$600 Super Clone SCARY Close to Rolex GMT Master II

Free Discord of Watch Nerds: / discord
Wrist Size: 6.75" or 17cm
In this video I compare a Rolex GMT Master II to a fake super clone of the same model type family. We dive into the inside of the watch too to see where the corners are really cut.
Disclaimer: Don't buy fake watches - when buying such a watch, you are supporting criminal enterprises. You're also lying to not only everyone around you, but also yourself. If you can't justify spending that much money on a real Rolex watch there are plenty of other watches I cover on this channel like Casio, Hamilton, Luminox, Tissot, Seiko, and many more that offer far better quality for less than $600.

Ways To Spot
1. The finishing level on the lugs and the bezel itself is not at the same level. They look like rapid and rushed brushings rather than beveling that's been carefully considered for its aesthetics.
2. The rehaut with the engraved above the dial is too far to the right and doesn't align properly and the cut out words are too wide and roughly cut (though the last part is hard to notice without a loupe and the real Rolex nearby.
3. The crown wobbles as you try to turn it. I'm not sure what exactly they got wrong on the tolerances here. Granted, I've had the same feeling on vintage Rolex's, so it's not entirely uncommon, but it does raise some red flags.
4. The movement feels gritty when turned. Granted, it feels quite close to the real rolex, but just not quite there. The extra feeling of sand in the movement is subtle, but there. When you overwind the watch, it also has a clicking feeling, as if the mainspring is not wanting to slip inside the barrel or as though the mainspring barrel outer wall wasn't oiled well enough to allow the mainspring to slip. This function of slipping is in all automatic watches and requires the proper lubrication to avoid damaging the mainspring.
5. The bezel feeling is not there. Originally, the watch was very gritty to turn and didn't feel right at all, but it's worn down. The fake now is still off and still has some feeling of metal on metal resistance, while the real Rolex feels very smooth and perfect.
6. Inside the watch, the balance wheel is not a free sprung balance, the caliber inside is incorrect for the reference this is trying to clone, and it is filled with hairs, dust, and marring on the bridges and screw heads. Overall the inside is cobbled together and functions, but just barely.
7. The date wheel has text that is too bold compared to the real Rolex.
Let me know if you see any others I missed!

    For $600 odd the clones are absolutely amazing. I know, I have the Starbucks Sub and am totally knocked out by how good it is. Of course the fakers cannot copy the engraving because they have no idea what Rolex exactly do and what machines they have but that's just splitting hairs. I bought mine because I was fed up wasting years asking ADs if I could beg them to let me buy a real one. The irony is that recently I went through the whole process again with some emails to ADs asking if I could perform a sex act on them to get a real Rolex expecting to be rebuffed or ignored and then my phone rang. It was an AD who very nicely told me that she can get me what I want if I could visit their store. I have arranged a visit for two weeks time so will be excited to see what she says. I have no previous relationship with them so maybe stock is coming in faster and they know they need new customers.

Despite the details you are mentioning, it is scary close to the real thing, even Water proof 300 but it runs 20 seconds fast a day but could be regulated. I use to be able to pick out a fake from across the room but with this one on someone's wrist, there is no way to tell for sure without holding it and using a loop. They even gave me a card of authentic with it that is also looks scare close to legit. I terrified to see how good they are going to get in five years. Moral of the story is don't buy a Rolex without a third party verification because it's getting easier to get duked on a fake Rolex when you are thinking of buying the real one on the grey market.

    ​ @WristSwap There are "frankenclones" that use genuine parts. Like the dial, hands, bezel insert or entire bezel, crystal, balance wheel. The movements are taken apart and finished down much better. You'll pay a couple thousand for one, obviously due to the genuine parts. But without something like a microscope you are not going to tell the difference. That's the scary part about buying second hand. There are no "tells" left. My genuine 116610LN isn't perfect either. The rehaut engraving is not perfectly centered and the bezel does not stop perfectly at 12 o'clock. Rolex has their own set of tolerance deviations that they consider acceptable. That being said I have an $800 CF/VSF mash up replica of a 126610LN that I wear when traveling. The guy that services all of my watches gave it a good servicing when I received it. Even he was impressed with the quality, fit and finish while knowing it was fake. Funny enough the cloned movement keeps time better than my genuine.

    Currently in Turkey and out of pure interest hunted around for the not so illusive “Super Clone” watches. Lucky enough to have a couple of real mid range watches (£5-£8k) and so asked to see the model I own and was blown away how accurate they are. As most say it was only the mechanicals / winding of the movement that gave it away. But stood up to the eye inspection. They were “asking” €1,400 and didn’t negotiate as not interested but felt that was going to be the price. For something that could stop working anytime you’d be better saving another €600-€800 and buying a Tudor or similar. The shop and range of watches they had was on par with Geneva airport or high end Jewelers which I suppose is intended to give you the feeling of purchasing a quality item. Bottom line is as in the review final comments. You will fool others, no doubt, but you want fool yourself into that feeling you’ve “earned” it and the reward that comes with it.

    But there are good reasons to buy a fake as well. If I ever got a fake, I would tell others it's a fake. I'm not rich, so I would never pretend I am rich. The only way I would get a real Rolex is if I had top 2% net worth or more. If you don't have at least $2 million of DISPOSABLE income, why would you want to buy a watch that cost $20K? Even a bad employee of an Authrorized dealer can swap out the movement and give you a fake. So in my humble opinion, in order to be able to AFFORD a real Rolex, you have to have enough money to where even if someone robbed you or swapped out your movement....that you wouldn't care. I know many will disagree, but that's what I think. In the meantime, a $300 Seiko is probably more than I will ever need.

It is a nice watch but it's not the same. In the end I kept the GMT.

    Apart from the problem that no reputable watchmaker would ever service a fake watch, the problem is simply that they took a movement apart to rebuild it to replicate an other movement. The parts, even if assembled in an equal matter, are not built for the design / purpose of the movement. You would also need to refinish a lot of the parts because the whole concept of a watch is friction based and the finishing you saw here would just hinder that. You could make it run for years but for the amount of hassle, why not just buy a seiko or citizen and have that for 20 years? Why buy the replica of something that is redundant in the first place other than to be a luxury good.

I like it, it looks great and is an interesting conversation in the 19th hole. I could drive almost any car in the world if in wanted, i dont, i drive an old merc. Showing wealth is crass.

    I knew personally the fake was the Jubilee bracelet watch because the moment you showed the rehaut with the ROLEX lettering off centre from the markers I put my house on it being the moody one. They don’t seem at the moment to be able to perfect that from what I’ve seen of replicas.

    There are cheaper fakes where the rehaut on the inner bezel is almost indistinguishable, but lacking in some other areas. The different factories have their different priorities, the best super clones come from the middle men who combine the different parts

    This could be just because the person who assembled the watch was careless to allign the rehaut to the dial marking or the dial is not properly aligned to the movement. I'm no expert but I believe if the movement screws get loose and the the movement gets slightly rotated, both may align.

    How do you feel about the quality of the clone. In my experience every clone has been not worth it that I have handled. By that I simply mean for the same amount you used to purchase the clone you could spend that same amount or less and gotten a better watch. Clones are really big right now and been surprised by the number of people coming to there defenses stating how good they are for the money.

    @@appleman29 You asking me? I do not buy fakes, because what I have found as you basically are getting a crappy product. As I have been hearing more and more vocal people in the community talking about how good Chinese reps have gotten and things like it is 97% the same as gen, I decided to really find out for myself. I can tell you right now it being anywhere near actually being the same as a gen is a load of crap. I am interested to find out if they actually are good for the money and offer the same or more for there respective dollar amount versus another watch cheap but good non rep watch. So I did a bunch of research and bought what I could find as the best or one of the best reps out of the box. I’ll let you know how I feel when I get it if you want to hear.

    Living in South Africa, which has one of the highest crime rates in the world, wearing my Rolex watch out in public makes me feel very at risk and potentially targetted by anyone walking past me, makes me paranoid, we have a gang here that's called the Rolex gang which have been responsible for killing, following, hijacking and shooting multiple people just to take the watch of their wrist, and in most cases it happens in the middle of the day in public areas and they usually escape being caught by the police as they are often slow to respond and dont really look into it once they arive on scene, so buying a high end replica Rolex that I can wear just as I would my real Rolex is a great option, they look and feel so real I can enjoy looking at them as I would my genuine ones and if I do get mugged or heald at gun point I can without hesitation hand over my replica knowing I can always get another one and that my genuines are safe and far from the action in a lovely vault. People hate on replicas but in alot of places nowadays it's the smart thing to wear if you like wearing your watches

    The Rolex gang must use some pretty advanced tech to spot a high-end replica on your wrist from a distance and leave you alone. Be sure to keep those slightly thicker indices clearly visible, so they do not shoot such a remarkably intelligent individual as you clearly are. Edit: Oh, I see now (I did not read you comment to the end at first), the gang only shoots people who refuse to hand over the watch. And according to your logic, members of a Rolex gang always ask people to hand over their watches and of course you assume that a Rolex owner values his watch more than his life, so he will not give the watch to the robbers and all victims are therefore just stubborn and reckless people. You do not have to explain. Just tell me, do you actually believe that you will fool someone, besides children, that you, with your intellect, have a real Rolex? :) If you are really that wealthy, then it must be parents money or a lottery or I do not know...

    I was able to pick it out from the small details. That aside, I agree. When you buy one of these fakes no matter how good it is, even if you fool others you know you are always lying to yourself. You will never have the same feeling, never be able to sell, trade or pass it down. If you cannot afford the real thing (new or pre owned) right now, buy something cheaper that is real, there are tons of fantastic watches out there, until you can. Make it your goal and when you achieve it you will feel incredible that you were able to reach that goal, you will be proud of it and yourself every time you look at it, wear it or show it off.

    This is true. Otherwise, why not use your cell phone which is even better for keeping time? People don't buy watches to get the time anymore. When you buy a great watch like a Rolex or a Patek, it's your way of telling others, "I have more money than you probably do." That's why I don't own a fake. Actually, I don't own a real Rolex either. Why? Because I am not rich so there is no need for me to pretend I'm rich.
