that is from igrotum
Someone in the government should do something about it.
I will report them to the FBI
Cancel them.
do not buy replicas it is illegal
Sold a few watches to dealers here in the UK as originals
if someone is able to re-create the exact same thing, sell it for 1/10th of the cost and still make profit, then it goes to show how overpriced these "luxury" watches have gotten.
True, why pay more if it's that good
Because it’s about the movement and the craftsmanship of the movement, the history of the movement etc.
@@27gw27 when a watch dealer can't tell it apart, and when it's under a microscope and you can't tell it apart, then the craftsmanship is the same. that's my point
@@27gw27yea of course the movement is better but that's a small difference for people who aren't into watches (most Rolex fans in general lmao)
No shit genius.
Thats why it is called luxury.
Or did you think a luis vuitton bag for example is made from gold ?
Soon these replica makers will be suing Rolex for copying them.
In China, courts are a joke。 There is a Chinese company that is using Jordan's trademark. Made $1 billion a year. Then he was sued by Jordan. The court only awarded a fine of US$50,000 in damages.
“Always buy from a reputable watch dealer, like my very dear friend who just got scammed”
but then get money back ;)
😂😂😂
That’s why I buy omega from the dealer….can they Rolexes from AD so have to go gray which is no bueno.
One thing a lot of people don't realize is, there are people who will take a super clone and then do some custom things to it to bump it up even more to look very authentic. Sometimes they'll even buy authentic parts to install in these super clones to make them even closer to the real thing.
yup it’s called frankensteins and will still never cost the same as msrp
As the person above me said. Frankensteins. Take a great superclone, throw on real genuine hands, crystal, dial, sometimes date wheel or bezel if needed. And for just a couple thousand you have an almost identical clone of a 30-40 thousand dollar watch.
Jew greed 101 they even rob each other.
So what you’re saying is buy that clone… change the engraving and crystal, then sell it to Producer Micheal or Happy Jewellers… Adam can do the due diligence / setup a ping pong game for this hypothetical watch.
Was thinking the same thing. If it’s all Rolex parts, but Rolex didn’t build it. It’s still a Rolex. Not a certified authentic one. But still a Rolex.
My Dad gave me a AAA fake Rolex for my birthday, and he said he would buy me an original one if I was able to use and care for it for 20 years. I wore it every day as it looked very legit. The other day while he was playing with his grandchild I told him, Dad, you don't need to give me an original one, I can afford it myself now. However, I am somehow attached to the one you gave me. It's been 26 years and I have enjoyed it every day. He looked me in the eye and said: Son, you always had the original.
That is a great story!
What did we learn here
You have a cool pop's!😊
lucky you didn't give it away, thinking it wasn't worth much. But your dad did give you the ultimate test. You cared that it was a gift from him, more than how valuable the watch was.
No way.
All this video did was encourage people to buy replica watches, which is a good thing. For Rolex to charge 30X the price for the exact same item which can only be told apart under a microscope is absolutely disgusting. Thank you Michael!
Tarvo - That's the buyer's fault, not Rolex. Rolexes are really nice, but after writing a check recently for $50K to pay off my house, I realize that I can't afford a Rolex. Rolex is catering to the rich, so why would they want to sell watches for $500?
I'm thinking about this. I want an Omega Seamaster 300m. I need to know where I can purchase a super clone.
Rolex provides an ego boost for those who need one. My Timex provides perfect time, and I paid $35 for it at Walmart several years ago. It runs perfectly, and I don't chew off my fingernails for fear of losing it, having it stolen, or damaging it beyond repair. The watch runs on a small battery, and I never have to wind it.
@@leecox1513 You have a winners attitude man and I admire that. I run a citizen pro diver myself and don't feel like I'm missing anything, only reason I got that is because of the solar battery it has.
@@leecox1513 People don't buy Rolex watches because they need to tell time. They do it for investment, design, materials, and to feel good.
Difference: 4.09 the circle is perfectly centred on the triangle.
At 4.27 on the other watch the circle looks a bit ropey and hits the edges of the triangle.
Good eye, you're right.
Fax, was driving me crazy they comparing directly above while ignoring the circle haha
when crafting the watch, ROXELOREX sets specific parts into motion

Right
ROXELOREX has best watches
How can you find these?
Type roxelorex watches on google
People now using this video to sponsor fakes and make money
@@mark222-px9lj I've come to the conclusion that every "Rolexorex" post is a BOT
Any links?
20:37 "Do you want to see something cool?" Perfectly timed birds fly by in the background
Im just surprised he didn't inspect the movement. Opening the case back usually tells it all...
He wouldn't know how to open it nor have the skill or balls to attempt it even if he did.
So one interesting thing about a deep sea is it requires a special size case back removal tool and since most non AD stores never deal with a deep sea they wouldn't have the tool to inspect the movement. Also you have to send in a deep sea to rolex to service it because the factory has the machine that can certify it to that crazy depth . A service at a AD cannot validate the warranty without this.
You’d have to be crazy to buy any Rolex without taking the back off, unless it’s from Rolex authorized dealer. The moment you look at that hairspring and see the adjuster instead of screw weights, it’s the detail that no super clone has got right.. yet
Lab Grown Rolex
😂😂😂
🤣
underrated
Easy test, just dive to 3900 meters and see which watch still work
Lol
Probably both
Would love to see them test this tbh they do make machines to test such a thing
Both will work to 100m, more is irelevant
There is this small pressure test device u can use it on ur kitchen table, put both inside and increase the pressure, see how
Glad I found your channel. The odds of me being scammed have come down drastically. Thank you for sharing.
The glare of the crystal at the start was a first giveaway for me, and the dot in the bezel was the decider that nr 2 was the real thing.
You cant tell and you have a microscope and a real one next to it. Now imagine just walking into a stor and tge fake one is just sitting in the showcase. You would buy it and wear it for life and never know.
And some people do
Except when you have it serviced and its opened up.....
Believe me. You can compare fonts under a microscope but there is still a noticeable quality difference, and above all, the way an authentic Rolex looks under different lighting conditions is different. Fakes do not (yet) have achieved that. You need to swap out the bezel, hands and crystal for genuine parts to overcome that. But that will set you off a couple of thousand dollars.
Superclones like these are why i would never buy from a non AD dealer. I can't tell the difference and alot of grey market dealers can't either.
100% correct
If you can't tell the difference what is the difference?
The price you pay. @@Metal0sopher
@@Metal0sopherthe difference is you pay a significant amount and when you go to sell it you’d get back nothing
or find a sucker and make all the money back anyway, seriously grey dealers have a right to be worried with these fakes floating around now @@alih3123
Amazing video guys, very entertaining whilst being so informative thank you!
The only thing worse than a fake Rolex, ... is a real one.
- Jeremy Clarkson 😂
Cos he wears Omega.
Moral of the story: Save your money from over priced watches lol
Legit, watches were the first social experiment to figure out a list of the most moronic people on planet, and since it only worked for the extremely wealthy morons they did the iphone to gather the masses, now if you see someone with an iphone and a rolex, you know he's a special breed, but probably loaded with money.
You can tell from the first shot, real Rolexs anti-reflective sapphire crystal has a sheen(not so clear) to it while the fake one's just clear.
This is exactly what gave it away to me as well. The shine just made it look cheap imo. A Rolex is perfect. And the last thing you'd want is glare stopping you from being able to read the time on your Rolex.
The dial was to blue. And the besel action on the left had a distinct sound.
right then
The lume on the left is inferior so it's the polish and actual manufacture of the fine details
I'm 6 and a half minutes into the video and have seen at least 4 different parts of the left watch that are just manufactured lazily, maybe it's because I'm an apprentice jeweller that I'm noticing but they are big differences to me
@@STANDUP47My Rolex is far from perfect.
I guessed it right in the first minute. The crispness in the Rolex name and the font/colours was the giveaway. When it came to the engraving details, the small narrow machining I feel no fake watch maker would attempt because it looks aesthetically displeasing and it is riskier. That was my take anyway, the one on the left was a little too try hard with its bold engravings...
I don't have a slightest clue about watches, I'm an astronomer.
And I'm not really impressed by diamonds or rare earth elements such as platinum.
But the second I saw that dial (21:05), my brain threw a red flag " wait a sec, aren't these meteorite widmansten lines?" )
That's something I appreciate, after all I found the largest meteorite registered in my country )
Is there a link in the description? Asking for a friend
Google “rolex super clone clean factory”. Said factory is regarded to make the best superclones.
Looks like ARF
waiting for a hero
The only time Michael uses his whiskey glass is when the microscope requires a little lifting.))
The right one is clearly a genuine one. because on the original there is no glare on the glass that makes it harder to see the color gradation (especially on this james cameron edition, where the dial is the whole point).
The edges of the crown and the micro adjuster were much crispier, and overall finish on the right one is much finer.
Also, thickness of chrome circles around the hour markers are more accurate, and so on.
Michael is really having fun through the comparison process 😅😅
The person getting scammed is the one paying full price for the original
paying for the craftsmanship, movement years of R and D , Marketing, innovation. run a company one day and you will understand what goes in to making a superior peoduct. Rather than buying cheap wannabe products and thinking you are getting the deal
@@skadoosh4001 This videos says otherwise my friend
@@skadoosh4001 LOL. There's no R&D in mechanical watches. They've been around for centuries. And today are made by modern machines invented for other uses, and simply reprogramed for gears and sprockets.
@@skadoosh4001 If you think Rolex are the pinnacle of horology then you might want to educate yourself.
@@Metal0sopher Yeah that would explain why everyone else can make their watches as durable, reliable and accurate... oh wait...
you need to add a movement comparison
they replicate movement as well, but not to the same quality as the original.
Hey Michael, what's your view on Nubeo magellan watches? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a limited edition Nasa one but I'm not sure?
Like any game of chess, Rolex is going to have to add some type of unique marker/identifier that cannot be readily duplicated [until the fake product guys figure it out]. I don't know enough about how or what Rolex needs to do, but it is incredible that the fake can fool a dealer who knows how to spot a real Rolex from a fake until now.
If there making fakes for 1/10th the price and its that hard to tell... where do you buy one???
Chinnnahh (Trump voice)
1/100th of the price
Great episode very informative
except for the cameraman shody work and making me sick moving the fkn camera around
I own this exact same watch. I knew from the beginning when you showed the marker at the 12 o’clock position… The dot was not centered inside the triangle…. I love my Sea Dweller!
The crystal was an instant tell the first second you showed them to us. The fake itself is far from perfect, although you've tried to insinuate otherwise. These models are considered imperfect in the replica world, just because there is not a lot of buyers for them. You should source yourself the all black VSF submariner and compare it to gen :) For entertainment purposes obviously.
" I have everything, I like stuff". Nods, this is the way.
This is the way.
Ha Ha Ha 20:10 looking for the Rolex crown had me in tears with laughter! LOL
😂
The engraving on the fake one being so over the top gave it away for me
3:26 The triangle on the bezel seems to be narrow so the dot feels out of place on the left watch. But I can't tell if it's geniune or not, it just look better on the right watch.
I used to live in China. Shenzhen. Outside of Hong Kong. There is a five story building that sells nothing but fake copy watches etc. All five floors. Each floor has around 100 little shops. The Chinese are SO good at this. Creating copies. SO good. It’s scary. Very scary.
Address pls
Don't be scared
dont be scared, the chinese make alot of products you own

Where do you get the top quality replicas from? Zero reason to pay 50K for a watch when i can literally get the same thing for under 1K
😂😂😂 there is a very good reason 😂😂😂
@@markcunningham2959 not really. There is never a good reason to throw away money when you don't need to
Some CZcamss of English Rolex experts in Turkey sniffing out the top quality clones.
This was so good to watch Michael. I chose the wrong one. I was absolutely gobsmacked! Thank you for posting.
You need to be careful using the bracelet to authenticate a real Rolex. Sometimes they will put a real Rolex watch band on a fake watch case... nice video... 👍🏼
.........and this is important to know.
"I have everything, I like stuff" 🙂 that's honestly one of the most relatable quotes from Michael 😄
So at the start of the video before zooming in on the watches I thought the one on the right was real... let's see if I'm right!
9:29 in and I think they've put a real bracelet on the fake and the real has the fake bracelet to trick us 😉
YES! I was right 😁😁 That bracelet on the real one HAS to be fake! The inner etching is so poor 😅
I actually bought a vintage Two Tone DateJust with box but no papers from eBay after doing A LOT of research on that specific reference, it felt real and looked real when I received it but still sent it for a valuation and the valuation came back tripling what I bought it for 😎 I'm not a reputabilable 😉 dealer, maybe I should have a job at your friends shop 😆
The one on the right, the silver coloured infills on the bezel is perfect. The one on the left wasn't crisp. I seen it immediately.
Stands out a mile.
There's actually a better version than this one available. Funny how far the factories have come along with this- a few years ago it was all about who could mod their bezels with the best platinum fill. There were all kinds of formulas and tricks but today, there's no need for that.
@@TheOtherMisterRogers I always wanted to modify my bezels, but finally quit after years of trying.
Love your respect for perfection, Even Fake perfection! LOL Michael, you are one of my favorite people I have had the pleasure of getting to know through CZcams!
Not to toot my own horn but I called the fake out at 1:04. However, that is with the benefit of having a real one to compare to. Without that, I don't think I would have been able to tell.
What about the movement? Balance wheel is the first thing to look at when you open the caseback
Might have been a real movement, he didnt say. A second hand 3135 movement is not hard to find.
If rolex were to change to an exhibition case back (see through) it would make it so much harder for the fakers. I would also be a way cooler watch.
The AR coating is the most obvious giveaway. Knew at the beginning of the that the left one is fake because of all the glare it gives out. If they fix that you'll literally have the perfect copy
Lots of rep owners will send the crystals out to be AR'd
Producer Micheal video always very interesting the communication with Adam also very nice touch
As a watch collector, when I saw the clasp engravings I immediately knew which one was the fake.
I chose correctly. What gave it away for me was when you compared the bezels of both watches. If you look carefully the bezel knurling going around the watch has very slight striations on the left one on the concaves. The watch on the right did not.
A link and a producer Michael promo code for the fake would be awesome!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooo
Very good advices for watches.
You can easily tell these when side by side (the one on the right is definitely real), but if you’re looking at the fake by itself, it would hard to tell. The markers and lume texture are good giveaways. The crown should be more rounded on the edges vs the fake. Also the engraving is another. You should be able to see the material completely removed to make the letters. On most fakes it looks more like it was laser-etched with some of the metal in the middle of the letter still present…not sure if the guy guessing got the engraving mixed up, but the one on the right was much better. Finally the glass etching of the real one isn’t as good as fakes. The fake watches actually do a better etching than the real Rolex. The crown is much more clear and sharp in the fake.
Would be nice to know who manufactured such a good rep.
the answer might surprise you. It's the last place you'd think to look.... i'll just leave it there.
The question is if they can make them that good why are the real ones so expensive 🤷♂️
Because Rolex is overpriced.
It's nothing but branding.
I waited in line for over 2 years to be “honored” as a chosen one to buy a DJ41… never again. I know guys that waited 5 years for a Daytona, took the sales rep and his wife to $500 dinners, had them to their homes for dinners done by extremely reputable chefs, and finally went to the grey market.
It’s insane the hoops people jump through to get a working man’s watch!
@@rumsfeld99 Whatever turns your crankshaft......
Immediatly I can see how the light shines off the crystal differntly on 1 than 2. I would think 1 is fake but we will see
The Engraving tricked me too, i could have sworn that the right Watch is the fake one... WOW !
I do not understand how they can fake it, that it looks actually better than the real one 🤣
that's only because it's a lens at an angle.
Engraving on a real watch is simply as thin as it gets. They used to do it with a press, so it was not engraved, but simply cut. They wanted to replicate that style on modern watches, so this detail is done with a very thin line. The "E" was simply dirty, but on camera, it appeared wrong.
@@Grigoll....and this is important to those who are clean-freaks.
The E'S in watch #1 also differ from the real one. "OystER PerpEtual RolEx. Each has different width in the way its spelled and line thickness. hope im right!
At 0:26 you can already recognize the fake. Just look at the reflection compared to the real one when it is under the camera. Either they have messed up the AR coating or there is none at all.
That is very tempting. Good that I don´t know which store is selling the fake.
The rolex masterpiece tgats discontinued has to be the best rolex ever made. It looks perfect. Meteorite is a stunning dial wow.

I definitely guesses wrong too. Crazy how authentic these fakes look. Thank you for showing us that gorgeous Meteorite dial under the microscope Michael. That is really beautiful.
To be honest, I really wish I could find one of these fakes to buy, as there's no way I will ever be able to afford a real one!
If a fake is good enough quality to fool experts, I would be more than happy to wear it 😅
You can immediately tell that watch 1 is fake. Just look at those jagged edges on the triangle. 3:35
Yeah, but the real one had real crappy engraving on the clasp too
Right so where do we buy that from then ?
This is the most detailed comparison video ever seen .Thank. I will sure buy it from ad
The easiest way to tell that your newly bought Rolex is a fake is by the price you'd pay for it...😁

@@yamafanboy Not really, you would only pay retail price from an official dealer. Dare say you wouldn't, from your comment!!
This is why Grand Seiko just can’t be copied unlike Rolex.
Its just so hard to replicate fine hair brushing,zaratsu polishing and micro perfection of GS.
True value in GS. Rappers bling Rolex.
Awesome, 25 second ad forced on me right before the big reveal, cheers, appreciated 😑🤣
4:38 on the left watch or #1 Rolex above the bezel where the watch band meets the bezel there’s a small indentation in the middle, that doesn’t exist on the other watch.Also the round white jewel thing in the middle of the triangle that you were showing is sitting higher, closer to the top on the left Rolex.
It's about time you know about the fakes, i had them for years, the top quality ones, and they're great.
Where are the very best super clones available?
why copy a watch brand if you're that good?
because the value of the watch is the brand, not the materials or manufacturing
The watch mechanism is different they can't replicated it's too expensive to do that
Butt boy
@@nabilzouitini5054They can and they do.
And even a superclone costs only 1000$
Money…
Rule of thumb in the rep game if details like lazer ingraiving. The reps are usually much crisper.
The fact that the pip was slightly higher, thus making it ‘off center,’ for me was the kicker on watch left. The engraving on watch right was impressive, but the fact that the pip wasn’t right was a dead giveaway away for me. IMO.
Nice job on the video. Thanks for doing it..
This replica is almost better than the original ...
you probably should stick with $200 watches.
@@DonLee1980he’s not a dumbass like you blowing thousands on a watch lmao
I can always tell fake straight away from the 6 and 9 markers. Fakes have sharp edges and the real Rolex makers have softer, almost rounded edges. Easy to spot and works every time.
You’re so cool lil bro
friendly advice.... don't bet a lot of money on this theory. You will find yourself bankrupt in a blink.
@@yamafanboy find me a rep where this is not true. Even the best 1:1 noobs etc all have this issue.
@@yamafanboy genau so ist es#!!!!!
Incredible that these can be replicated in such a way! The raised/'bubble' print of the "Ring Lock System" was probably the biggest give away for me though.
What an absorbing video. well done guys, so informative. So, the upshot is, don't buy a Rolex unless you buy it from the factory!
Any rolex you buy have it serviced by rolex and they will open it up and tell you if its real.
No what you want do is to have the watch authenticated by rolex BEFORE you purchase it.
@@yamafanboy nobody will let you take their watch and bring it to rolex first.
@@yamafanboyare you sure Rolex will supply that service? I’m not. Maybe if you’re a longtime customer (in which case they’d be selling you what you want). The grey dealers who have been in business for 40+ yrs are reputable (not going to disappear overnight) and have in-house experts verifying watches.
This shows how unnecessary it is to buy expensive watches
so a 5 thousand dollar watch isn't expensive? Or you thought these fakes were cheap?
My son purchased a super Rolex copy and it was perfect. The giveaway was when the back cover was removed and the balance wheel is compared. There is a huge difference between them but the rest of the movement is the same.
I got it right. Bezel.
The trick to spotting the etched crown - just learned this on my Batman - shine a very bright light DOWN from about 12 o’clock towards it.
I think the right one is the real one.
My thinking is as follows.
3:08-3:30 the left watch has a notch on the top dot at 12 oclock the right watch does not have this notch on the topside of the dot at the 12 o'clock mark.
I do not know anything about watches!
But the right not having a notch in top, looks better, therefore my guess is that rights the real one.
Can't wait till the end of the clip to find out what's what.
Edit: I was right about it and somehow this was a confidence booster.
Thanks to you guys we are learning about everything we could not afford😂😂 but love to watch😅
Now this was a cool video. Love the insight
i never understood how people are comfortable buying on the gray market. probably 50% of the stuff isn't what seller says it is. And the seller probably doesn't even know.
It gets to the level where calling replicas bought from igrotum a "clone" is indeed more adequate than "fake".
At 4:31 they both missed the obvious difference. The one on the left if you look , the circle in the middle of the upside down triangle has a notch on top where the one on the right does not.
How about a look on the inside? And a weight comparison with the same number of links?
Rolex videos normally cover three bits of information. How much you: paid, it's value today, it's worth tomorrow. It's refreshing to see a different kind of video. Thanks for all the effort. BTW, I hear that there are some very good Tudor "super clones" out there now.
Tbh the bezel machining gave it away for me immediately. Also The markers on the right watch appeared sharper although I know bezel composition may have changed between the years. Either way, good to know I guessed correctly but I wouldn't be able to tell unless I had a real one handy to compare to. Modern machining is crazy
I live in Shanghai, China and I have seen the quality of the fake watches increase exponentially over the last few years. So much so the box and papers looks original.
Thanks !!!
You get the crown on the mk2 deep sea dial , also you didn't look for the etched crown on the crystal, its hard to see because of the thickness of crystal but it will be there.
