Is this an authentic Daytona?!?!

Hi all. Its soo strange. This watch got a engraved serial number but it starts with F . Is it possible?

http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/M...-brancoaco-_JM

Is this watch authentic? I've never seen a replica with engraved serial n. If its original it was robbed because its sooo cheap. 5000 reais = 2.500 usd.

Thanks

Ricardo

Picture is terrible, but I'd venture to say a replica....

Not sure how you know it's a 'N', unless described in the advert!!

Either way, price and pic should be a dead giveaway, to 'stay away'!!!

This, exactly! If it's too good to be true...

A closer look at all pics has confirmed for me, without doubt, this is a counterfeit and not worth 10 cents.......

Forget about it, and move on.

Unforunate, but yes, they have been around almost as long as Rolex started to engrave the rehaut!
