Do a search you'll probably find 20 pages on the subject.

There's lots and lots of clues to why a Rolex might be fake. Dial, movement, case shape, bracelet, clasp etc.
If you know it's real, that's also a good way of knowing it isn't a fake

You can study some of the sign in the "Watch Out" section here on TRF.

But I would buy the book "The Rolex Report" by John E. Brozek if I were you. In that book you get many good signs of fakes.

I myself have quite a few articles on how to spot fakes after having been studying them for quite a few years. Sometimes I provide a link if it is relevant (discussion about a specific fake), but I won't just post X numbers of links here now.

To buy the above mentioned book, go to Mr. Brozek's own website (where you also can learn more about Rolex and Rolex fakes):

Buy "The Rolex Report" here! CLICK!
