How to tell my Rolex Box is Fake or Authenic or not?


There are fake Rolex Box in the market, and some of them is very easy to tell for his colour is very much different with the original Rolex Box.

But there are Class A copy cat that is very close to the original design in dimension, colour and some of the details.
However Fake is Fake....

Here we are looking at the difference between an Authentic Rolex Box and a Counterfeit.

If There is no apple to apple comparison, I can tell you that the colour is so alike.
The Green Tick is original Rolex Box whilst the Red Cross is Fake.
The Original Box cover has a more clearer stamping mark of the Rolex icon.
The PVC foam sheet is different, original one has horizontal flow lines whereas fake one is having a
lot of small dot marks
Check the inner box paper folding , this is easy to be found... just a closer look. However I think onlt this one has such a obvious defect.
Check the printing quality.
This is obvious, this is hard to copy as original one has a concealed paper ends.
The Original Pillow is fuller, smoother and even seam line.
There is a step at the top of the tray which is obvious.
Good Quality cannot be copy easily. this is the authentic one, the cutting edge is sharp and clear.
The Rolex crown lies flat on the box surface leaving no gaps.
The purpose of this is to help you to identify if the box is fake or not when you buy Rolex not from a very reliable sources or not from an AD.
However, as far as I know, even some of the young Rolex Sales managers cannot tell if he is given just the fake box alone.
If the Box is fake, so as there watch , so you need to beware.
I hope it help you to identify the box, it makes you spending money without worrying buying counterfeits.

Rolex with Leather Strap




Sometimes, we can use  NATO nylon strap or leather strap to replace the original stainless steel bracelet for those Rolex Sport model such as GMT master II, Submariner, Explorer..etc.

We can buy some of these Stainless steel buckles.


The Original Stainless steel buckle from Rolex is about HKD$1,800 each.
The Solid Gold one is about HKD$4,800

Now the one show in picture are those I bought locally in SSP Ap Liu Street, with mere HKD$180 each.

If I use it on Stainless steel model, It is OK for me... and if that is for those Day Date only, I think I will prepfer the Rolex Original. These buckles are all 14 mm width.

What is a watch winder, and do I need one?



Collectors who have more than one automatic watch may have "difficulty" keeping any one watch going continuously. This leads to increased inconvenience especially if perpetual calendars and moonphases must be reset. A solution has been invented - the automatic watch winder.
The idea is quite simple, to strap the automatic watch on to s socket which is mounted on top of a geared motor, which then moves the watch enough to keep it wound when not worn on the wrist. That way, one can choose to wear any watch at any time, and not have to reset the time or calendars. In theory, this device should be simple and cheap.

In practice, it's not as easy as it sounds. First, while an automatic watch has an overwind protection mechanism to avoid damage to the movement, if the overwind mechanism is constantly used for hours at a time (i.e. though constant turning, rather than the unpredictable movement of the human wrist), the lubrication of the mechanism is worn out faster. This means that watch winders must be designed to only make so many turns per day, and to let the watch sit and run itself through its power train. Furthermore, since automatic winding mechanisms vary from watch model to model, the winder must be designed to have an adjustable number and direction of turns per day. Finally, mechanical watches are considered luxury items, which means watch winders are doubly so - due to the small number of people who would actually want one.

An important factors for Watch winder is the magnetic flux leakage. It should not have significant leakage that would magnetize your Expensive Watch. Battery driven motor is preferred as it is quiet and less electrical interference. Two size A battery cells can run continuous for two years. Some of the cheapest one of watch winder is HKD$800 and more expensive Watch Winder is sold at HKD$1,000,000.00.

A Mechanical watch is prone to get easier for wear and tear if they are set to run on timer for more than one year. If I had too many watches I had rather manual set the time before I wear it, only concern is Perpetual calendar that is hard to set-up. I know many people even does not care the day and date on their calendar perpetually at all,

All of this means that manufacturers for the consumer market must not only make their winders mechanically foolproof to avoid damaging watches, but they often construct the winder comparably to a jewelry box. The upshot of all this is that most consumer’s watch winders with programmable winding are expensive - often costing several hundred or thousand dollars.

While cheaper professional models exist, these often do not come with programmable settings, as the maker assumes that they would be used in a watchmaker's shop.

Some Cheap Watch winder has a lousy watch capture and lock device, you expensive watch may drop out and get scratched when you are travelling.

Last word - winders are not a necessity, they are a convenience. You should decide whether they are worth it based on whether you feel inconvenienced resetting your automatics occasionally.
