Real Daytona?

Hi all,

I am really not much at spotting fake rolexes and I would really like some help. My husband has been waiting on a blackface daytona for sometime and I think I may have found one. Before i pursue any further with the seller.. does anyone see anything strange in these pictures?

Pics look legit, but always buy the seller before the watch! Pictures can come from anywhere.

Do you know the seller? If local, ask him/her to meet you at a AD store to inspect the watch. Price?

I saw the same picture listed with 2 different companies:
topnotch watch and .rolex24h.com. The first company sells on ebay and the 2nd one has a sketchy past, I would suggest staying away from both of them. I also wanted to purchase it, but will wait.

Yep.

Rolex24h.com, on the other hand, is a Russian site which uses "borrowed" images, lists unbelievably low prices, and accepts only non-traceable and non-recoverable payment methods. Good luck, you'll need it.

I have an active FBI/Internet Crime complaint going against Rolex24h.com.

Topnotch Watch on E-Bay is very legitimate and I am annoyed that someone would post otherwise. I made a statement to that fact a couple of weeks ago when someone asked the same question. I believe if someone's reputation is questionable it should be posted for all to see.

Ont the other hand, if someone is legitimate I would be cautious in writing anything bad about them. Reputations are hard earned and can be tragically trashed in a heartbeat, especially with internet traffic being active today it would be a shame to have someone think badly about Top Notch Watches because someone misspoke.

Thanks for your advice!! After looking a little deeper.. I have seen these same photos twice!! once on ebay by topnotch watch (legit seller I believe) and again on www.rolex24h.com. There is no way that rolex 24h.com is a legit site! Is there any way to report them?

You may want to try http://www.demesy.com Joe Demesy is an authority on Rolex and has authored books on the subject.

Aside, I wish my wife was like you [agreeing to such a Rolex purchase that is!]

Good luck !!
