The Replica Watch Report - Shows you how to spot fake Rolexes



The Replica Watch Report (www.replicawatchreport.com) is designed to be a resource of information on detecting counterfeit watches. Ever want to know how to spot a fake Submariner? The site provides hard information on what to look for when trying to determine authenticity.

Also check out the Rolex Gallery section (Replica Rolex Gallery) which has photographs of high-end replicas to use as a reference.

The Articles section has some really informative entries that detail the inner workings of counterfeit watches, and help you understand better the true differences between the genuine articles and the fakes from Asia.

Welcome to TRF, chronosafe. Well, I've been saying it all along...the fakes are getting better and better...better finishing, top class ETA movements, all the numbers in the right places, dial replication to the minutest detail.

It's gotten so bad, you really don't know whom to trust. The problem is even the person you think and know you can trust, could have been fooled by someone else. It's a deadly vicious cycle and should be avoided like the plague.

BUY AD ONLY!!

Congrats www.replicawatchreport.com ! You are TRF's first Banner Of The Month bussiness.

I picked up a copy of this report and am impressed. The author is doing a great service to potential ROLEX buyers.

I am working on a deal with this author to provide a free copy of the report each month to a lucky TRF member.

This banner space is completely free and is provided for Rolex businesses that are a service to our members.

I went to the link and poked around the site, I think this book would be a good start for a newbie or even a current Rolex owner who is thinking of buying other than from a AD.

Thanks guys, the site is constantly growing as I add additional photos and articles. It's amazing how quickly these replica-makers adapt to the market. A flaw exists in one of their watches? 3 weeks later that flaw has been corrected.

I wish they'd turn such energy into the creation of a genuine brand...
