Is it real? Rolex Daytona 24hr

[Ricklopez1]

Hello All,

I've been on the hunt to purchase a watch. I came across this ad recently and the seller is willing to take accept a good price on it. It's a Rolex Daytona with 24hr Daytona engrave on the case back. No box or papers and the bracelet is broken. Based on the photos I am asking for the opinion of the group. Is it real? Should i stay away or pres forward. Seller also says the watch is white gold.

Serial # F432117

It's horrible...another race car driver forced to sell his winning watch!

A real race winner would cost you $100,000+ and if it were much less and still real, then its most likely stolen since only 3-4 per class win, per year are given out. An F serial is from 2003 so unless it came directly from one of the winning drivers in that year then its a fake.

So, it is a real Rolex with a fake engraving or does it look like a complete fake?

Pictures posted are not good enough to evaluate the watch but most of the time, those with engravings are fake. Read post #4 in this link for your answer.

The hour markers @ 5 and 7 that have fallen off the dial and are rattling around in the case might be another clue, lol.

OP: Yes, the entire watch is complete garbage, just like 99.9999% of all other "Wiener" Daytonas out there. The serial number given is also bogus, and commonly used on many counterfeit Rolexes.

Some friendly advice. If you want to buy a second hand watch and you are considering this particular piece, then you should probably take some time to do a considerable amount of research. There are many fakes and scams out there.

Can't wait to hear what the "good" price is?

You couldn't pay me to take it.

Actually, Let me have it. I'll make a Youtube vid of it getting smashed!

To pay you never crossed my mind.
