It's a pre-daytona

Don't risk your reputation on fleabay, esp if you are putting up something for sale in which you are not sure of its authenticity.

I think pre daytonas should look like this...

Daz, I think everyone has been pretty kind in their assessment and statements regarding your watch, so as not to offend.

But believe me a couple of guys jac67 and mike know vintage models like the backs of their hands, they eat sleep and breath Rolex, and have done so for many years, and I too would concur with their analysis.

I hope Terry and Steve are watching this. I see a Watchout!!! thread being generated if this goes on Ebay.

Sorry guys, got up 5am with my daughter today, AND my new watch just came in, so I'm a little dizzy.

Funny man. For a moment there, I thought you'd lost the plot!

Thank you kind sir.

We are all here to learn, so Daz don't take offence, just take some sound advice.........This watch is dodgy!

But like I said previously, post on VRF or even TZ. I'm sure you'll get the same answers, maybe a little less tactful though.

I appreciate all the input! Especially the African Prince story, I am sure it gave us all a good laugh.

I know it is not genuine, but it's a good one when you see it in the flesh! I am going to give it to a friend as a gift.

Cheers.

Now that we all know this piece of junk is a fake there is nothing more to be said about it.
The rules of this forum specifically detest fake watches so there is nothing further to be said.
Please do not post about this fake anymore.
Thank you
