The problem with fakes is you can have someone buying something in the grey market, tell the person it's real, buy a fake Rolex for 8k. You can argue that they should've gone to an authorized dealer but they can have markups and more importantly the dealer hates selling to normal people. Even if you have the money, they won't let you buy it and put you on a wait-list until you shill out more money on other jewelry. So people go to the grey market.

Fake watches are really products that compete with the Original, fakes holding the original's name really isn't an issue if the original is worth by price to quality ratio, true capitalism realizes only the quality of a product and brand reputation has no place in it, If someone can make a better product than you, you shouldn't be able to outright stop the distribution of those products. Copyright creates monopolies and makes only a few companies have access to technology anyone can recreate.Its sad something like movement technology can be "pantented".

There are no mechanical watches that would be 5 dollars or even anything close to that available -- fake or not, and let for them to be anywhere near accurate and reliable -- the only movements that can be accurate at 5$ are quartz movements (battery powered), and as the name suggests, they're powered by a battery, that at 5 dollars, will run out very quickly. Another thing is that quartz watches are very different to mechanical watches (they're usually very loud) and look completely different. A quartz movement in a Rolex would be so obvious that even with no knowledge, you would be able to see the difference. The watches in the video that are fake, are usually upwards of 400+$ dollars because of this.

I took it to a watch guy just to see what he had to say about it and outside of opening the case or inpecting it very carefully with a magnified lense you wouldnt be qble to tell its fake. And its not like it was instant when he looked at it under the lense, he had to really look at it for a while and found tiny tiny details that were just slightly less refined. They even added tungsten to the watch to make it have the weight of the original. Its impressive.

Rolexes are hand made so they can't crank out watches like Casio. Yes, both make watches but it is like comparing Ford to Ferrari. Quality costs.

@@shino8854 It's basic economics - supply and demand. In this case both are impacting on the watch market. High demand and low supply (whether real or artificial) creates a perfect environment for the grey & black marketeers to move in and exploit the gap. I collect knives and the same problem exists. A friend of mine who use to work in mining assures me the same even applies to diamonds. A sad reality. Have a great day.

Fun fact: wealthy people will often wear a knock off just in case it gets stolen.

True. Heard online from one guy who has two watches. One is fake and the other is real. He keeps the fake in the box the real one came in next to his bed. His house got broken into once. They took the fake. He still has the real one. What did he do? He immediately rushed out to buy another one to replace the stolen fake! That guy is smart.

My experience with swissarex was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.

just got my dad's old 1971 rolex re-serviced. it sat in a jar, rotting. it's an old rolex. jubilee bracelet. slate grey dial. pan handle face. i freaking love it wearing it again after so many years. when the sun is out the watch just glitters. it's all stainless steel and that slate grey dial. simple.

A true work of art.

Anyone who is willing to spend that much on a watch should be scamed.

I always think Rolex is like Gibson. The guitar for the snobs.

swissarex sells copycat watches that look exactly like the originals. You won't be sorry you made the purchase.

He does what he does not for the money, because he is passionate about it. His passion, brings in the cashflow. He has mastered the craft.

Perfection in every watch.

That young J was talking about how he actually likes going out there and trying to haggle money. He comes by that one honestly.

Great job customs. Now try to spot one from Clean factory without opening it. Good luck.

While growing up, my brother had bought a Rolex but it was found out later it was a fake and he was so upset he refused to wear it after and couldn't get his money back. He allowed me to wear it during special occasions like at school dances and the prom. It was so funny telling everyone it was my brother's Rolex he let me borrow for the evening. Talk about envy back in the day The best part was telling everyone after prom that it was a fake all those years. Too bad the watch itself broke. That's how good the quality was compared to the real thing imo It was fun while it lasted but that in itself wasn't long either 😂

Usually easy to spot fools. If you sell a rolex that is registered with rolex, you cannot buy from rolex directly again.

Working as a watchmaker for the best company selling watches right now because Rolex doesn’t have many stores or watchmakers, the use another company to sell them all around the world. They make people wait years to get one I’ve seen millionaires go crazy for them and I’m like why? Also the worst part of them is that they will only run for 4 to 6 years and you have to service them. The service for an overhaul is around 1/6k and they don’t do partial repairs, so if the bezel pops off or the Crystal shattered , maybe the crown broke, you will have to do full service.

The service still last better than buying expensive cars. But not that it matters for the rich. They would still pay high for the parts as long they can keep the demand of that watch and it's rarity.

It's true. The era of swiss watches are gone. Fakes are getting more realistic and some can only be identified under microscopes and still with tiny differences. Underground news also show some legitimate store also sells fake watches as well. So experience is everything in this business now.

Ooofff!!... No fingercaps or gloves on those interior workings... gotta love it

99.95% of people can’t tell the difference between a real and a fake. 99.99% of people don’t care about what you wear. So if you own a fake wear it proudly 😂

Timeless elegance at its best.

This guy looks like he could be on a reality tv show

Ridiculous high pricing of Rolexes is absolute bs.. need to encourage more fakes

As a car dealer & part time vintage watch dealer i can confirm perception & reality are totally different. People think we make huge margins because the sticker price is high, usually we make less in terms of %margin on the high the end pieces / vehicles.

Simply unmatched in style.

Buckley was touching Rolex movement with his bare fingers in this video. That’s a HUGE NO NO.

To be honest, Rolex and resellers had it coming.

Ive seen plenty of videos of people comparing 800 dollar fakes to 30k watches and they have to go into a extreme detail on one little thing to show its a fake. So to me that means that it basically costs pennies on the dollar for companies to build most of there watches and they are ripping people of.

This old Adam Sandler is making Rolex more expensive than they should have been.

"When you deal with these things for years, you know: If it doesn't say Swiss, you know something is wrong". Sherlock Holmes over here. Genius.
