I've noticed that most of the rolex watches I come across are fakes. I know that they are one of the most counterfeited watches out there but I'm surprised by how many people still wear them. Do you ever tell them if you run across one?

I rarely ever see Rolex at all, real or fake. Guess I'm slummin' it down here - see plenty of 'bling' and 'ice'.

Actually,I do.I have learned a lot from the WATCH OUT section here.
I went to my sister's house and her husband showed me his new Rolex in a metal box and that was one of the things that gave it away,it also had a plastic back!Although it was a beautiful watch,it was a fake.

Even though I think I'm fairly knowledgable about fakes....it's hard to spot it in a crowd..without actually holding it to examine it.....

some of the ones I've seen were so bad, i noticed right away or when they took it off it was very light.

I see them all the time. Its hard to tell from a distance but once you get your hands on it its over. I have been able to spot the single magifacation on the date from a distance once or twice.
