\nThere has been an alarming increase in the number of sophisticated fake luxury timepieces reaching the secondary watch market, with Rolex<\/a> knockoffs reportedly accounting for about half of them. Watchfinder & Co. chief executive Arjen van de Vall told Bloomberg<\/a> in an interview that almost 10% of the pre-owned high-end watches received from sellers last year were found to be fakes during their stringent authentication process. \u201cRolex is the most aspirational luxury watch brand and the highest demand, hence, it\u2019s the most replicated,\u201d van de Vall claimed. A Watchfinder article<\/a> estimates that around 40 million fake watches are made every year, which is double what Switzerland produces and it generates a profit of roughly $1 billion.
