The Replicas

Myths and Realities of Rolex Replicas

Filed under: Articles |

You, as a customer, might notice seeing many more Rolex replica dealers on the Internet. Some
of these dealers dona��t necessarily offer great products and cana��t offer something new to the
customers. But most of these dealers are rookies who dona��t know much about Rolex replicas, and
they are usually shut down after a few months, so they try to sell as many replicas as they can
whichever way possible.

This article is written to clarify the myths and realities of Rolex replicas. You must have a lot of
confusion on your mind about what is false, and what is really true. Try not to be too confused by
all these new dealers who know nothing about Rolex replicas, and the bad dealers who are just
trying to rip you off to make a few dollars. We will clarify all the most common myths about Rolex
replicas.

These are listed in no particular order.

Myth #1: a�?Genuine Grade 1 Swiss-made Rolex replicas are exactly the
same as a real Rolex, but many dealers say Grade 1 Japan-made Rolex
replicas are 99.9% identical to the real thing.a�?

Reality: False. Genuine Grade 1 Swiss-made Rolex replicas are really so similar that no one can
ever tell the difference, and so many dealers say they are exactly the same as a real Rolex (of
course which isna��t true, or it must be a real Rolex). Grade 1 Japan-made Rolex replicas, on the
other hand, are very similar to a Rolex watch. But it is by no means indistinguishable. There are
still many flaws that exist, and the watch does not feel and weigh exactly like a real Rolex. But
realistically speaking, how can you expect a watch that retails for $200 to look, feel, and weigh
exactly like a $10,000 Rolex watch? Japan-made replicas cost $30-$50 wholesale, so it follows
by logic that it simply is not possible.

Myth #2: a�?Grade 1 A+++ Rolex replicas are better than Grade 1 Rolex
replicas, and Grade 1 AAA Rolex replicas are better than Grade 1 Rolex
replicas.a�?

Reality: False. There is no such thing as Grade 1 A+++ or Grade 1 AAA Rolex replicas. There is
only Grade A+++ and Grade AAA when you go buy meat at the supermarket. Any dealer telling
you of these new a�?gradesa�� of Rolex replicas are very obvious scams who are trying to convince
you to hand over your credit card information or your money. Judge the quality of a Rolex replica
by the credibility of the dealer in our Site Ratings and Reviews, and by the specifications of the
watches on their website. But dona��t listen to these new a�?gradesa�� of quality which are non-existent.

Myth #3: a�?Swiss-made Rolex replicas have better than 25- or 27-jewel ETA
movements.a�?

Reality: False. Genuine Swiss-made Rolex replicas come only in either a 25-jewel ETA
movement, 27-jewel ETA movement, or the 31-jewel Valjoux movement for Daytona replicas.
They do NOT come in 31-jewel ETA movements, 34-jewel ETA movements, or 39-jewel ETA
movements. There is also some fictional stories of 27-jewel ETA Titonic movements. We have
received tons of emails from customers who have said nothing but bad things about dealers who try to make up their own, fake movements for these watches. Dona��t buy from anyone who has
made extravagant claims about the Swiss-made Rolex replicas.

Myth #4: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas come only in 21-jewel Miyota
automatic movements.a�?

Reality: True. Japan-made Rolex replicas use nothing but 21-jewel Miyota Japanese automatic
movements. No ETA movements, no 25-jewel movements, no 31-jewel movements, and no 34-
jewel movements. We highly recommend you never to purchase from anyone who say they have
anything but 21-jewel Miyota Japanese automatic movements in their Japanese replicas. People
who create fake specifications are usually the scam dealers who dona��t even deliver a product.

Myth #5: a�?If I pay by credit card, I can get my money back very easily if the
dealer does not ship me a watch.a�?

Reality: False. There is a possibility you can get your money back, but definitely not easily.
There have been many reports from customers which say VISA/Mastercard have declined their
disputes because they say they are only a payment processing company and are not responsible
for disputes between customers and merchants. And when VISA/Mastercard steps in to settle
disputes, it requires hours of non-stop faxing of paperwork and bureaucracy. That is on top of the
fact that VISA/Mastercard can refuse to refund you for purchasing an illegal product.

Myth #6: a�?Swiss-made Rolex replicas have triple-wrapped 2-tone bands.a�?

Reality: False. You will discover that many dealers are beginning to try to offer a�?poorer quality
Swiss-made Rolex replicasa�? for $400-$600, claiming their 2-tone models have triple-wrapped 18k
gold bands instead of solid 18k gold bands. But the reality is they are shipping out Japan-made
Rolex replicas which you can purchase elsewhere for $200. There is no such thing as genuine
Swiss-made Rolex replicas which have triple-wrapped 2-tone bands. Rolex replicas which have
Swiss-made quality and are virtually identical to the real thing only have solid gold 18k gold
bands. Any dealers who claim to have a�?slightly lower quality triple-wrapped 2-tone bandsa�� are
scams. The best indicator is to check their 2-tone Submariner models and see if they say a�?Solid
18k Golda�? or a�?Triple-wrapped 18k Golda�?. Also, if their prices are ridiculously low ($600-$700 for a
solid gold Swiss-made watch), then they are most likely a scam as well.

Myth #7: a�?Swiss-made Rolex replica wholesalers can sell the replicas for
$400-$700 each.a�?

Reality: False. There is no such thing as Swiss-made Rolex replica wholesalers who sell factory
direct Swiss-made Rolex replicas to end users for low, low prices. Anyone claiming to do so is
shipping cheap watches at higher prices, then shutting down their website and doing it again and
again with new websites to make easy money. Dona��t believe it.

Myth #8: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas have 2.5 times date magnification,
just like a real Rolex watch.a�? Reality: False. Japan-made Rolex replicas have either a 1.5 time date magnification or a 2 times
date magnification on the newer models. But no Japan-made Rolex replica ever has had a 2.5
times date magnification like a real Rolex watch. Only genuine Swiss-made Rolex replicas have a
2.5 times date magnification.

Myth #9: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas are more water-resistant than Swiss-
made Rolex replicas.a�?

Reality: False. Many dealers claim their Japan-made Rolex replicas are water-resistant to 50m,
100m, 150m or more, while Swiss-made Rolex replicas are only water-resistant to 30m. But the
truth is, they are water-resistant only as far as you can swim, which is about 5m. And you cana��t
keep the Japan-made Rolex replicas under water for a long time or they will fog up and water will
enter the watch. Swiss-made Rolex replicas are indeed water-resistant to 30m (100 feet), but
Japan-made Rolex replicas are water-resistant to no more than 3-5m (10-15 feet), and you
definitely should not keep them under water for long. They fog up very easily and will let water in.
If your Japan-made Rolex replica fogs up, put it under direct sunlight for a few hours and the fog
should clear up. And dona��t believe dealers who claim their Japan-made Rolex replicas for $200-
$300 are water-resistant to 30m, 50m, or 100m. The dealers know you cana��t prove them wrong,
so dona��t bother trying. Even if you do prove them wrong, therea��s nothing you can do about it.

Myth #10: a�?Swiss-made Rolex replicas can replace Rolex watches.a�?

Reality: False. Swiss-made Rolex replicas may be virtually identical to a real Rolex watch in
terms of quality, may be indistinguishable from the real thing and no one can ever tell the
difference. But they can never replace an original Rolex watch which holds a genuine brand
name and resale value, and is a collectora��s item. People who hold Swiss-made Rolex replicas
usually wear them only to look good. The quality may be just as nice as a real Rolex watch, and
no one can ever tell the difference, but nothing can replace the real thing.

Myth #11: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas have a sapphire crystal.a�?

Reality: False. Japan-made Rolex replicas do not have a sapphire crystal. They have mineral
crystals. Many dealers try to say their Japan-made Rolex replicas have a sapphire crystal just so
they can sell more watches, but dona��t believe their stories. They know that customers like you
cannot test the crystal to see if it is sapphire or mineral. They know you will never smash your
watch with a hammer to test its durability.

Myth #12: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas can last for years.a�?

Reality: Undecided. It all depends on how take care of your watch, and how you define its
durability. For some people, the watch will last as long as the movement keeps ticking, and in that
sense, the Japan-made 21-jewel Miyota automatic movements can tick for 1 year and up to as
long as 8 years. But the biggest problem for Japan-made Rolex replicas is when the gold plating
begins to wear off, or other minor problems appear in its appearance. Sometimes engravings
begin to dent, chip, or fade, or other cosmetic problems begin to surface. When the gold on a
Japan-made Rolex replica begins to fade, you can no longer wear it in the public. Everyone
knows that a gold-faded Rolex replica is an obvious fake. And the gold usually begins to wear on the inside of the bands within 2-3 months, and it will start fading on the outside usually within 1-2
years. So no matter how reliable the rest of the watch is built, if the gold begins to fade, it cana��t be
worn in the public anymore.

Myth #13: a�?Japan-made Rolex replicas are made in Japan, and Swiss-made
Rolex replicas are made in Switzerland.a�?

Reality: Undecided. Japan-made Rolex replicas are not entirely made in Japan. They are made
in Asia, like most replicas you will find, but they have a genuine Japan-made 21-jewel Miyota
automatic movement. Swiss-made Rolex replicas do have a genuine Swiss-made ETA 25-jewel
or 27-jewel automatic movement, but there is much debate about where they are actually made.
Some people claim their parts are made in Switzerland, then brought to China for assembly and
brought back to Switzerland for fine-tuning just like a real Rolex watch. It is still unclear as to
where the parts are manufactured. However, the quality of the Swiss-made Rolex replicas are so
good that they are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing and the quality and craftsmanship
of the entire watch rivals that of a real Rolex watch, so it is assumed the parts are all really made
in Switzerland.

Myth #14: a�?Only Swiss-made Rolex replicas and genuine Rolex watches
have a hacking signal.a�?

Reality: False. The hacking signal refers to the second hand which stops sweeping when you
pull out the crown to set the time. In the past, only Swiss-made Rolex replicas and genuine Rolex
watches had a hacking signal, but the newer generation of Grade 1 Japan-made Rolex replicas
also have a hacking signal as well.
