For some time now, we have been observing a flood of counterfeit watches on the market. Whether they are fake watches or even doctored watches, there are more and more of them...

According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, it is estimated that there are more than 40 million fake watches produced each year, compared to 25 million for real Swiss watches. This poses a real problem because it means that there are more counterfeit watches on the market than real ones. Imitation is often seen as the ransom for success. When a model meets with a certain success, it is highly likely that fake versions of the same watch will appear shortly afterward.

For Swiss companies, the damage is quite heavy, because the customers who buy counterfeit products are not necessarily those who would have bought real products. The counterfeiting market is booming, and there are now more and more realistic fakes, sometimes even reproducing the mechanical movement of the watch identically.

ROLEX COUNTERFEITS

Rolex is the undisputed leader in the watchmaking market. But did you know that Rolex is the most counterfeit brand in the world? In fact, its mythical model, the Submariner, is the most counterfeited model... Which poses a real problem for the image of the brand.

With a marketing strategy that aims to produce very little in order to increase the popularity of certain models, many customers who are desperate for this wait time turn to the grey market or the second-hand market.

The problem in both markets is that there are a lot of doctored models or even fake watches. If you plan to buy a watch on one of these markets be very careful, only a true expert can recognize, with certainty, a real Rolex watch.
