- The Swiss-based Rolex Watch Company produces an estimated 650,000 to 800,000 watches each year, with prices ranging from $3,000 up to $150,000.
- Rolex watches can be identified by the serial and model numbers, caseback identification number and movement signature found between the top and bottom lugs and inside the case.
- Rolex does not manufacture watches with clear casebacks or casebacks engraved with the Rolex or model names, with the exception of the Sea-Dweller.
- With the exception of the Sea-Dweller, all Rolex watches feature the cyclops date magnifying glass at 3 o'clock, while counterfeits enlarge the date to make it appear it's magnified.
- The Submariner, Daytona and Sea-Dweller Rolex watches feature a "Triplock crown" that employs an extra rubber o-ring seal on the winding mechanism to ensure a watertight case.
