If you are serious...then do not buy this cheap Chinese counterfeit watch.

1st item to look at are the 3 sub dials. Read what they have written on them compared to a real Daytona.

Buy your friend a cup of coffee in exchange & then toss that puppy in a dumpster before someone is fooled for real coin.

If you are truly interested in buying a Rolex, then spend a little bit of time looking at real ones. If you do then you'll instantly be able to recognize your friend's as crap.

Or, if the only reason you're considering a Rolex is because someone is giving you a once-in-a-lifetime deal, then be assured it's still a fake.

I passed through Chennai on a business trip.

There is definitely an AD in Spencer Mall in Chennai, and also a vintage watch place as well. Lots of re-dials at the vintage place, you need to know what you are looking for. However, some downright bargains
