A social media fashion critic has publicly challenged the authenticity of Nigerian actress Regina Daniels’ recently acquired Rolex wristwatch.
A few days ago, the Nollywood actress released a video in which she unboxed a Rolex watch she had just got.
The caption to the Instagram video suggested that Regina Daniels had purchased the timepiece for $30,000.
However, a fashion critic known on Instagram as @T20luxury has called out the actress, describing her Rolex as not authentic.
In a post on the image-sharing app, the critic who specialises in luxury watch authentication, among other things, shared a detailed analysis claiming that the watch displayed by the billionaire politician’s wife shows several inconsistencies with genuine Rolex timepieces.
According to the watch expert, the primary issues with Regina Daniels’ timepiece include packaging inconsistencies and missing features.
“This Rolex Date Just Two-Tone you unboxed in this video is a vintage model, so it’s not the most recent version; hence, it shouldn’t come with the modern Rolex box but instead an older version box,” the critic explained.
The analysis further highlighted specific technical discrepancies:
“The picture is not too clear to confirm the authenticity of the dial, but one thing is conspicuous and that’s the missing date lens.”
Additional concerns were raised about the packaging quality, with the critic stating that:
“The box is fake because the color of the internal lining is too imprecise and the external material and colors are off.”
The assessment concluded that “the crown gold colour is shinier than what the original should look like.”
