San DiegoJewelryBuyers.com has announced the newest addition to its Knowledge Corner, dedicated to helping consumers who are interested in the second-hand jewelry and watch market. SDJB's new article is a feature which provides tips for shoppers thinking about buying a used Rolex.

"When it comes to fake watches, Rolex is the unfortunate victim of more copying than any other elite watch brand in the world," says SDJB spokesman Alan Blyler.

"And we are not just talking about guys in long coats selling Rolexes on the streets of New York or Los Angeles," adds Blyler.

"There are hundreds of thousands of fake Rolex watches in circulation around the world, which continually find their way into used watch stores and online retail outlets." To help protect customers from being on the unfortunate receiving end of a fake Rolex, SDJB lists 13 tips covering gold, platinum, and stainless steel Rolexes.

Some authentication advice in this historical announcement is outdated. A rubber-like strap or transparent case back is not, by itself, proof of a counterfeit. Rolex's Oysterflex bracelet uses flexible metal blades covered with elastomer, and certain references have sapphire case backs. Check the exact reference, components and records together.

Read our updated Rolex authenticity guide for manufacturer examples, or learn how to sell your Rolex in San Diego.
