There are many ways to authenticate a genuine Rolex watch. However, not everyone knows these little nuggets of wisdom. Before you get that deal that is “too good to be true”, you need to educate yourself on what to do.

Recent studies say that there are over 40 million counterfeit watches sold globally each year, with a net profit of over 1 Billion dollars. Lately, the rise of “Superfake” watches has occurred. In comparison to their cheaper counterparts, “Superfake” watches are made by craftsmen-counterfeiters that have mastered the ultra-complex design of the real products. These products are now being made to such a high standard that experts in the industry often have trouble distinguishing real products versus the fakes. Even Rolex dealers have purchased counterfeit Rolex watches! The best replica Rolex watches on the market have a high-precision, Swiss-Like mechanical movement, as well as intricate details to match the appearance of their real counterparts.

With all the advancements in counterfeit watches, you may ask yourself, how do I tell the difference and make sure I am buying the real thing?

COVID-19: We Are In This Together!

admin — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:34:50 +0000

We all know about the hard times we are currently facing as not just a country but on a global front. Who would have ever thought that we would be living in the middle of some sort of real-life pandemic movie. However, that is exactly where we find ourselves. And in these trying times it is important to remember that we are all in this together! Do we live life differently now? Yeah absolutely. Different however, is not always bad. See we have to appreciate the blessings that the COVID-19 crisis have brought us. We got so accustomed to living this face paced, high-tech life that we often took for granted the little things.

For example, dinner time used to be a mash-up of Facebook posts, IG live stories and often missed opportunities to become closer as a family. Instead of faces buried in phones until bedtime, it is rapidly reverting back to how it use to be. Family Time! Time with friends and loved ones face-to-face. That is a beautiful thing!

On the business side of things, have things gotten harder? Yes! Small business is harder to maintain. Big corporations are struggling to keep employees. The way we shop and live is totally different. However, we are in this thing to make it out better than we got in. It will take time. It will take effort and no small amount of will or faith or whatever your motivation of choice. That being said, we WILL make it out together.

“Alone we do so little; Together we can achieve so much!” -Helen Keller

The tenured employee without income will become a CEO of the future. Aspirations of fame by unknown artist will launch into world tours. Comedians who have no audience will be the next viral star. Kids who get bullied at school will now be able to embrace learning in an environment at home in which they thrive and grow to become the next ivy-league grad. Said bullies will have a long hard look at their own selves and grow beyond the antics.

This is not a wishy-washy pipe dream. This is our new reality. Our fresh start. Our chance to stop and smell the roses. So appreciate the little things, go for a walk or a run. Breathe that fresh air and have compassion for one another. Love conquers all!

These Aren’t Your Momma’s Diamonds

In case you never heard of Pinocchio (which I don’t know where you have been if you haven’t but that is another story), it is a story of a wooden puppet that wanted to become a REAL boy. What does this story have to do with what we are discussing today? Great question! To answer, many people think lab grown diamonds are not a REAL diamond. They are the Pinocchio of the diamond market. This would be a HUGE mistake to think. In this article, we are going to dive in to just some of those reasons why.

First thing is first! There is no denying that natural diamonds are something to be admired and to be be cherished by whoever receives these beautiful stones. However, to say that a “LG” or Lab-Grown diamond is NOT a diamond would be simply untrue. See there are diamond simulants such as Moissanite that would definitely fall under that umbrella. This is because these stones miss one vital detail; Carbon. However, the lab-grown diamonds are identical to the natural stone in every way. You can also get a lot more bling with a fraction of the debt. There are two main types of Lab-Grown diamonds, they are CVD and HPHT. The methods for both of these vary depending on application but it cuts out the time in earth and is ready for consumers in months! So less waiting and save money too? Who doesn’t like that?!

Now there are also those traditional people who prefer the natural diamonds and I totally get it. New things or modified things can be scary and viewed as less than by some. To these customers, just knowing the journey that diamond has had coming to life and making it’s way in their ring, earrings or pendants makes all the difference. It is truly a fascinating ride that these things go through to get to us! I mean every single stone has 1-3 BILLION years of life to it! And that is just growing. Not to mention the mining, the cutting, polishing and setting. And isn’t that worth the investment?

At the end of the day, the natural diamonds will always have a higher value because of this process and investment in their appeal and appearance. These steps and also the fact that the second-hand market on the Lab-Grown diamonds is new. This means they have a fraction of their retail value on the second-hand market, which discourages some buyers. Ultimately, this is a buyer’s decision but these are just some highlights to both to educate you a little further.
