Help educate me
Saw this on you tube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vooo4&feature=related Some of the new fakes are really really tough for me to tell so I was wondering if you guys thought these watches were both fake or how to tell the real one? Thanks!!!

It's a waste of time to try to learn anything of value from those videos. The watches both may be real or they may both be fake or there may be one fake and one authentic one.
They are really selling fakes on that site, because the want to convince you that you cannot tell the difference with a cursory view of the video. In all honesty, the one on the left looks like the better of the two, just as the caption states, but I wouldn't put any money on either one. Hang around TRF for some time and learn from the best.

As everyone will tell you here, buy the seller, not the watch.
Never take a risk unless you are prepared to lose your money. Rolex's are far to often copied that that you cannot afford to buy off a website unless to have complete confidence that what you are buying is genuine. It's very rare for a bargain to be found, if it looks too good to be true, it usually is! |

Sad to say some folks won't know until they are already hoodwinked.

What is even more sad is that folks look at these videos and think that they can fool everybody for only a few hundred bucks..
It's not about fooling anybody.. It's self satisfaction in knowing that you earned and deserve the real deal..
