Mechanism selection
There are many good watchmakers, but one brand is the leader among them: Rolex. Because the models of this brand are not only beautifully decorated outside, but also inside. The internal mechanism is the engine that makes them tick, and what makes Rolex truly Rolex.
The first question before buying a watch is which movement to choose. Mechanical watches require daily winding, while self-winding mechanics continue to work due to the movements of the owner.
For some men, a mechanic has the same charm as vinyl records for music lovers. In the world of mechanical watches, you will find both manual and automatic options.

Another option is to switch to quartz (in which a quartz crystal is used to operate the electronic generator), or to batteries. Both options keep super accurate time. No effort is required, but they don't have the same romance, history, and technology as mechanics.
Additional features on the watch face
The next element to consider is the 'complexity' of the mechanism, which goes beyond simply displaying hours and minutes. For example, they display the day and date, stopwatch, multiple time zones, moon phases, etc. Depending on your lifestyle, these functions can increase the usefulness of a new accessory at times.
Not surprisingly, the more add-ons you get, the more money you have to spend. But if you are already investing in such an acquisition, then it is worth customizing them according to your needs.
Rolex watch materials
The material will inevitably directly depend on how much you are willing to spend. Rolex has models made from special metal alloys such as stainless steel called 904L, which is very difficult to work with, but has an amazing shine. Or, if you love unique metal colors and are willing to pay extra, Rolex creates its own yellow, white and rose gold called 'Everose'. For buyers looking to spend a lot of dollars, a platinum watch is something special.

How to identify a fake
Fake Rolex watches are common on the market, so knowing how to identify a replica can save you money and not be scammed.
The following tips will help you distinguish an original Rolex from a fake one:
- If the price is too tempting to be true, then the premonition does not deceive you – this is a fake.
- Where is this watch sold? If you are offered a Rolex in an alleyway, you know what to do.
- If the dial says “Oyster”, soak the watch in water for a few seconds. In the event that a leak occurs, the watch is not genuine, as all Rolex Oysters are 100% waterproof.
- Check the model number online and make sure it matches the metal.
- The craftsmen create Rolex watches to be perfect in every way. And that includes lettering. When any typos are found or the text is unclear, the authenticity of the model is questioned.
- The back side of the case on any original is not made of glass. Except for two extremely rare models from the 1930s. All modern Rolls have steel backs.
- On the inside of the strap you can find engravings showing the model and serial number.
- Listen carefully to the clock. The arrow should not go loud. Rolex excellence is virtually impossible to replicate, so no imitation can meet the quality standards of the original.
Rolex types and models for every purpose
Rolex watches are of three types, as are the main goals of buyers. Casual style – there are the most models of these watches. The demand for them is the greatest.
