I know it's easy to be smart with 20:20 hindsight but if I was going to part with $$$'s that were so important I would have checked it at the AD before I paid for it.

It's junk. If you read the back it says; "Ad Daytona." They could not get the spelling correct where it should have read "At Daytona".
This is absolutely a fake. Terry Newton

The "Rolex Daytona" pictured in this thread is 100% counterfeit. The reason counterfeiters get away with selling so many of these fakes is evidenced by the responses here.

Guys, in my Rolex book, this watch is quoted as being one of the very rare Rolexes. Only a few were thus engraved. Perhaps 4 or 5 only.
Each winner of the race was given one. So if its a real one, you now own a Rolex that is more valuable than a Comex SD. But if you check the $100 Daytona fakes from Hongkong, nearly every one of them has the Daytona wording on the back. The real ones (I have a photo in my book but I am currently on holiday in Aust) were engraved. The fakes were etched. The difference is that the engraved will be a deep grove with slightly rough finish in the groves where the engraving tip leaves swirl marks. With the etched version the depth will be virtually zero and the swirl marks missing. |

IF he took it to a AD, would they not confiscate it? If he has any chance of getting his money back, he might need the watch to return.

This was a hijacked post. The original poster disappeared from this forum long time ago and has not been heard from since. This was a sad tale. The post was resurrected today by another person asking if the watch they had, that was like the watch from the original poster, was a real Rolex. It is not and, is the same kind of fake the original poster had. It is a shame these are all over the place and make people believe they have something valuable. The "AD," instead of; "AT," is a dead give-away.
Folks, don't fall for these scams but, if you do, it's job security for all of us. We all are employed full-time by TRF to spot scams. My salary was recently enhance with a bonus and a bail-out. Thanks Steve. Salary - Nothing From Nothing Still Equals = NOTHING! ![]() ![]() ![]() Terry Newton

Fake Rolex
Shouldn't you be able to tell a fake by what is or isn't INSIDE the case too?
What should I look for in my SS 1992 Daytona Winner watch? Thanks. |

Hi Willard,
Welcome to the forum. On the back of the Daytona you should see engraved something like "Winner 24" then under that "AT DAYTONA 19XX", If by chance the engraving is "AD DAYTONA 19XX" then is is a fake. the best way is to take a couple of pictures and let the guys have a look. Cheers, Dave.

I hope you're actually kidding. But, that said if you're not, you've got yourself a 100% Genuine Fake that should be thrown into the bin.

Sigh. I guess you were serious. It has a misspelling on the case engraving. It is supposed to be AT not AD. Besides, the actual engraved Daytona watches given out at Daytona are very very rare, and it's highly unlikely that everybody and their brother actually has this watch. And there have been at least 50 of them on eBay this week alone (I'm exaggerating).

But that said, what does AD mean? It's supposed to say Winner AT Daytona, not AD Daytona. That's just a chinese fake. But that said, there should be no engravings on the caseback regardless of the watch. It's a cheap fake.
