A cheap Rolex replica is rated as Grade 5 (out of 5) or even lower. It is often the Chinese or Asian Rolex Replica. The poor quality is noticeable because it will feel and look cheap. It is okay to buy one of these watches, (they are very inexpensive, usually under $100 retail), but you would be well-advised to avoid paying a High Grade (1-4) price for a low Grade watch. Don't be fooled.

Rolex replicas are graded on a scale of 1-5. Swiss (Grade 1) and Japanese (Grade 2-4) are the best, followed by Chinese (Grade 5).

The cheapest Rolex replicas are often sold on the streets. You will notice them because they are too lightweight and too shiny. Not only is the ""gold"" finish fake, the stainless steel is often cheaply plated.

With the genuine brand name Rolex watch (and with high grade Rolex Replicas), the second hand will normally sweep smoothly, unlike cheaper quartz impostors, which move incrementally.

The jewel movement is usually made in China, and the crystal is plastic versus the sapphire used in the higher grade Rolex replicas.

It is possible to purchase a cheap Rolex replica for $50 and less; however, you may or may not get a warranty. The maximum warranty you should expect is 3 months - if you're lucky.
