Rolex or Replica? Are you able to tell the difference between a genuine original Swiss Made Rolex and an immitation? We take a closer Look! Take notice of the "Date" window. The left image represents Genuine Rolex magnification,                                     The right image represents a counterfeit. Next, take notice of the sweep seconds hand. A genuine Swiss made Rolex mechanical automatic movement is considered a "fast beat" movement, functioning at the rate of 28,800 beats per hour or 8 times per second. This high frequency oscillation creates an illusion of a smooth sweeping motion. Counterfeits commonly use a low grade quartz movement, which will tick one time per second -- while newer counterfeits utilize low grade mechanical movements featuring a sweep, they lack the smooth fluid motion found in a Genuine Swiss Made Rolex watch. Take a moment to look very closely at this sweeping motion and you will discover some tell tale facts to avoid getting ripped off.
