But that part can be swapped. Really good welding on the bracelet clip, bezel not finished like a gen (too sharp, it's just machined I think), the bezel click/back play, the crown click between hack, date adjust and wind, sloppy or grindy glide lock and indices too sharp (not white gold) are still the main tells even with a serviced superclone.

Gary went to great lengths to confirm that his watch is genuine. A show of the movement would've been enough though. The first thing to do when you have a high quality replica in your hands is to open the caseback and check the movement. Not even the best replicas can hide their shoddy movements/rough finishing compared to a eg genuine 3235. There are "Frankenstein" models out there but they aren't sold by wholesalers.

The winding action of the crown when the watch has run out of power completely is absolutely buttery smooth on the real thing, which you definitely have. And the font, placement and etching of ROLEX on the rehaut is one place where the fakes often don't get it right. Any one of these things in isolation, of course, is not absolute proof of authenticity; however, everything taken together (all the things you've checked) is a pretty strong indication that it's real. To really shut up the nay-sayers, however, you might want to get a watchmaker with expertise in Rolex to authenticate as well. But I believe you that it's the real deal, Gary. And congrats ! If your friend has any other Rolex watches he doesn't want, you can send him my way. 🤣

There's really only ONE way to determine if the watch is real, and that's to take the caseback off and look at the balance, which Gary's done. This is certainly a genuine Rolex. The visual and tactile cues will never, 100% determine authenticity, but are very important if you don't have the ability to take the caseback off during the process of purchasing a watch. Also Gary, people criticize Seikos for having low amplitude. By that measure, the amplitude on your watch there is low.

Gifted a Rolex by a friend? Geez, never heard of such, lucky man. Having said that, though I’m not really a fan of Rolex design wise, I admit when I’ve tried them on, the wearability was amazing, the size, balance, the way it sits on the wrist and also I’m also a fan of their accuracy across all positions for machined, mass produced movements, which no one doubts are of great quality. If it was my money, I’d get quite a few watches before I bought any Rolex but hey, to each his own.

The sad things is that (from what I gather) even some Rolex ADs will decline to authenticate a watch that they haven't sold themselves. I've yet to be shown a fake whose cyclops will stand up to scrutiny - Rolex ones still seem much clearer under all lighting conditions with no blue hue to speak of, but that's probably not too reliable if you don't have a 100% genuine one as a point of reference. Probably the best way for us non watch-makers to check authenticity would be to pop the case-back and check the balance-wheel. Probably also not 100% reliable, but none of the fakes I've seen, including so-called "super-fakes" on a certain dedicated clone-forum, came with Rolex' "Microstella" screws for regulation but used a more mundane adjustment lever. 5:25 ... and if that movement in yours is a fake, it's the best one I've ever seen. Finishing and engraved text look excellent, it's obviously extremely clean in there and the balance wheel looks correct to me. I'd say congrats are in order, Gary! :)

My own thought is that I'm yet to find a watch brand that does "Sharp" quite as smooth as Rolex. I've had San Martin's and Chrono's and as awesome as they are, the sharpness of how they look transfers to sharpness on the wrist too. Do I think they are worth it? Hmmm, I'll save that for another day! :D

Though, the entire video, from a content creator's point of view (rather content consumer) makes perfect sense : since it's a gift, you gotta check if it's real or not and you gotta be objective by definition, even if you criticized Rolex in the past. It is just based on logic. Now sometimes the actual truth doesn't make any sense and I have to give you the benefit of the doubt.

That etched crown is awful. Think you better take it to a guy. Cause no way Rolex offsets and wrongfully spaces dots like that.

I enjoyed this video My instinct is this sub is the real deal, I came to this conclusion 1 you are not a fake person 2 the person who gifted it to you is not fake and 3 That person acquired it from an AD. I find it hard to believe that China is incapable of making a completely perfect clone. Surely they could completely dismantle a genuine rolex and do an exact copy of every part and even an expert wouldn't know. The Chinese could hire some ex rolex employees. What is real? all my Rolex's were purchased by myself from the AD what if a AD swops the watch for a super clone. Final question are you concerned about your rolex warranty due to the fact you removed the case back?
