Guys can you help me out on this one. I have a two tone submariner, with a coin edge bezel and everything. Just about everything looks right on it, from the pictures I have seen. The only thing that makes me think it is not real, is that it says Invicta on the dial. Do you guys think it is a fake?

I'm sorry, i couldn't resist. You guys are nice though for answering those people's questions. I just feel bad that they got ripped off. That is never a good feeling.

Greed is what drives this insanity. Even people such as myself who have only fleeting moments of lucidity would realize that a watch so special will rarely, if ever be offered for sale let alone on Ebay or off the wrist of some kid in college.
If I saw a watch that had an engraving saying that the watch was given to Winston Churchill from Josef Stalin I believe this would concern me just a tad. If I noted that the watch was not manufactured in "Mother Russia" but was a Rolex I would then wonder if Joe would ever go buy a Swiss watch in the first place since the Swiss were neutral after all.
Lastly I would assume that just about any Moron would realize that pieces such as I just made up would be pieces of history and would more likely be in a museum and certainly not on FleaBay!

The Bezel's too big, wrong font for "Daytona", the outer ring on the sub dials are too big, clasp claims it's 18Ct, incorrect sticker on the case back.

This is what it should look like:

I have a WINNER AD Daytona 1992 24 and can't tell if it's real or fake. It was a present from my parents and was wondering if anyone could help me? I'm attaching 3 pics as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, ok.

Metal looks fake as well

Ste27 · 28 October 2009, 06:25 AM

Just try the pushers... guarantee on one of those "24 hour" watches they don't activate the chrono. Even though the face looks right, one will make one of the subdials advance 7 times and the other will make the other subdial advance 31 times. Second subdial is tied to the big second hand. Same movement as the "Daytona"s that show day & date on the subdial, just with a slight improvement.

alby.bda · 28 October 2009, 06:34 AM

sorry man is a fake

I am sorry to read about your situation

jezza17 · 15 November 2009, 10:19 PM

I would say it is a fake for sure. The hour and minute registers are centred lower on the dial then where they should be.

roller469 · 10 April 2010, 10:38 PM

this watch is 100 percent fake i just got one for 50 dollars in afganistan it would be cool to get 6000 for it should put it on e bay

springer · 10 April 2010, 11:48 PM

The Daytona is a complete counterfeit. Notice the back where it reads "AD" Should be "AT"

carssman · 5 December 2010, 05:49 AM

I am looking at one that does not say "T swiss made T" just "Swiss made" and there is no markings at all on the back.

Stainless model superlative chronometer daytona 16520.

Fake,, the guy says it was handed down from Gfather. stainless band.

Please advise..

Thanks

or direct me where I can tell it is real before purchasing.

steven214 · 9 October 2011, 04:25 PM

That is 100% fake b/c I have seen it in the black market.

The fake status of the 'Daytona AD 24 hours Daytona' should be put up as a sticky.

The real winners of this grail would be unlikely to part with it.
