Key differences to check

Genuine 214270 has two dial versions. The 2010-2016 version has white gold 3, 6, 9 markers with no lume. The 2016-2021 version has lume on the 3, 6, 9 markers and longer hands. Replica dials often mix these versions. Check the hand length. The 2016+ minute hand reaches the outer edge of the minute track. The 2010-2016 minute hand is shorter.

Other checks:

  • Case: Genuine 39mm case has a slight curve on the lugs. Replica cases may be flat or too thick.

  • Rehaut: Genuine rehaut has engraved ROLEX repeated. Replica engraving may be shallow or misaligned.
  • Bracelet: Genuine Oyster bracelet has tight tolerances. Replica bracelets often have gaps at the end links.
  • Weight: Genuine watch weighs about 130 grams. Replica weight varies from 110 to 140 grams.
  • Case back: Solid steel. No display back.
