Rolex SA was founded in 1905 by the German Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis. Contrary to popular belief, Hans Wilsdorf was neither Swiss , nor a watchmaker. Wilsdorf & Davis was the original name of what later became the Rolex Watch Company. They originally imported Hermann Aegler’s Swiss movements to England and placed them in quality cases made by Dennison and others. These early wristwatches were then sold to jewelers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from the firm of Wilsdorf and Davis are usually marked “W&D” – inside the caseback only.
Despite these intricate differences, quality fake Asian watches are continuously getting better. The average Joe or even the mildly sophisticated won’t be able to tell the difference. The old days when fakes had clunky movement, imperfect fonts or poorly made logos are gone. Most fakes now use quality mechanical movements with near perfect components and often have transparent backs so you can see the wonders of copied Asian horology. But now if you shop in the upscale Hong Kong or Bangkok replica markets, you will find fakes that will suit most aspiring American movers and shakers, and give us a good decade or so of use.
It is estimated by Swiss Customs that 40% of replica watches originate in China, although counterfeits are also manufactured elsewhere, including the United States. In October of 2006 police in Florida arrested a woman who had been operating a counterfeit watch business that earned about $8 million in sales. It is estimated that counterfeit watch sales worldwide cost Swiss watch manufacturers more than $600 million per year in lost sales. Once these counterfeit watches have been confiscated, it is the obligation of the Swiss Customs Service to destroy them. In addition, the watch being imported must not include any forged precious-metal hallmarks.
