Those are almost always fake...

.. as is that one..

The very first clue is that it would say "Rolex At Daytona"... if such an inscription was in English.. ("Rolex AD Daytona" means nothing)

But, on this one, the dial is also nonsense..... No Daytona has any day or date sub dials

Fake! Don't buy!

If it is a '92 winner's watch the dial is off. That dial belongs on WG Daytona, which didn't exist in 1992.

Also, Larry already explained the subdials too.


P.S. If they are going to pass it off as a real one, at least have the same era Daytona and not a WG....LOL!

Thx, I have asked the seller to visit an local dealer. He told me that he found the watch bla bla. So I become suspicious and was looking for some help.

Sorry to say this, but it is a very crappy fake one. You can tell by the engrave at the back as well as the sub dials, which are showing date, months, etc. RL Daytona does not have date/calendar function, it is a chronograph watch.

Wow... Where do I begin with this one?

Since when does a Daytona have a HEV? (Check out the writing on the case back)

run away! its fake as everyone has said. I have seen ONE real daytona with that engraving and it was one the wrist of a driver that actually WON the race! I have season tickets to the washington caps..and he occasionally comes to games with the guy who has seats right next to mine. He showed me the photo of him receiving the watch. sure enough, he has THAT BOX. the presentation box with the HUGE LOGO....

I have a good friend who has MC'd the Rolex 24 Daytona and his did not come with that sticker on the back.

That sticker is a total bogus.

Chinese have employed with this faux Daytona?!!!!

OR NOT!

Here is a link to a real one if you like that. If sold from here, it will not be fake.
