Question 1

How can I check if my Rolex is real?

Accepted Answer

To check if a Rolex is real, first find the serial number. Genuine Rolex watches have their serial and model numbers deeply engraved into the metal between the lugs attaching the band to the body, whereas fakes often just have them etched on with acid. The watch's serial number, which can be used to determine its production date, is located on the six o'clock side. Checking the serial number against trusted online resources can help you decide if it is authentic. Next, examine the dial. All the lettering on the face of a Rolex watch should be crisp and exactingly clean. It should be centered and perfectly aligned without inconsistent spacing, blurs, splotches or misspellings. A big red flag is ink bleeding, which results from the cheaper printing methods employed for Rolex replicas. If you'd like a professional opinion as to the authenticity of your watch, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Rolex watches.

Question 3

How do I check the quality of a diamond?

Accepted Answer

To check the quality of a diamond, look to the 4Cs. They are color, cut, clarity and carat. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has rating systems that allow you to easily assess and compare the color, cut and clarity of diamonds. Color refers to how clear the diamond looks, while cut describes how well the jeweler shaped its facets. Clarity is a measure of the number and types of imperfections present in a gem. A unit of measurement, the carat, describes its size. If you need help evaluating a diamond, a knowledgeable jeweler or appraiser can assist you.

Question 12

Where can I do a Dior serial number check?

Accepted Answer

You can't do a Dior serial number check because Dior bags and other accessories created by the revered luxury brand have date codes rather than serial numbers. While it’s true that some online resources refer to this text as a serial number, it is instead an indication of where and when a product was made and is more commonly referred to as a date code.

Examine the Dior date code to ensure it consists of a series of two numbers, two letters and four additional numbers separated by dashes (the order and number of characters in the date codes on older accessories will differ slightly from those on newer items). The last four digits in a Dior date stamp indicate the month and year. The first and third digits represent the month, while the second and fourth digits represent the year. The letters in the date code refer to where the product was made. In order to assess authenticity, you can also look for imperfections in the stitching or irregular lettering when it comes to the appearance of the house’s logo on the item’s labels.

Question 13

Can you check a watch's serial number?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can check a watch's serial number, but the way to do so will vary depending on the maker of your timepiece. Some watchmakers engrave their pieces with serial numbers, so you may find the number on the inside or back of the dial or on one of the lugs. Others don't add serial numbers but will provide them on a warranty, authenticity or care card. Once you have your serial number, you can then use trusted online resources to learn more about your watch. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of watches from some of the world's top dealers.

Question 14

How do I check that red bottoms are legit?

Accepted Answer

To check that red bottoms are legit, first look at the soles. Authentic Christian Louboutin red soles will have a glossy red finish and be made of leather, while replicas may appear dull or feature plastic or rubber soles. Also, the sole should fit seamlessly against the shoe. If you notice any visible gaps, the shoe is unlikely to be authentic. Another thing to consider is the embossed marking inside the shoe. Compare the interior of your shoe to images of authentic markings found on trusted online websites. If you need assistance with authentication, consult a knowledgeable expert. Explore a wide variety of Christian Louboutin shoes on 1stDibs.
