I saw a fake 18k wg pres the other day and OMG first it wasn't gold second the movement was an almost exact copy of a 3155 down to the red reversers. This was one of the best fakes I have seen so beware they're getting better at it again. Rikki

I do not know if this has been fixed or changed but I do know that 3 months ago genuine Rolex stems would not fit the fake movement.

What Rolex needs in the 21st Century is more anti-replica defensive technology. With "powder type" RFID tags in key components and RFID readers at ADs, this sort of thing should be eliminated.
