Zeinth Daytona question

[azn022785]

I just got a email from my wanted post from another website and he claims he has F-series daytona for 6950. So I asked for pictures and he send me the zeinth daytona pictures. And here is the pics he send it to me






So I asked him for pictures of boxes and papers which he claims to have. Do you guys think this is a scam or he just don't know what he has. He also offered 7 days money back with credit card.

What do you guys think??

woops, seems loading took too long, sorry.

[azn022785]

Sorry about that I fixed it now.

I think it is a scam!

"F series" and "Zenith Daytona" don't match!

Why? Since "F" is 2003 and the Zenith Daytona was discontinued in 2000!

Now to the picture:

Looks like the real thing, and it sure shows a "Zenith" Daytona 16520 with the cal. 4030 mvt.

Hmm! I don't think you will get what you see!

Also, note it has TRITIUM markers! Nothing wrong with that, but it would make that 16520 very early!

Sorry, but I would like hell!

Oh, and btw: an SS Daytona 16520 (even it that scratched condition) for US 6,950 would be "cheap as chips"! 16520ies are going for a lot more money these days!

Well, as you say 'on another forum', he'll probably know the prices so might be fishy yeah.
Dial seems ok for my limited knowledge, bezel and buttons too guys?

That's why I posted here because it was too good to be true.
If he is local and wants face to face deal, I would take him to the nearby RSC to verify its authenticity. If not I'll run like hell.

1) Which one of them? Since often it is used in plural: brains

2) On second thought: No, won't lend it to you if you would use it in your head and bang your head against the wall

When I lend things out, I want them back in the same condition!

Bo's right. The Zenith 4030 Daytona was discontinued at the end of 2000, replaced by the 116520 with the in-house 4130 movement. The photos you posted are of a Zenith Daytona.

I would treat it/them the same as I would treat mine, whiskey, gin, cigarettes and no exercise whatsoever.
Sounds good?

To get back on topic, so the guy is making the serial up or am I missing the point?

[azn022785]

So guy just emailed me back saying he is a online reseller and works for local Rolex company in Boston. And will only take credit card for transaction for safety and will send me the invoice too. I thought it was too good to be true. He also said pictures are limitless, whatever that means. So I think I'll have to run away from this low dirt bag scammer.

Thanks you guys for informative replies and advices.

Suggests he has got the actual watch so he can provide whatever picture you ask for?

[azn022785]

Now the seller is claiming that his pics weren't his and sending me the new pics and says it is the exact watch up for sale. F-series









Funny thing is I notice fat hands on the first pics and last one has the skinny hands
Anybody smell fishy???

[nch209]

When in doubt........,,, know what I mean. Here is my opinion- bear in mind I am selling a BNIB Z SS Daytona. First, the price seems off, and just the questionable feeling many of us are getting would make me run.

I am doing my best to have a good sale on my own deal, and must admit I am bombarded with scammers who wanna steal from me, then tons are great people with honest offers. (Just like fishy people trying to sell junk and scam.) Just dont get taken for a ride. What I am getting at, is kindly ask for up to date pics, and more info before you shell out cash! Usually when you ask to check out the piece in person, like at a local AD, the scammer RUNS!!! LOL

Best of luck!

Is it me?

So a reseller of Rolex is not completely aware of what he was selling and sending the wrong pictures?

This is a gorgous Daytona Zenith dial but it's not going to be the one you get if any. These go for a ton and prices are going up fast. His price is a joke and he's a scammmer. =) maverick
