Money-Back Guarantee
Very important. This determines how much the retailer believes in their product. It answers the question: "Does the retailer guarantee you will absolutely love the product?"

Warranty
How long the manufacturer guarantees their quality and craftsmanship. The longer, the better.

Warranty Turn-Around Time
How long the manufacturer usually takes to repair and return a watch. The shorter, the better.

Life Expectancy
This refers to how long the watch is designed to last. Most Swiss-made timepieces are designed to last for decades.

Visual Appearance
This refers to such things as the look of the watch, the accuracy of the engravings, the visual details, and anything that has to do with what the end-user can see on the watch. The comparison is made against a genuine Rolex watch.

Weight and Feel
This refers to the weight and the "feel" of the watch. The "feel" refers to the touch of the watch. Does it "feel" like a genuine Rolex? Compare this to the difference between driving a Toyota and driving a Mercedes Benz.

Type of Movement
The movement is the engine of the watch. It keeps the watch running and is major factor in determining the life expectancy of the watch. The more number of jewels on an automatic movement does not mean the movement is much better. It simply means the second hand will "sweep" smoother. But the greater the number of jewels, the more complicated the movement. And the more complicated the movement, the more likely it will break down.

The difference in the speed of the second-hand "sweep" is virtually the same between a 25-jewels movement and a 30- jewels movement

Another important aspect of movements is the location of manufacturer. Swiss-made movements are the finest (and most expensive!) in the world. China-made movements are usually crafted by low-wage, unskilled workers, and usually inferior quality.

Gold Finish
Gold Finish refers to the type/method of gold on the watch. Solid gold means that all gold on the watch is completely solid. Triple-wrapped 18-k is a process that involves "wrapping" multiple thick layers of gold over a base few gold 4-karat. Triple-wrapped 18-k watches will test positive for solid gold, but the tiny core center is gold 4-karat. It weighs virtually identical to solid gold. The reason triple-wrapped gold 18-k is used sometimes is to save money.

We have triple-wrapped 18-k gold only on all-gold Rolex replicas. If we were to use solid gold, you will be paying much more than the $1800 price tag. A genuine, all-gold Rolex retails for over $15,000. Both watches will test positive for solid 18k gold (in a jewelers acid test), and looks, feels, and weighs the same.

Fake gold plating is usually gold tone, plated over a base metal. It normally fades off after a few months.

Diamonds
This refers to the type of diamonds (or stimulated diamonds) used on the watches. Genuine diamonds are the best, but the visual appearance of cubic zirconia stones are designed to be identical to genuine diamonds (at a fraction of the cost!)

Crystal Material
The crystal is the glass cover on the watches. It is very important because the pressure-proof of a watch depends on the crystal. Sapphire is the best (and most expensive).

Water-Resistance Guarantee
This refers to how deep the manufacturer guarantees the craftsmanship of the watch will hold up. It does not necessarily mean this is the maximum depth the watch can go.

Price Range (USD)
This refers to the retail price of the watch found at authorized Rolex dealers.

Method of Production
This refers to how the watch is produced. A hand-crafted watch is infinitely better than the quality of a mass-produced watch

Maintenance/Repair Costs
This refers to the cost of repairing/maintaining the watch. Keep in mind that authorized Rolex dealers (being the helpful people they are) usually charge an arm and a leg to repair or maintain your watch. The truth is, many experienced jewelers will do a better job than them, at a fraction of the cost.

Size and Dimensions
This refers to the size and dimension of all parts of the watch (excluding the movement). This is very important because it determines whether genuine Rolex parts will fit on the watch.

Anti-Counterfeit Features
This is extremely important. It refers to things that jewelers look for to determine a genuine Rolex from a fake.

Some features include the hologram sticker on the back, the "hacking signal" on the movement, insignificant parts such as diving extensions, and all the microscopic engravings.

Biggest Flaw
This refers to the most unfortunate flaw found on each watch.

Overall Accuracy
On a scale of 0% to 100%, this is the overall accuracy of the replica compared to a genuine Rolex watch.

Note: Our Swiss replicas are considered 99%, but not 100%. The reason is because if we say our watches are 100% perfect, it would put Rolex out of business.
