Hi,

This is my first post in the forum, and I'll hopefully stick around as I have just raised the correct amount of money to buy myself a brand-new Rolex Datejust. :-)

Anyway, while digging around in my old man's belongings, I found a Rolex Daytona. Knowing that my father wouldn't even dare to buy one, I questioned its authenticity. I posted some pics for you guys to look at before sending it to a Rolex dealer.

Pictures:

Thanks in advance.

LeotheLion · 30 November 2011, 08:15 PM

Maybe your old man got it from the same stall as this one!!

Hahahahaha thanks for saving me the money.

What clues made you know that it's fake?

looks fake to me

crowncollection · 1 December 2011, 07:14 AM

papers are incorrect that is not a good start, and band markings are wrong so fake i am afraid

Methos · 1 December 2011, 01:23 PM

Band markings

For most fakes I've seen playing with the watch makes it obvious. The chronograph (bottom small dial) usually doesn't function correctly, adjusting the time isn't as clean as on a real one (even if it does stop the second hand). Power reserves are MUCH less than on a real one. I can't tell from the pic if it has ROLEX around the edge of the face...

Fake ... best giveaway on a daytona is the subdial are always wrongly positioned

bayerische · 1 December 2011, 07:18 PM

Nice serial... NOT.

Gaijin · 1 December 2011, 09:06 PM

Awful.

globalmedia33 · 1 December 2011, 09:58 PM

Fake.

SWIMPRUF · 1 December 2011, 11:44 PM

Even the dial looks rough.

Throttle · 2 December 2011, 12:07 AM

without looking at dial face or markings, one can tell a low end fake daytona simply from the chrono buttons.

they protrude too much compared to the real thing.

Here are three pictures of a Rolex someone I know wants to trade with me for a vehicle. I am trying to determine if it is real or fake, have done research online but I am still in two minds as to its authenticity as I do not have much experience with Rolex watches prior to this. The back cover has 'Winner Rolex24 at Daytona 1992' etched in it. Any comments are welcome, as I am still considering the trade. If more pictures are needed I can do that too.

Thanks for the feedback.

Whysoserious · 16 December 2011, 05:28 AM

Well, I have certainly seen worse, as this is not a Hall of Shame candidate, but if that watch was any more fake it would be Pam Anderson's boobs!

aqua · 22 December 2011, 03:38 AM

Just been told by a dealer it may be a real rolex.
