pls click on the picture to see all the tell-tale signs clearly......
this picture has been around for quite some time...... in fact after rolex launched their new 116718 18k yellow gold gmt master 2, the fakers also introduced their new product not long after......... haha...... talk about meeting market needs, they are very efficient surely......
so let us go after them feature by feature.....
1. this watch attempts to copy the ceramic bezel............. however, there is no bezel in green for the gmt master 2 .. it comes only in black......... moreover, the numerals on a real gmt 2 are engraved much deeper than the folex..... the font on the bezel is also wrong....
2. observe carefully and you can tell that the gold surround for the hour markers are way too thick.......
3. unfortunately the fakers also got the shape of the crown protectors wrong......... far too sharp on this folex.......
4. for the 116718, rolex introduced the maxi case which is a more muscular and wider watch case...... this folex got it wrong......
5. the centre links should be a shiny polished surface.......
6. model number printed on the green hologram is wrong.......... it shd be 116718 and its position shd be slightly below the centre ....not that much towards the bottom.....
7. the SEL (solid end links) look pretty good but again, there shd not be any code on the bracelet...... for late-model rolex watches, the bracelet code are engraved elsewhere (between the end links).....
8. the oyster fliplock clasp is not correct..... only the submariner/sea dweller come with a oyster fliplock bracelet........
9. absence of 18k and 750 hallmarks on the supposedly 18k yellow gold watch case......
and most importantly.......
10. the movement is totally WRONG WRONG WRONG............. rolex does not use a plastic retaining ring.... the rotor shape and engraving are wrong....... the balance is wrong..... the ball-bearing rotor is wrong............... the gears are all wrong..........
