I'm in SA.
Apart from the GTG's I see Rolex watches at the AD.

David cote · 14 September 2012, 07:18 PM

I love being able to look at a wrist and see weather it's a SD or Sub or even a fake bye seeing the finish or the side of the ss oyster bracelet.. On a Sub they are never polished the sides of the Oyster bracelet and on the SD they are, and you can tell just bye the cyclops, If it has a cyclops and a finished side of its Oyster bracelet it's most likely suspect !!!! If it has no cyclops with it Oyster bracelet having polished sides it's a Sea-Dweller!! It's all in the details!! Lol

superdog · 14 September 2012, 07:51 PM

Bracelet as well. Typically the cyclops is then the confirmation.

phelix_da_kat · 14 September 2012, 08:29 PM

Agreed..
Firstly the oyster or jubilee bracelet (or the PCL)
Then the bezel (colour/srtyle)
And then look for a cyclops

Art 1 · 14 September 2012, 08:38 PM

Bracelet.

andyboy39 · 14 September 2012, 08:45 PM

Bracelet, then Cyclops, then LV Briefcase.

shocken2 · 14 September 2012, 08:45 PM

Bracelet tends to be the giveaway.

Rajnandan · 14 September 2012, 08:48 PM

And the sparkle of the Crystal edge. These are what always catch my eye.

Been travelling on buis this week and saw plenty in Houston. Funny thing is, I NEVER see a pilot with a GMT MASTER.

And I always look.

Bracelet

Cyclops first clue (unless diver when it could be 14060M so I then look at the details of the bezel (lines only between 0-15, etc.).

Lots of homages sport cyclops, so the next step is the bracelet and then case design. Jubilee and Oyster copies are a dime a dozen, so as above posters note, it drills down to the attention to detail.

Agree with many above: A true Rolex looks brighter, reflects better, and generally stands out more than most others.

pol · 15 September 2012, 01:49 AM

For me its the bracelet as well.

Bracelet and bezel gives it away for me. I don't want this to turn into a discussion on replica watches but for actually telling if it's real it's basically impossible nowadays if it's a real reproduction and not a "canal street Rolex...". That's one reason I don't comment on others watches.

Canadianjam2 · 15 September 2012, 04:21 AM

bracelet for sure, like others have mentioned the polish and fit/finish stands out more than watches priced less than $4-8k (ROLEX OR TUDOR).

brokenchains · 15 September 2012, 04:24 AM

Bracelet, then my eyes move on to the face, funny, I wonder if the wearer
would ever be obsessed like us!!

stevedssd · 16 September 2012, 02:56 AM

Bracelet and on newer Subs Deepsea, the Glidelock
