Recognised by trade bodies, insurers and police as leading specialists in Rolex watches, Miltons have enjoyed widely-celebrated successes in 2018 identifying high level “Super-Fake” Rolex watches. Now we are willing to share some of our secrets with others in the trade.
Almost exclusively copying models from the highly desirable stainless steel “Professional” range of Rolexes, these Super-Fakes are specifically designed to con you. Manufactured to a very high standard, containing cloned movements badged like the originals, these uniquely numbered watches usually come with a mix of genuine and very well faked accessories including high level imitation warranty cards to create an impressive, complete package.
Too many times we have had to advise where other jewellers and pawnbrokers have fallen victim to the crooks, losing them thousands of pounds. What value does a single piece of information have, that might prevent your business losing thousands, or perhaps selling a fake to the public?
Using an example of a Super-Fake Submariner that a would-be seller left behind (he departed in a hurry!), we have created an extensive document of guidance and macro photographs (most shown side-by-side with the real thing) that should prove immensely useful in identifying the prevalent, high-end fake Rolex sports watches, parts and accessories. Originally intended for our own exclusive benefit, we were convinced to offer this precious resource more widely when more and more people requested help in some form. The document includes specific sections on the main case, bracelet, movement, current / fake warranty card, swing-tag and more.
“The document is brilliant…it is excellent and the whole while I read it not only did I learn more myself, but importantly I kept thinking how useful to staff this is going to be…There is a lot of detail in the document and I can see it has taken significant hard work to produce.”
– jeweller and pawnbroker with seven branches.
“The document is excellent, it is straight forward to read and is delivered in a very understandable manner.”
– owner, pawnbroking and financial services group.

“Amazing reference document Haywood. Thanks for letting us have a copy – it’s a relief to have you lurking in the background!”
“Just completed my study of your masterpiece. Truly excellent work Mr Milton. I learned A LOT from it and I’m sure my staff will find it most helpful too, even though all purchases go through myself it will give them an understanding of the extent the villains will go to con us!
As you said I did find the warranty card section most interesting…
“Firstly thank you for sending the link over so quickly, it is much appreciated. I’d also like to thank you for taking the time to produce such a fantastically detailed and useful analysis. I am sure this is going to be of incredible benefit to many and your photographs are fantastic!
From my own personal perspective, I found it incredibly reassuring that all of the external ‘finishing’ aspects that you have covered, are things that I currently look for. Which perversely has me more concerned about missing a fake, because I should really know better.
I also have to give a minor amount of credit to the fakers, they really are pulling out all the stops and doing their best to copy Rolex. But as you have so clearly highlighted, the level of finish on the fake, just isn’t up to the Rolex standard. But that is of little help, if you don’t know what the real thing should look like. So having such detailed images of fake vs genuine is going to be incredibly helpful to many.
I was also really impressed with your advice in relation to checking bracelet reference numbers and removing links to check for authenticity. Very simple and straight forward things, but as you will well know, far too many people (especially valuers), don’t do the simple things.
For me the standout aspect to the analysis which taught me so much, was the section on the warranty card. I stopped working for an authorised Rolex stockiest in 2011 so my exposure to the current warranty cards has been limited. So to have such a detailed breakdown of all the current security features, again with so many clearly detailed photographs is worth the fee on its own.
I also appreciate the addition of the bracelet, movement, head weight section. I myself have been putting together a list of clean head weights, but it’s been slow going, so this is a very useful section.
Your advice on opening a case back and what to consider is incredibly prudent. As you will well know there is an argument by many in the valuing world that every watch, not just a Rolex should be opened and the movement checked when valuing. For me personally, opening a case up is number 10 of my 1-10 check list. It is something I will do, but only if I have need too and with the client’s written consent. And with high end watches, I am lucky enough to have access to several authorised workshops, so in those instances, I get them to do it. Because as you clearly state, opening a case back, opens up a whole can of the proverbial worms and unless you really know what you’re looking at once you are in there, what is the point?
Of course there are exceptions to this. If the watch is a vintage or a particularly rare or desirable watch, then yes absolutely you need to make sure the movement is correct. And if you’re buying pre-owned then I think every watch movement should be checked. To not do so, would be akin to buying a car and not checking to see if it started!
But for new or for valuers who are inexperienced with watches, this section clearly outlines many of the potential pitfalls of opening a case back, which they need to know. Some parts of the ‘must open’ argument make opening a case back sound as easy as opening your front door. So to have something that will give many pause for thought and ask, is this completely necessary, is incredibly useful.
Overall I am really impressed with the report and the level of detail it contains, it is a must for any valuer of company that deals in pre-owned Rolexes.
Please let me know how much I owe and I will make payment promptly. Also please put me down as a guaranteed purchaser of any revised or future reports such as this.“
“Having recently obtained a copy of Milton’s analysis, I can say that it is a fantastic addition . . . what Milton has covered is more the external, visual and cosmetic indicators of these newer fakes. Such as comparisons between the engraving, text font styles and level of finish on the watch head, bracelet and clasp.
The report also covers the new fake warranty cards, which even have fairly decent copies of the security features seen on the genuine cards, such as the UV-activated ‘Rolex’ pattern. Which I have to say are pretty good and could easily be missed if you didn’t know what to look for. The report also covers other accessories, such as boxes, booklets and swing tags, which often accompany these newer fakes.
So for those instances where opening the case back isn’t possible for whatever reason, or if you’re doing a post loss and all you have is the box and warranty card. Then this report will be an exceptionally useful addition to your reference library.”

“The level of details in your analysis is fantastic. As you mentioned, the fakers tend to focus the majority of their attention on the watch head; although they have flaws they are becoming fewer and fewer. The glaring errors are often found elsewhere (bracelet, accessories etc).
Your analysis of the cards was great, not something I have looked in to in such depth. The ones that have crossed my path thus far have been of a quality that is far behind the watch and they would jump out at you as being wrong from the off. That being said, your example fake card is the first I have seen with . . . [ censored ]. I also enjoyed learning of the . . . [ censored ].
I can appreciate you have put many hours in to this document, and for anyone with a genuine interest in the subject would find of great use and value. Personally I learned of knew details, reinforced some observed beliefs, as well as reminding myself of small details I had forgotten.
Long term I would certainly find more publications beneficial, the more knowledge you have at your disposal the better.”
