WHICH ONE IS THE COPY ?

Hi guys !

Time to sort the connoisseurs from the pretenders.

Here is a Rolex Datejust Silver and his Copy.

Can you say which one is real for sure?

I’m interested to know what you base your reasoning on!

I will say the answer later

I will give you my choice between A and B later

·

Definitely B

·

B 🤷

·

Just guessing is it B with the Lume dots?

·

The Rolex Crown looks wrong on A Bezel looks wrong on B. They could both be legit or both be fake. They could even be Frankenstein watches for all I know. Missing markers could be a camera issue or a Rolex QC issue.

·

I'm no Rolex expert, never owned one but I'd say that A just looks a little too chunky for me. So B is for Bad!

·

B is real. Hour markers on dial of A are not set right

·

B the markers. They seem cheap and way off.

But to be honest both seemed to be replicas. maybe is the camera angle but on picture A the hour markers are a bit off:

My knowledge of Rolex is weak. However I can't see Rolex making a watch where the second hand is not capped, so the it's post could be seen. So B is genuine. But🙄 The lume on B seems sparse!

Assuming both bracelets are originals, there is a mismatch on the lugs to bracelet on B. A has better alignment.

As phat-tony said, the indices are not aligned on A.

So, possibly B🤔

·

In A you have finished bracelet on polished case whereas in B there seems to be continuity between case and bracelet.

Obviously I know f...k all, so it's just something I noticed

·

Bad pics, but I'll go ahead and say B is the copy. Indices and minute track seem off and no crown between Swiss and Made.

·

Hard to be certain in photos but I would say A is fake. A is a modern Rolex copy with the crown under the 6, the jubilee bracelet doesn’t fit closely in between the lugs and the polishing looks off . The hour markers are also misaligned .. . B is an older DateJust model that I think is genuine.

·

B

·

C, all is copy. 😶‍🌫️

Great analysis Mr Eliminator ! B is the real one from 1994, A is the fake from Turkey ðÂÂÂ

B is real > A is fake (from Turkey)

In this case : B is real (1994) > A is fake (Turkey)

Thank you brorher! That made my afternoon 😎

It's almost impossible to tell from pictures. A appears to have a bit missing from the crown.
