Replica Rolex Info
 Movement powers the rolex watch and keeps the second hand sweeping. It is basically the “engine” of the watch. The “hacking signal” refers to this sweeping of the second hand when the crown is pulled out.Only later models of Japan made and geniune Swiss has a hacking signal. ETA 2834-2 Jewel Movement. |
 The Rolex Crystal is the glass like cover which protects the face or dial. There are respectively three types of crystals used, namely plastic, mineral and sapphire. Only the later model of Japan and all Swiss use the sapphire crystal. This Crystal is virtually scratch proof and can withstand water depth up to 10-20m. The sapphire crystals used in authentic Rolex can withstand depth up to 300m. In general, Asian made replicas use the plastic and will scratch the easiest  |
 The Rolex datewheel is the font type and size displayed under the magnification on the face. All replica watches use a slightly different font than that of an authentic Rolex, although Swiss’s font type and size is virtually identicle. This is almost undectable due to the fact that the fonts changed somewhat on many of the models and year series of Rolex. |
 The Rolex watches crown is the stem on the right hand side used to adjust the date and time. In short, there are two type of crowns, 1piece and 2 piece crown. On 1 piece crowns, the Rolex logo and the stem are 1 piece. On 2 piece crowns, this logo is usually glued on to the stem. Typically, all Asain use 2 piece and most Japan use 1, while Swiss always uses 1. |
 The Rolex bezel is the ring around the crystal. Depending on the model and year, some bezels function and others don’t. On the authentic Rolex dress models, the bezel has only a cosmetic look and does not function. Among those that do are the Submariner, GMT, Yacht Master, Daytona and Explorer. Geniune Swiss made, aside from authentic Rolex have virtually flawless bezels, while Japan made has a few, but far more outslanding than Asian made. |
 The Rolex case holds or carries the ‘movement’, the face or dial, crown/stem and connects the band ends. Also known as the body of the watch. Better construction of the case is required for deep sea divers. Geniune Rolex cases are the only ones to be crafted from 1 piece of solid stainless steel. Other replica models may be triple wraped is gold or of solid stainless steel. |
 Rolex is known to slighty change their markings from year to year. So if there is any descrepency, there’s no way of telling. As there are many manufacturers, there are many slight flucuations. But this is to be expected. The Swiss made replic a comes closes to having exact markings and engravings in comparrison to a geniune or authentic Rolex. |
 The Rolex band consists of numerous links, held together by pins or screws. Basically, the better quality, the thicker the band or links will be, and the higher end bands/watches will use screws rather than pins. Bands will be plated with stainless steel, solid stainless steel, or gold plated and/or wrapped. |
 These three sub-dials known as ‘chronographs‘, when correct, act as stop watches, not the date. Many cheap Asian makes use them for the date. High end Japan, Swiss and geniune Rolex will use them for stop watches. Daytona’s with automatic movements will not carry a functioning chronograph. Only Swiss ang Geniune Rolex offers true ‘automatic’ movement where the chronographs act as stop watches. |
