How many fakes on wrists for one original?
Are you able to spot the fakes? is the one in photo fake or original?

I’m not astute enough to tell by this photo, but it does not appear to have solid end links, so I'd say fake at first glance. Turning it over in my hand for 30 seconds would certainly solidify my opinion.
Fakes have progressed to the point where it is virtually impossible to spot a good one by only a photo.
Bad fakes , however, jump from the screen and slap you in the face.
I've heard estimates that there are more fake Rolexes sold each year than authentic. So, conservatively, there are over 1M fake Rolexes sold each year!
I purchased 30+ of them this past year to hand out as gag gifts / stocking stuffers for friends and family. Almost to a one, if you showed me a photo of fake versus real, I would have no idea. However, the moment I interacted with the crown, I could immediately tell which was real and which was fake. The Chinese super rep manufacturers have ZERO incentive to put any money whatsoever toward any aspect of the fake other than looks, and it shows the moment you interact with something like the movement or the bracelet.

It's true, I sold it last week.
