    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    As indicated on Greatguywatches.com, the popularity of Rolex watches makes it one of the most replicated brands on the market. The differences between an authentic and fake Rolex include factors like movement and reference numbers.

    Clear Casebacks

    Productdose.com states, Rolex has never manufactured watches with a clear caseback. "Skeleton" casebacks provide an easy way to tell if a Rolex is real or fake.

    Engraved Casebacks

    Qualitytyme.net explains, Rolex doesn't engrave the caseback with hallmarks, logos, or other designs. The exception being ladies' Rolex watches made prior to 1990. Unlike the counterfeit version, authentic Rolex watches typically display a smooth caseback.

    Holograms

    Greatguywatches.com states, authentic Rolex watches have a hologram-encoded sticker on the back of the watch. Viewing the sticker from different angles causes the appearance to change. Additionally, the Rolex crown rests slightly above the watch reference number.

    Triplock Crown Seal

    Rolex watches have an extra seal located in the threads of winding crown tube. The seal becomes visible after completely unscrewing the crown. Fake Rolex watches lack this functionality.

    Crystal

    As explained on Greatguywatches.com, authentic Rolex watches have the Rolex crown logo micro-etched into the crystal, at the 6 o'clock position. It's virtually impossible to view the marking without the help of a magnifying glass.
