How can you tell if a Rolex watch is real or fake?
I was shopping around in this city last week with my mom and this guy was selling watches at a small table to the side. I thought it'd be great to mail my dad a watch as a gift since I don't see him very much. My dad is always looking for a good watch and he's gone through quite a few--two Casio watches, five or so Timex watches, and even a Bulova watch!
I looked at the watches and the guy told me they were real Rolex watches. My mom said they were probably fake Rolex watches or rip-offs, but the guy that was selling them insisted that they were real. The guy showed me the back of a watch, which was clear, and said that only genuine Rolex watches had clear casebacks.
I would love to buy my dad a genuine, real Rolex watch so he could look down and remember me while wearing a Rolex watch. I know Rolex is a really good company even though the watches are expensive. Rolex is a watch that will last for awhile, right?
I definately do not want to buy my dad a fake Rolex watch though. So, in short, how can I tell a Rolex from a replica? I mean, how can I tell the is a Rolex watch is real or fake?

Both of my parents have real Rolex watches. They're heavier than most other watches, and they're expensive. Like several thousand dollars a watch. They say a Rolex is supposed to last a lifetime, though. They're a good investment, if you can afford it.

From what I've heard, the best thing to do is to go take it to a store where they sell Rolex watches. The person there should be able to open the back case and be able to tell if it's real or not from the inside.
Also, the hand that shows seconds should be running smoothly, not jumping. If that makes sense. It doesn't stop.

I was reading this and it states that Rolex Watches don't have clear case backs..
So yeah.
I suggest reading the article, it could help :)
Hope this helped!
