Bracelet and Case Materials

       Gold:Keep the following in mind when considering the purchase of a gold watch: weight, color, solid or plated or triple-wrapping. Cartier and Rolex prefer to use yellow or pink-hued gold, and if the replica's gold is extra-shiny or a different shade is a dead giveaway. In addition, gold doesn't fade over time, but gold plate will wear off and show the steel underneath. A grade one replica uses 18K thick gold plating which will not fade, keeping your watch useable for longer.

       Even luxury watch manufacturers use the plating, because of the price of gold. The exceptions are exclusive models selling for $25,000-$50,000. Be wary of sites that claim they're selling solid gold watches at a discount. That's a sure sign of a scam artist. However, grade one replicas that are made of forged, solid stainless steel will last a long time. When industrial grade forged steel is used, it resists dents and scratches and pressure when you take it underwater. Lower grades of steel won't stand up to these tests. When checking these out, the first ting to test is the weight.

       A good, dense steel will make a quality replica watch whose strength and weight matches the original. Companies that use mixed metals (alloys) create weak, cheap-looking watches. They can appear way too shiny or dull and lifeless. They can also be too light and of course scratch and dent easily. There is also a version of plated stainless steel that manufacturers fill with weights made of cheap metal. Grade on watch replicas aren't made this way-they use solid stainless steel.

Bracelet Links:

       Genuine Rolexes use threaded screws to connect the bracelet links, but some replicas use pins instead. By the same token, top-quality Japanese replicas also use screws. These make it easy to adjust the size, unlike replicas that use pins.
