Invicta speedway

Out of these choices what looks most like the Daytona?
Which could be mistaken from a distance?

To someone that knows what a Daytona looks like? None.

To the average person that knows nothing? All of them.

What are you really asking here?

I think the real question is which one should a poser buy.

A poser? Some can't afford the Daytona or get one at all

They all look pretty good to me, for about $30,000 less than the over hyped and over priced Rolex.

Don’t take it to heart. Rolex lookalikes and homages are not appreciated on this forum, particularly where it is blatantly obvious. They are also known for questionable marketing practices where the MSRP for their products are set really high and discounted significantly to fool the consumer into thinking they are getting a great deal.

That being said, their watches that utilize Seiko and Miyota movements aren’t half bad and are pretty solid mechanical watches for people who can’t afford to drop more than a few hundred on an unnecessary expense.

To answer your question, the TT white dial is probably the one that most closely resembles a Daytona albeit from a long stones throw away. You won’t be fooling any watch enthusiasts though.

Thanks for the great answer
