Real or Fake Daytona

[Kyu]

Still feels iffy, if I had 6k I'd get a previously enjoyed sub at a ad or here on trf

6k sounds WAY to good to be true...run!

The card and serial match, I think the pics look legate.

This should be in the watchout section, anyway the mods will likely move it later, no way can you buy this watch for 6k sorry, the lec concerns me a lot, can you get some more close ups, you may not get the watch in the photos also.

(Unless both my AD and justrolexes are selling me fakes! )

It doesn't seem fake but then again hard to tell from pics!! Also the R's look like they line up perfect with the hour markers on the 6 to 12 side and the X's line up perfect with the hour markers on the 12 to 6 side and its hard to grind a fave with that usually they don't line up. Also everyone always say there is no way to buy a rolex at a bargain but I got my gmt IIc for 2k box papers and everything also had it opened at Mayors and its all good so bargains do come along sometimes!!!!

watch looks good but are you really buying a daytona or buying a picture of a daytona?

I would never dump 6K based on these pics. Sure the side dishes (box, labels, tabs, etc) look very good but I am yet to see a decent pic of the dial or bezel. This could be the trick You never expect a fake in such nice surroundings. Walk away as fast as you can.

Might ask for more pics from the seller !!

Yeah but it's not that cut and dry.
There are hoops to jump through and a lot of B.S. before you actually get your money back

[ROGERWILCO357]

So true you get that ooh half the price I would be a fool to pass that up I could flip it make money on it etc etc..if so why is it here and now at half price? I would pass…

Yeah, but you have a macro shot and the other has the flash light refraction technique. Both are common ways to photograph and see the LEC. The third picture is not using any particular technique, just a normal photo.
I find it incredibly difficult to photograph mine so for me that looks to out in the open, almost visible on purpose.
I'm not en expert on photographing but I'll stand by my opinion that it's not good.

Cannot see anywhere that the price is only 6K only what he says that the prices normally sell on the auction site for around 60% retail.Now this watch could exceed the normal 60% because its a Daytona but agree always buy the seller.Picture looks fine but the proper place to discuss anything about watches thats anyone is not sure of is the watch out forum.
