OMG... what in the world is this?
Was browsing thru this site... looking at some Omega restoration work that they have done. Then this watch caught my eyes... at first I thought it was YM... but thought they mis-labeled it. Click on the picture.... SHOCKER..
Can't believe someone would do this to a sub...

It had to be fake Daytona's start at just under 10,000 no one in their right mind would take a 10,000 watch PVD it making in not only worthless but unserviceable by Rolex. It had to be a fake.

Or more than likely a toy watch in black that looks like a daytona.

I guess I forgot to mention hers was encrusted with a diamond bezel so it was probably a fake. Dont think rolex will do a daytona diamond bezel

I'm not promoting, nor do I like the look but ProHunter does a nice job. They also sell for huge money at auctions like antiquorum.

If it has the look of a YM with the specs of a sub, what's not to like?

That watch needs to be hit with a hammer, very, very hard.
The people who perpetrated that abortion are profoundly stupid. I read the write-up on this monstrosity, and it's being sold as a piece that's relatively new, while the photos show sheet-metal end-links and drilled lugs. Plus they are talking about 'plastic bezel inserts' being used until the ceramics were introduced, etc.
