How can I spot a fake...

How can I spot a fake Datejust ref. 16200, or a genuine one with parts replaced with not genuine ones?

Thank you for your help.
Giorgio

a fake datejust is easily enough- look, feel, quality etc etc- you will know. as for one with parts replaced etc it really depends on what parts how well you know rolex to know how much you can spot.

Can you be more specific?
About the parts, I've heard of fake crowns and bracelets.
