Hi all, I'm new to the forum, but I would like to ask you for help. I was offerd this watch.But before I purchase I would like to ask for your opinion if they are real or fake. I have uploaded some pictures, can you please help. regards Roman

Tools · 12 August 2009, 05:35 AM

Those are almost always fake...

.. as is that one..

The very first clue is that it would say "Rolex At Daytona"... if such an inscription was in English.. ("Rolex AD Daytona" means nothing)

But, on this one, the dial is also nonsense..... No Daytona has any day or date sub dials

Brunotheboxer · 12 August 2009, 05:39 AM

Wow.

Omega_Precision · 12 August 2009, 05:40 AM

Fake! Don't buy!

If it is a '92 winner's watch the dial is off. That dial belongs on WG Daytona, which didn't exist in 1992.

Also, Larry already explained the subdials too.

P.S. If they are going to pass it off as a real one, at least have the same era Daytona and not a WG....LOL!

heresiarh · 12 August 2009, 05:41 AM

Forget everything, just look at the SUPER HUGE rolex logo on the face .. $25 fake.

DadsWatch72 · 12 August 2009, 05:45 AM

Too bad its fake. Good catch guys.

Roman Opocensky · 12 August 2009, 05:45 AM

Thx, I have asked the seller to visit an local dealer. He told me that he found the watch bla bla. So I become suspicious and was looking for some help.

alphamale2012 · 12 August 2009, 05:58 AM

Its a 1992 and has rolexrolexrolex????

Dr.Godzilla · 12 August 2009, 05:59 AM

Sorry to say this, but it is a very crappy fake one. You can tell by the engrave at the back as well as the sub dials, which are showing date, months, etc. RL Daytona does not have date/calendar function, it is a chronograph watch.

Dr.Godzilla · 12 August 2009, 06:00 AM

And I just notice, it even has the "original gas valve" engraved at the back.. wow!

djhiram · 12 August 2009, 06:00 AM

Wow... Where do I begin with this one?

Since when does a Daytona have a HEV? (Check out the writing on the case back)

TheVTCGuy · 12 August 2009, 06:08 AM

I'm sorry for the dissapointment Roman, but please, join us here at TRF! Ownership of a Rolex is not a requirement and this is a great place to have a lot of fun!

Roman Opocensky · 12 August 2009, 06:12 AM

nothing stopping you buying it still... just give him $20 for it...

valentine · 12 August 2009, 06:24 AM

run away! its fake as everyone has said. I have seen ONE real daytona with that engraving and it was one the wrist of a driver that actually WON the race! I have season tickets to the washington caps..and he occasionally comes to games with the guy who has seats right next to mine. He showed me the photo of him receiving the watch. sure enough, he has THAT BOX. the presentation box with the HUGE LOGO....

Roman Opocensky · 12 August 2009, 06:25 AM

OK, I will try : ) ) ) )

Idle Swede · 12 August 2009, 06:31 AM

I have a good friend who has MC'd the Rolex 24 Daytona and his did not come with that sticker on the back.

That sticker is a total bogus.

openwheelracing · 12 August 2009, 06:40 AM

jtsjc1 · 12 August 2009, 06:45 AM

Look at the sloppy engraving too. The letters aren't lined up!

openwheelracing · 12 August 2009, 06:53 AM

I really want a SS Daytona with red second hand......even though it's fake, I like it hahahaha

snow_rocks · 12 August 2009, 07:05 AM

Maybe Rolex should consider these design modifications that the

Chinese have employed with this faux Daytona?!!!!

OR NOT!

heresiarh · 12 August 2009, 07:09 AM

please, that is one ugly watch ... if you want to get a daytona, get the real thing. i mean just look at how terrible the face of this watch looks ....

Brushpup · 12 August 2009, 07:58 AM

Here is a link to a real one if you like that. If sold from here, it will not be fake.
