Daytona 16528 inverted 6 4 liner 200 bezel real or fake
Hello, I have an opportunity to buy this one very cheaply, which is why i’m curious if its all ok? ive seen tens of solid gold fakes, all of which were miles away from gen ones, and none had proper hands working. This looks good to me but who knows. I cant get a pic of the movement unfortunately so this is the only set of pics available
Sorry but i cant get these urls to work |

Let the seller put it on a scale, weight will be an instant tell... There are no high quality fakes around of this reference, especially with plated / wrapped gold. Details look good from my side, the real question now is whether the seller is actually in possession of the watch.

From the poor pictures looks ok, but I’d like to see better pictures to be 100%

There is 14 links, I don’t know the factory count. Owner doesnt know much about the watch- he put it for sale after his friend- its owner died in a motorcycle crash, he’s helping his wife that way. But he has a good selling story he runs a business selling audio hi fi, doesnt have any problem meeting at his address, doesnt sound like a scammer. But the watch is less than half its value so im suspicious, oh and it is located in Czech republic, and there are some quality fakes around there hard to distinguish (ww2 militaria) i hope they havent mastered watches yet...

- Motorcycle crash story - watch 50% below market value. - location (why doesnt the guy look for a local buyer? Rolex watches sell everywhere on this planet) - strange pictures... did he provide you with a picture of the watch with current date and czech newspaper? If not, ask for it. After receiving the image use some online tools / reddit board's to check the it for signs of digital forgery. Some further suggestions - call his neighbors or shops nearby and ask if they know the seller - come with (hidden) entourage to his place. don’t have the cash money on your body or elsewhere close to yourself until you inspected the watch - chose a local AD for the transaction if possible |

Its very near my country border, no AD within hundreds of kilometers and the market to sell such a watch is better in my country so thats not abnormal. I reserved the watch quickly so he withdrew the ad, he didnt even describe it as a Rolex Daytona just a gold 18k watch, and by the phone he sounds reasonable his company exists and hes been selling for like 14 years on that classfield site

I’ve been working in the field of IT-Security for almost 20 years now and i know all the scam stories, all the angles. Your scammer’s approach is not even particularly good though, he is trying to lure you into the tx with your own greed. Don’t fall for it. I mean just think about this; this guy inherited the watch from a friend who died in a motorcycle accident. he doesn’t seem to care for the model number or brand of the watch. They have internet in the Czech Republic and all he has to do is ask for the value of a gold watch in an online forum. Instead he uses an online classified ad to sell the watch for 50% below market price. The story doesn’t add up, proceed with extreme caution and without hope of actually getting the watch... |

Obviously you would be wise to proceed with extreme caution and do your due-diligence, especially with a piece as (potentially) valuable as this. I'd want to speak with the seller over the phone to get a read on him (and verify that it's a legit number, and not a VOIP/Google Voice number). You might ask for a couple photos with a specific configuration/time set/background/etc. to prove he actually has the piece in his possession and not just scamming with pirated pics from the internet. I'd want to confirm it is not stolen either, so you would need the SN. If everything checks out, I'd still want to pay via CC or PayPal, even if it meant covering the additional fees. YMMV. Good luck. |

If you feel confident, go meet up first (without money). Looking forward to what happens!

Its 18kt gold
But crown is marked 3 dots same size for SS? I have only personally seen TT cases with incorrect crown marking. PS - you realize this is the ZENITH movement nit inhouse 4130 A

As mentioned, the only oddity (for me) is the dial. I've never seen that particular dial with a "no tick" layout. They may exist, but I've seen plenty of them and they have all had the "T Swiss Made T" lower on the dial, spanning 7 half-ticks. |

Dot size can vary depending on metal, and/or if it's a newer monobloc vs. non-monobloc version. |

On earlier TT DATEJUSTS they had a single bar indicating SS rather than 2 dots, this has now reverted to correct 2 dots In OP example its gold triplock and should be 3 dots with middle dot larger, this watch has a SS marking That to me (anyway) is an anomaly Regards
