Help! Rolex Daytona 16520 A serial Black Dial Stainless Steel

Hi All,

Kindly ask for your help to identify if the Daytona is real.
They look real with box and papers on the pictures.

Since I am no expert in Daytona and this is a A series 16520, I really hope this is a good catch.

Thanks all.

Looks good to me. However, the only way to make sure is to open the case back and have a look at the movement.

Good Luck..

I found out the item was a good one, it was just the seller is not ([email protected]). He said his name was Shane from New Zealand.
I suspected something fishy with Sing$ 7500 for an A series 16520.

I asked for a reference I could check and he gave these:
[email protected]
[email protected]
watch_buy @hotmail.com

I check further and found that this guy was a fake one. Previously he used PlatinumWatches name:
http://www.rolexforums.com/archive/i.../t-143988.html or
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=143988

Looks like he stole the pictures from other sites too.
No short cuts in this world...*sighs* and the hunt continues...

Yea, couple of us here encountered this guy in the past as well. Thanks for notifying us all!! Be careful and do your due diligence. A lot of good people in this community but also a lot of scammers.

Best,
Jon
