People buy non oem parts in life all the time. From car parts to watch parts. That does not make them "fake"
Ive seen plenty of aftermarket diamond bezels shown here and no one clams the watches are fake. Simply modified.  |
If it wasn’t made by Rolex, but has Rolex trademarked markings, it is fake. The maker intended to deceive by using someone else’s trademarks (rather than his own) to promote the sale of his product using the good name of the stolen trademarks.
A resprayed dial is a refinished original part. Like getting your car painted. That’s completely different than selling an aftermarket hood and putting a Ferrari badge on it. OEM parts are labeled with the manufacturers marks. Aftermarket parts are not. Try to sell aftermarket aviation parts with OEM marks and you’ll spend some time in prison when they catch you.
