Does a real Rolex tick?
1 Answer

A real Rolex watch does not tick loudly due to its mechanical mechanism. Because of this, loud ticking is one way to help identify a fake Rolex watch. However, if you hold the watch up to your ear in a very quiet place, you may notice a faint rhythmic sound. Shop a collection of expertly vetted Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
