Suspect listing - Daytona (of course)

No activity since Feb 2008. Account established in Germany and a lot of german feedback.

However, the listing states the location as Athens, Alabama.

Careful on this one

This sale makes little sense as he is claiming to have the box and papers and none are shown. The pictures only show the head of the watch and one of the pictures looks like it does not belong with the group.

Err buddies...the WHITE 116520 Daytona watch depicted in the pictures...looks OK.

BUT that's about all Orchi can say about it...
The rest of the issues pertaining to legitimacy of the listing...
n the integrity of the Seller...are seen to be highly doubtful...

Err buddy Stan...for current 116520 Daytona series which has already the improved in-house
Rolex Cal. 4130 movement...as compared with its predecessor 16520 series that
has the Zenith 400(or Rolex 4030) "El Primero" movement...

The Hands are Fatter...
The Luminous markers are Fatter...as well.

Here are a couple of examples of 116520 Daytona watches...

Maybe that's how Buddy Orchi chooses to protect the band when not in use.

I went to look at it again and it is no longer there. Did Stanley purchase this watch?
