement…not a sporadic, jerky tic. And if all you remember is this last tip, you’re going to be fine. Check for the case reference numbers engraved on the side of the case, in between the lugs. These numbers will be finely etched, with smooth precision.
There are a lot of un-reputable people out there, trying to pawn off these fakes. Be smart and savvy when making a purchase of this magnitude. Don’t get taken!

Rolex is, arguably the most recognized luxury watchmaker in the world. Rolex has become a symbol of wealth and success in our culture in the states, and around the world. Wearing one of these coveted watches is a sign that you have arrived, and that status is what many of us dream of.

Cartier was founded back in 1847 and has remained a premier, quality watchmaker since. Cartier is sophistication, epitomized. Creating many diverse and beautiful designs, has served Cartier well. The name stands for luxury and high quality, and the look of these watches is unmistakable.
These timepieces aren’t merely functional, they tell a bit of a story. They become, very much a part of whom we are…or who we want to portray to the world. The wrist-watch has become an extension of our personality, and an emblem or our achievements.
Authenticity can take many forms, when we are speaking of watches. It can come in a very expensive package or in a simple brown box. To me, authenticity means honest, steadfast, quality. Many watchmakers today fall into that category.
The authentic watch for you has to be made well, feel and look amazing enough on you to wear everyday, and be matched with your pocket-book. Be choosy…this is something you’ll have for quite a while.
