Booklets

[LeftieUSA]

I purchased a wooden box and papers from an ebay seller and thought the box I received was incorrect, so tonight I googled "fake Rolex booklet" and came upon this article which made me get out my loop to check my purchase.

I'm trying to decipher if the booklet I received is a true Rolex explorer ii booklet or a printed fake. The article states "The most important thing to remember these brochures are printed on a printing press with ink. All the fakes are done with photocopiers and the two process are very clearly visible with the help of a loop. Once you establish you have a printed item you can be sure a faker did not go through the expense of printing thousands of brochures as it is not financially feasible. One photocopy is way cheaper so that is what you must learn to detect."


I compared my loop images to the examples in the article and mine has what seems to be pixelation? Below are 2 images I took from the loop of some parts of the 1999-2000 Explorer II booklet. Detailed shot of the "Rolex" logo on top right and of the printed watch. If anyone has a true printed rolex booklet from explorer series can you check yours with a loop and see if you have similar pixelation, or check out that article as well.
