What the AI inspects, brand by brand
WatchRadar runs the same six-step AI inspection on every watch — dial typography, bezel and markers, case and crown, bracelet, datewheel and reference match — but the weights and the reference patterns change per brand. A Rolex Submariner is judged against the rehaut engraving, cyclops magnification and applied logo. A Royal Oak is judged against tapisserie, screws and case finishing. Each guide below walks through the specific tells the AI uses for that brand.
- Rolex authentication — Submariner, Datejust, GMT-Master, Daytona, Day-Date.
- Audemars Piguet authentication — Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, Code 11.59.
- Patek Philippe authentication — Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, Complications.
- Omega authentication — Speedmaster, Seamaster, Constellation, Aqua Terra.
- Cartier authentication — Santos, Tank, Panthère, Ballon Bleu.
- Jaeger-LeCoultre authentication — Reverso, Master Control, Polaris.
How a brand-specific scan works
You take five guided photos — dial, bezel, crown, case, finishing. WatchRadar narrows the candidate reference, weights the inspection criteria for that brand, and returns a verdict: Likely Authentic, Uncertain, or High Risk. Each region of the watch is scored separately and pinned right onto the photo so you can see the evidence for the verdict, not just the conclusion.
