And not just stickers on the rotors anymore but fully engraved copies of the 3135 with red wheels and exact rotor. Ive seen them in china so i know they exist. Ive even seen exact copies of Kawasaki motorcycle dirtbikes right down to the last nut and bolt for 1/5 of the cost of the real one. I guess when you dont have to pay for R&D and your workers make $6 a day, you can make items a lot cheaper than the orig manufacturer.
But yes I do agree that a Rolex movement has more of a metalic sounding ping than an ETA movement does. When in doubt, take it to a Rolex dealer to have it checked.

I agree but I have spotted the best fakes that cost thousands by doing the date switch.
