subject: Tips on Spotting a Real Rolex Watch by Its Certificate [print this page] Many people know that Rolex watches have their certificates and each watch only has a certificate for its own which means one number on the certificate is only corresponding to one watch.Therefore, if it is a fake watch, its certificate is absoluately false. It follows that certificate is very vital in distinguish a real watch from fake ones. As a matter of fact,just like money notes, Rolex watch certificates have many anti-counterfeiting technologies. I think not many people are aware of this, so I would like to tell you how to spot a real Rolex watch by its certificate. You can find the following features from a real Rolex watch certificate. (1) Special paper
Real certificate is thinner and has an uneven surface while fake certificate is thick and hard with a smooth surface (2)Fluorescence line
On the right side of real certificate there is fluorescence line which can be only seen under money detector lamp.And so isiton the left side. Most fake certificates do not have such fluoresence line. (3)Watermark
Raise the certificate against light then you can see the watermark of several Rolex crown logos that fake certificates lack. (4)Hole-print figures
In general, there are three groups of figures that are all printed in the perforated way on the real certificate.These three groups are like the following: (a)regional agent number.(b)watch model. (c)serial number of watch production.Such hole-print figures are tense and small,while hole-print figures of fake certificate are bigger and sloppier.In addition,deckle dedges can be found on the hole-print numbers of fake certificates while the real certificates are very clean. (5)Agent's name
Rolex watches have a strict system of agents and sales organizations all over the world. And all the retail agents must get permission from Rolex.There are purchase date and retail agent's name or his blue seal on the certificate ever since the watch has been sold to the retail agent. And these can not be found on the fake certificates. (6) New features
Certificates of new Rolex watches are more coloful and fancy.In fact, a lot of patterns are filled with anti-counterfeiting technologies. In my oppinion, some of the anti-counterfeiting technologies are kept secrets by Rolex to protect Rolex watches from the replica watches.
