Oh, that is just an example there are many things, a dead giveaway is a lot of bad fakes use plastic like on the back or whatever else. Also the second hands on most Rolex's ticks 8 times a second giving the appearance that it doesn't stop moving. But there is an exception for two models also Rolex has never made to this day a watch in stainless steel with the day at the top of the dial. Finally models dating 2002 and newer have a tiny Rolex crown right above the six a clock position. If a fake had all of these features they estimate it would cost over $1,000 to make therefore being minimal profit to be made.
Edit: Oh correction real Rolex have 2.5 magnification while fakes generally have 1.5
