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 gotten.
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 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.”
The fashion critic’s suggestion that Regina Daniels’ Rolex wristwatch is not authentic quickly became a trending topic on social media after the post went viral.
While some were amused by the verdict, others taunted the billionaire’s wife for allegedly wearing fake.
“Me that is not even married to a billionaire can’t even wear fake watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like I wear original swatch, fine girl like this come marry old man wey get money come dey wear fake join no sis don’t do such if you want to marry ancestors marry and wear everything only original @regina.daniels or na audio billionaire, IGBO MEN ARE STILL THE TEA NOT DELTA IGBO REAL IGBO TRIBES.”

“I think it’s great that people are speaking out against fake items. On the other hand, considering her wealth and the security detail she has, I’m sure she can handle the backlash.”

Regina Daniels Addresses Fake Rolex Watch Claims
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, who came under the radar of a luxury detective page, addressed claims of sporting a fake Rolex wristwatch.
Shortly after returning to Instagram after briefly deactivating her page, Regina Daniels, amid whispers of going through a marital crisis with her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko, shared a video of herself unboxing her new Rolex watch, bragging that it cost $30,000.
Reacting to the claims of flaunting a fake Rolex watch, Regina Daniels tagged her brother to the post, urging him to explain himself. She wrote: “Brother @sweezzy1 Abeg come and explain yourself because I don’t understand what’s going on here”.
Her brother responded to her call-out via his Instagram story, sharing clearer photos to counter the claim made by the detective page. He then accused the Italian luxury shopping brand of wanting traffic, hence, posting fake reports.
“Dear @t20luxury, contrary to your post about Regina’s Rolex, I hope this helps you get a clearer insight into what you seek. As you post negative, post positive. Let’s be guided!! Regina’s name go make all of us mad last last. And I rate you before o.
