Very nice. Makes my OCD kick in thought. Daytona with Daytona, Pam with Pam. I need to get a family picture done. This is as close as I have and its missing a bunch.

That Daytona with the black bezel doesn't look right. Hope you got a good deal on it b/c from the pics it appears to be a fake.

I was just about to say. The crown guard especially is all wrong.

Are you saying it's a 116520 with a replica bezel, or that the entire watch is a replica?

I was just thinking the same thing

The other Daytona winding knob ?

But it might be me . . . .

There's something not sitting right for me with all of them. It may just be the angle of the camera in some of them but case shapes and sizes and other things look off to me

I've removed your VC sales ad till you do. Just to be on the safe side.

I'm trying to let go of my VC because its very similar to my Daytona. I understand if you removed it. Its ok, I understand where you coming from. I'm new here and I may have raised some eyebrows with my collections.

The rolex datejust II rhodium diamond dial for instance, I bought that pre-owned from one of TRF old member "watchaser" you can verify with him and you can see he has solid reference. We all just base our opinion on pictures.

To All members that think the Daytona C is fake, Well come down here in Los Angeles let's do GTG next month. As matter of fact, I posted GTG at the meeting point. So let's GTG, drinks on me, let us show our cards. Posting pictures won't prove anything, you don't authenticate watch base on pictures. A watch maker told me once, every time you're buying a watch other than AD, always have it inspected. Appearance can be faked but not the movement. Just saying...

Easier if you just post a closer, clearer photo of the ceramic Daytona. I doubt anyone will be joining your GTG before that happens.

And you still haven't said where you bought it.

Sorry late reply... I got this from Glarus, Switzerland, thru my swiss biz partner.

Clearer picture attached shot taken 40 mins ago (LA time). I feel dumb going thru with this... nothing to gain by proving anything...

Interesting that google image search shows the white with the same time. Same backdrop. Image belongs to fratello watches.

Ok.. I admit, daytona C is fake. It was given to me by a friend from Glarus, Then I started collecting authentic watch recently.

Let's end this and move forward. I apologize to all members and to moderators.

I accept all punishment and consequences for this incident. If I get banned from here, I will accept it.

Once again, apologize for posting fake Daytona C. But the rest of watch is Authentic.

THank you.

That just made my night. I'm standing up and clapping.

You guys are awesome at just taking a glance of a watch and knowing (more likely than not) authenticity.

Time to do an Irish jig! My wife probably thinks I'm a loon with me cheering at my phone!
