White Daytona for sale at Costco!

I'd say this is quite a bargain.

Be specific on who the manufacture is! You are in the Rolex section and that is not a Rolex!

Really? That's not a Rolex? Sure looks like one to me. I thought this was a new line they're launching for the peasants?

OK I agree. Invicta and Rolex both use ETA/Swatch movements. Comments welcome.

Sarcasm is not insulting those that wear and cherish an Invicta. Sarcasm when funny is encouraged but not when you are insulting.

Just a tip to stay away from trouble

Dont worry jmraz, some on TRF can be a little sensitive at times. As one who has owned an invicta I thought your comment was funny and never did I think you where calling me a peasant. Although a watch addiction can lead to being one

Oh, leave jmraz73 alone, he was just joking. In his defense, that does look like a Daytona from about 10 feet away, saw one at Kroger's and had to get closer to verify. Soon as I saw the date, it all became clear.

I'm not trying to insult anyone. Good grief, let's take the PC police thing down a notch. I was shopping at Costco when I snapped this picture. I guess that makes me a peasant too.

Dude, I'm the least PC person you are ever going to meet. I understand what you wanted to do, but if you post things like that, someone will tell a moderator and you will be hit with negative points or kicked out.

Just trying to help. I personally don't opine on other watches because I tend to be too honest and some people around here are very sensitive. I would say things like, "I'd rather get beat up by a gang on payday than even try that ugly watch on", on some of the post I've seen here. But, I keep my mouth or fingers shut.

Welcome, and you'll get the hang of it. No hard feelings?

there are many smilies to help when you are trying to be "funny".......

However, if you are on the iPhone mode, there are some old style smilies you can use, such as :-), ;-) etc.

All kidding aside, can't Rolex sue for patent infringement? It sure looks like a Daytona.

It is very close Jib but not sure if it's grounds for Patent Inf. afterall it does have a date(which Rolex should do IMO!)..
Lots of copies to that are close to Subs but I think as long as they don't bear the Rolex Crown or name,their left alone......
