I took a (dumb) chance and bought this watch. I had it appraised locally and was told it is a fake. The seller swears her local dealer told her it is real. I realize these aren't great pictures. Any opinions ?

It is a FAKE...

AmbSteve · 5 September 2012, 09:30 AM

Any way they can take it back and return your money?

I plan on returning if the seller agrees. If not, it's off to small claims court.

I hate to ask this but how much did you pay?

I paid 7K. What specificially did you see to verify it isn't real ?

TimeToGo · 5 September 2012, 09:54 AM

Sorry, it is just a cheap fake..

sblerouge · 5 September 2012, 10:43 AM

She made $6700 (minimum) off you. Good luck, I hope you get this sorted out

rr-nyc · 5 September 2012, 11:32 AM

Oh my god, that's one of the worst fakes I've seen.

How you sent $7k to someone without at least comparing pics of authentic daytonas (thousands online) is beyond me.

I hope you get your money back

Move fast...and as others said horrible fake.

crowncollection · 5 September 2012, 11:49 AM

bad fake i hope you get your money back, as to what wrong with it, everything starting with the dial

bayerische · 7 September 2012, 07:18 PM

Ouch!

Sorry to hear this.

But you bought the Thai-beach edition daytona.

Watchmutt · 7 September 2012, 07:55 PM

That price was just too good to be true for TT Daytona.

onions · 7 September 2012, 10:03 PM

Sorry mate...but this definitely should not have the word 'Rolex' appearing anywhere upon it...

Suggest you visit a Rolex AD and hold a real one and all your questions will be answered...

All the very best with getting your money back!

robertneville · 7 September 2012, 11:00 PM

ouch. good luck getting money back.

pol · 9 September 2012, 12:04 AM

A very bad fake. I wish you well in getting your money back.

vintagewaferthin · 9 September 2012, 01:42 AM

i really hope you can get your money back for this pos. if you cant, as others said its off to court with it. i wish you the best of luck with this situation.

groundpounder_900 · 9 September 2012, 02:05 AM

I went through the ebay/paypal process and got my money back. For the record I did compare this to my real daytona and only saw minor differences. Quodos to my AD and you guys for recognizing this as a fake right away. I've got a lot to learn. The seller was nice about the whole process and didn't seem to know much about the watch. An interesting side note... he didn't want the watch back so I still have it.

groundpounder_900 · 9 September 2012, 02:08 AM

Another interesting fact. The fake one weighs more than my real one.

cajunron · 9 September 2012, 05:06 AM

Sorry to say, without a doubt counterfeit.

Of course he didn't want it back. He probably knows what it is!

I am glad you got your money back!

Good to hear you got your money back.

bayerische · 9 September 2012, 07:12 AM

If you still have it, smash it!

groundpounder_900 · 9 September 2012, 08:28 AM

I had the first one appriased by my local AD. The same person reviewed the second one and knew immediately it was a fake. As for the fake one I want to determine if it will work as an everyday watch (timex etc) or I should destroy it. I will remove Rolex from anywhere on it if I keep it. I do have my suspicions of the seller since he attempted to sell it to me for $500 after determining it was fake.

It's worth NOTHING ....

Something isn't adding up here... Maybe I'm just too suspicious

Those that choose to wear a Fake are not welcome here.
