Rolex Oyster Chosmograph-Real or Fake?

I have been offered the attached watch for sale but I am sceptical as to whether it is real or not. Can you experts help a brother in need!

Thanks in advance,

Ross

Don't buy from a seller you don't trust.

eric clapton sold 2 red daytonas @ auction a few years ago. prototypes, I think.. went for aprox $250,000 each or so. Are you trolling or for real?

If real (which I seriously doubt), it would be astronomical $$$. Run away.....maybe.

Hi guys

Yes I obviously have my doubts over the watch, however I am not an expert and would plan to have it verified somewhere. I love my watches but I'm in no way an expert. I know (a little!) about the Newman Daytonas and when I got offered this, I recognised this straight away.

From your comments it's more than likely a fake but I shall have the watch checked out and report!

Thanks for your help,

Ross

Don't have it checked out. It is 100% fake. Why waste your time?

Utterly and devastatingly awful fake.

Just in case there was any doubt.

Fake. I'd recommend taking some time to read the forums for insight.
