I have discovered the main difference between a real Rolex and a fake one. The real one works and keeps good time. The fake one stops every so often and is completely, absolutely unreliable. Just what you need in a watch. At first I couldn't understand why the company that makes these forgeries go to such trouble to make the outer casing look pretty good but don't put a half decent movement in the watch. Then I realised that the secret is in the target market - tourists. If a watch looks good cosmetically they will buy it. As long as it works for a few days then people will be happy and leave town. If it stops working after that, then it is too late, they are not in a position to take it back.
