Here are photos of my old daytona on croc strap. Also as mentionedthe watch was extremely heavy, for something on a strap.

i will post better pics later :) and i will also take an acid test on bracelet and watch to check if the gold is real :) if it is, then it´s not a fake :)

Dan, I for my part cannot tell whether it's real or not from those pics. Only thing I noticed is that the watch has "Skinny Hands" (not the fat ones of today, like on the WG Daytona you once owned.

As previously suggested, take it to an AD and have him inspect the movement.

Best of luck with this!

You have a valid point there, Terry!

Not necessarily. As suggested a few times, open it up.

Does it have the gold assay markings? What about original papers?

Take macro pics in natural light of the lug backs as well as the dial, pushers, strap and deployment.

Seems like the watch does have "hallmarks". But those can be faked, too.

WatchOut section??

danny-k · 7 June 2008, 01:52 AM

it´s confirmed :) it´s real. or else the entire watch and deployment clasp etc is in gold and the rest fake. :)

shoppy · 7 June 2008, 02:27 AM

cdelgado1982 · 7 June 2008, 02:45 AM

I would not buy a questionable 12k watch without having a AD open it.

shoppy · 7 June 2008, 03:00 AM

So has it been opened? You mention the case, deployment claps is in gold but the rest?

That doesn't confirm anything...IMHO.

I am hoping that you are correct and that this is an OK buy. Please let us know when it gets verified by an authorized dealer.

c70convertible · 7 June 2008, 01:55 PM

believe this to be fake or counterfeit. your so called friend is no friend at all.

Can you find him and get your money back?

danny-k · 10 June 2008, 08:18 AM

That's great news! Next time verify the watch before you plop down the cash!

RLX-lvr · 10 June 2008, 08:39 AM

I'm very happy to hear the good news.

Lesson learned.

Welshwatchman · 10 June 2008, 08:45 AM

The dial really looked spot on in all the photos so it's a big relief to read that it is a genuine watch, just a bit "loved".

redshirt1957 · 10 June 2008, 08:52 AM

A good lesson for us all to remember. Glad it worked out for you.

danny-k · 10 June 2008, 09:51 AM
