DISCLAIMER
Legal Disclaimer & Editorial Independence Policy
Effective Date: May 2026
News of Watches operates strictly as an independent technical journal dedicated to the objective analysis, mechanical teardown, and evaluation of high-tier horological superclones. The data, macroscopic photography, and structural reviews presented on this platform are intended exclusively for educational, informational, and archival research purposes, utilizing empirical data and international enthusiast community consensus.
I. Intellectual Property & Trademark Neutrality
News of Watches functions solely as an analytical entity. We do not manufacture, distribute, promote, or facilitate the commerce of unauthorized reproductions or items that infringe upon established intellectual property rights.
All references to “Rolex,” associated model nomenclature (e.g., Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master), and proprietary terminology are utilized strictly under fair use for the purpose of precise technical benchmarking and structural identification. News of Watches maintains absolutely no affiliation, sponsorship, or operational relationship with Rolex SA or any of its global subsidiaries.
II. Strict Commercial Neutrality
To preserve the absolute objectivity of our technical evaluations, this platform conducts zero commercial transactions. We do not sell timepieces, supply procurement networks, endorse specific distribution channels, or accept financial sponsorship from any manufacturing entities. Any references to specific industry manufacturers (such as Clean Factory, VS Factory, ZF, etc.) are strictly for the purpose of defining manufacturing origins during comparative mechanical teardowns.
III. Analytical Methodology & Variance
All technical evaluations, dimensional measurements, and movement analyses reflect the independent findings of our editorial and technical team. Due to the dynamic and unregulated nature of reverse-engineered manufacturing, assembly tolerances, material finishing, and movement stability can exhibit significant variance across different production batches. News of Watches provides these evaluations as a baseline reference, not as a definitive guarantee of individual product quality.
IV. Limitation of Liability
Any application of the technical specifications, teardown data, or component analyses provided on this journal is executed entirely at the reader’s own discretion and risk. While we rigorously strive for exactitude in our horological reporting, we make no absolute warranties regarding the completeness, long-term reliability, or static accuracy of the documented specifications.
By accessing our teardown reports and technical articles, you acknowledge and respect the purely educational and structural research nature of this platform.
