Tips for Buying Rolex Watches

Rolex watches have been publicly considered the King of designer timepieces. Only such horologes can perfectly match the king air of the successful men. Therefore, every successful man commands a Rolex watch.

As the emergence of replica Rolex watches which look almost the same as the genuine pieces, to find an original Rolex watch become a difficulty. Carelessness may get you scammed. Therefore, how to buy an authentic Rolex watch becomes a must topic to talk about.

First of all, you should know that only the authorized dealers are able to sell a totally new Rolex watch with the guarantee of the factory.

Secondly, have a careful check on the watch bracelet. You can pick up the watch and hold it over a soft surface with the watch facing down. Then examine the links of the bracelet to see if it is smoothly connected or kinked up. Suppose it doesn’t match the watch obviously, it must be a fake. Usually speaking, the Rolex bracelet may stretch a bit over time, but it never kink.

Thirdly, the running condition of the second hand can be the most convenient and effective to spot the Rolex replica and genuine Rolex. You should be noticed that the second hand of an original watch runs smoothly instead of running in “ticks”.

Fourthly, it is of great efficiency and significance to chic the bubble-like date window which magnifies the date. Suppose the bubble is crooked or out of center, you must be looking at a fake Rolex watch.

Fifthly, one of the most effective ways to spot these two versions is to check the stickers. A real Rolex timepiece usually has a Hologram-encoded sticker at the back which is marked the unique reference number and above is the hologram crown logo. Seen from different perspective, it takes on different looks.

The Timeless Omega Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter Watch

To celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, Omega especially made a gold limited chronograph watch featuring five Olympic rings manner and a fresh type of movement adjustment in that year. And the style was so well-received that Omega determined to cause it big. Just a few days ago, Omega asserted the launching of the Omega De Ville 4-Counters Co-Axial Chronograph watch that aimed to grab the market earlier 2010. And at present this brand proudly brings out the Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter Watch which, as the name suggests, is a sexual combo of Speedmaster design features and the timeless Olympic games touch. And this novel Omega watch houses the very movement as the De Ville model named above.

To my knowledge, there are at to the lowest degree two more Seamaster and Speedmaster based watches are powered by the same movement. What is more, they are members of the new Timeless Olympic collection that has overwhelming Olympic design cues. And as far as I know, these timekeepers are all limited variations. Anyway, I am thrilled that the adorable movement can power more decent watches.

This Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter watch gets my favorite. It is the best with simple style yet refined look. It inherits all the features of some classical watches yet with an innovative Speedmaster case. The dial is quite flawless with few text, and appears quite retrospective with vintage Red Omega logo and unfashionable Arabic numerals. And the match of arrow hour hand and dagger minute hand is classic and refined. The bezel with tachymetre scale is true to the Speedmaster style.

The watch is encasing in a stainless steel case evaluating at a diameter of 42 mm wide, and the case back comes with Olympics themed engraving. Ticking inside the watch is the Omega Caliber 3888 Co-Axial automatic movement that supplies both chronograph functions and calendar.
