Without seeing the insides I cannot tell. So I am hoping that the esteemed members can tell me. If this Daytona real of a fake ?

Thanks !

we do not use the "F" word around here..

matt4hand · 16 January 2012, 07:22 AM

We need better photo's but looks fake from the font of the sub dials.
I would say 9/10 times these posts are fakes.
Do you have any more history on the watch?

This need to be in the watch out section as well.

goldminer · 16 January 2012, 07:23 AM

It is a very bad fake at that.

GradyPhilpott · 16 January 2012, 07:23 AM

This thread will eventually find it's way to the "Watch Out" section, where such evaluations are done.

rjmarti · 16 January 2012, 07:25 AM

Oh my apologies for putting this in the incorrect section :(

figbo · 16 January 2012, 07:27 AM

Not a Rolex.

Lion · 16 January 2012, 07:29 AM

Okay I need educating...how can you tell this is a fake from these pictures???

Welshwatchman · 16 January 2012, 07:36 AM

Moved to watchout.

As has been said, 9 times out of 10 the answer is yes purely because the question is raised.

The watch in the pic looks "wrong". Perhaps the pics are just unflattering.

What's the back story?

If it's for sale at a too-good-to-be-true price ...... you know the rest.

rjmarti · 16 January 2012, 07:54 AM

I do not own it thankfully. It is listed on eBay as item number: 170764879787

I wrote the owner and asked for either a receipt or to see it opened and some close ups of the inside, and got a long reply that really did not answer my questions.

as an aside I did not know this would be moved to the correct section so I have two of the same thread going :(

mrbill2mrbill2 · 16 January 2012, 08:09 AM

Why the double post?

bayerische · 16 January 2012, 08:12 AM

Fake.

MoBe · 16 January 2012, 08:29 AM

Is someone going to report this one?

The Joker · 16 January 2012, 09:01 AM

I would say that the hour markers on that one more than anything give it away.

Alcan · 16 January 2012, 10:05 AM

From eBay listing #170764879787, zero feedback seller:

"ON THE BACKING IS WINNER ROLEX AD DAYTONA 1992"

Enough said.
