Alright, so the other day I got this idea in my head to check out if my old Rolex watch is real or not. I mean, I’ve had this thing for years, and it’s always been a bit of a mystery.
First, I grabbed a UV flashlight. Some folks online were saying that real opals might glow under UV light. So, I turned off the lights, shined the UV flashlight on the watch face, and waited to see if anything would happen. Nothing.
- Looked for the serial number stamping.
- Searched for any signs of real opals.
- Compared it with pictures of real Rolex watches.
Next, I tried to find the serial number. I remembered reading somewhere that genuine Rolex watches have a serial number, but mine didn’t. Then I grabbed the watch and examined it. I looked for any markings or signs of opals.
After that, I started looking up pictures of real Rolex watches online. I compared the details, like the shape of the hands, the design of the dial, and the overall quality. It was tough, but I tried my best to spot any differences.
Verification Steps:
- Used a UV flashlight to check for fluorescence.
- Inspected for serial number stamping.
- Compared with online images of genuine Rolex watches.
Honestly, it was a bit of a letdown. I was hoping to uncover some hidden secrets about my watch, but it just ended up being a regular old watch. Still, it was a fun little experiment.
