That's why I never support fakes! I rather wear a genuine Casio watch than a fakey anytime!

[lthg25]

Yes I would never get a fake, why wear something if you dont want to pay for it? Nothing wrong with a Casio!

[seiko.citizen]

some people have the need to show off hence the markets in counterfeits.

These fakes will not last and will tarnish in a short time anyway. What is worst, I have a friend who had a bad allergic reaction (skin rash) to the "fake" metal bracelet .

Perhaps, with the savings they make from buying fake, they can throw away the watch anytime, anywhere and flip to a new watch as and when the fake watch give way.

there is so much fakes produced in china, i afraid fakes are here to stay. and with luxury watch company getting more and more greedy, jacking up prices periodically, the fake market will only get bigger?

I've learned that many good replicas also have swiss movements and the degree of likeness is extremely close and hard to differenciate. A friend of mine in Thailand showed me a GMT II and told me it's a replica and also it's made from swiss movments. It is so difficult to find fault. Just that he told me that the reason he bought it because he is worried someone would rob from him and that he does bought the original to wear on an important ocassion. I hear and looked at internets, there are alot of movements made by China, Japan and now Swiss. So it would be closer to it's original look and feel (weight) and also the movements not too far from now.

Explorer 2: Genuine & Fake

Read in some blog writings by a HK rolex guru. He mentioned that a genuine Exp2 should have some laser mark of the "crown" at the six o'clock position (refer below picture), is it true. How come mine dont have?

this appear on the newer series,older series dun have it.

[Oceanklassik]

You are not wrong but not totally right. This is one of the security features against counterfeit and almost all ROLEX watches should have it. If your watch does not have it, then there may be some problem. I'm not sure when this feature came about though. So it may also depend on the age of your watch?

My Exp2 is V series bought from THG 3 months ago.

[Oceanklassik]

Look harder then!

[franciz]
