Big Scam with the new "orange" Explorer II
Be very carefull
Scammers buy the original with box and papers and then replace the Rolex original with a Fake watch which has been engraved with the exact serial as the original. This is a fake Explorer: ![]() |

Wow it looks so real, even for those experienced WIS cannot tell it without handling them . This is even worse for those new WIS. Must be careful.

Good to know. With this knowledge, the crown looks too thick? Like a triplock?

How can scammers match the original Rolex warranty with fake watch?

it produces fake papers, punch old warantees, engrave serials, mix original with fake parts etc. With brand new watches Once the scammers get hold of the original warranty card then they disassemble the fake watch copy and engrave the required serial - just copy what they see in the new watch warranty card then they sell the original "orphan" at a 30% discount without a box or papers and the fake (with box and papers now) for the same discount. |

This isnt anything we've not seen before...
This example has the mid case & crown winding thingy wrong as noted. These are easily found for even less than $75 on the streets of Bangkok. I have seen near perfect forgeries of DSSDs, GMTc's, you name it BKK has it. These new E42's prolly started life as GMTc's, hence the wrong winder and mid case as seen here... Its notta wonder these hv shown up now, the spy phods released last April; prolly had these fakers dumpin 'junk' soon after...
