Hello all!

Few days ago, I was on a transit when I spotted this. The passenger was sitting at the front, so when he crossed his hand at the back of the driver's seat, just right in front of me, I spotted this Rolex watch he was wearing.

I decided to take some pictures and a video. I want to know if this watch is an original Rolex watch or just normal watch. How much do you think this watch he's wearing will cost?



Sannun ku!

Below are pictures of the watch;

Rolex watches are mad expensive. You can't wear Rolex and be riding a bus.

It's good for a man to have at least one good wrist watch in his lifetime. It doesn't have to be a Rolex or an Audemars Pique or a patek Phillip. Any good swiss or German brand will do, even if it's just stainless steel.

Which one would you recommend not necessarily rolex just good steel between 150 to 250k naira.

Na wetin she know she dey talk....cos even in the class fakes watches..high grade fake dey ..na these high grade fake the sellers dey call original ...
..some of them dont know ... some know yet greedily sell it an exorbitant prices to pple wey no sabi

exactly. You know what you are saying. Some of these high grades even come with original swiss movements. They call them 1:1 copy. The lesser grades are AA, AAA etc. I think the ones in naija are AA and AAA. Because even that 1:1 is fucking expensive for a fake. Na like 2k dolls..

SisterAnn:
Little people like you think Rolex is the highest watch but I will burst your bubble without apologies.

In the swiss pyramid of watches, Rolex is on number 10.

Rolex watches are affordable luxuries.

Rolex watches are entry level luxury watches.

Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piquet, Brequet, Jacob and co, patek Phillip all rank higher than Rolex.

Now, tell me where you want to start from? 😄

it's actually patek philippe. Note the 1 l and double P with e at the end. Stop derailing. What you are saying here is so off the point

Baba Polo Ltd is an official Rolex dealer in Lagos. No fake Rolex comes with original movement.

Where will they get it from?

Rolex don't outsource majority of their parts, they make them in-house.

SisterAnn:
How did you know he was showing off? So he should have kept his hands in his pocket?

it's common with some people ,when they see u exposing a kind of expensive gadgets they fill u just want to show off,not every mind is programmed that way.the guy with the Rolex might just be trying to feel relaxed by stretching his hands.

You can go for a Balmain, CK, Longines,
cornavin Rado, Movado, Ebel, etc.

But all the brands below cost more than a thousand USD, but you go use am well well.

Woe betides any seller that sells a fake watch at the price of original.

If the customer finds out, he will just invite you to bring more watches for him to buy and the person may never come back home alive or with the merchandise. It's very risky.

fadilaMaikiriki:
Why would he place his hand there? He didn't place it there before. It was after I entered the vehicle he placed his hand at the back of the driver's seat, just in my front, because I was sitting just at the back of the driver's seat, so he was just flashing it to my face. His act is just like saying " take a look at my Rolex watch, can you see it?'

Hahaha. Are you sure he's not your boyfriend? May be he doesn't drop something but went and bought Rolex watch. Cool your temper dear, that watch doesn't cost more than N10, 000.

Really? Are you serious? I was thinking it costs much, reason why he wants to show it off, maybe because of the Rolex written on it. He wants me to see the Rolex on it.

I know. It might not be up to sef. What I meant is the original one

It's tricky to judge from pictures alone, but there are quite a few counterfeit Rolex watches out there, so it's always a possibility.
I've been in a similar situation before, trying to spot the real deal from a fake Rolex. It's not always easy, especially with the quality of some replicas these days. Speaking of watches, have you ever considered looking into the Patek Philippe replica? I recently stumbled upon them, and they offer the same classic and elegant style but at a much more affordable price. It might be worth exploring if you're into high-quality watches without breaking the bank.

When trying to determine if a Rolex watch is original, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, examine the overall quality and weight of the watch. Genuine Rolexes are known for their substantial weight and solid construction. Additionally, inspect the details such as engravings, the logo, and the serial number. These should be clear, precise, and finely executed. Another important aspect is the movement of the watch. Rolex watches are renowned for their precise and smooth movement. However, the most reliable way to authenticate a Rolex is to have it inspected by a professional. While online tools like https://superclonerolex.io can be helpful, they may not provide a definitive answer. Therefore, it's advisable to seek the expertise of a qualified watchmaker or appraiser to ensure the authenticity of your Rolex watches.

From the pictures, it's hard to tell if it's an original Rolex without seeing the details up close. Things like the weight, the movement of the second hand (it should sweep smoothly), and the engravings can help determine if it's real. Original Rolex watches are very well-made and usually expensive, often starting at several thousand dollars.

I recently bought a Rolex replica, and honestly, the differences are minimal if you're not a watch expert. The replica looks and feels almost identical to the original. For everyday wear, a good replica can be a great choice without breaking the bank.

Authentic Rolex watches have several key features like a smooth second-hand movement, a serial number, and high-quality craftsmanship. You can usually find the serial number on the side of the watch case. If possible, check the weight and feel of the watch; genuine Rolexes are heavier due to their high-quality materials.

Personally, I prefer replicas because they offer the look and feel of the original at a fraction of the cost. I always get my replicas from https://replica24.to/. The prices are usually under $200, and the quality is impressive. For someone not deeply into collecting luxury watches, this is a great option.
