Dayton Model 116523 Fake?

Hey Guys,

Looking at buying a Daytona, price is around $5,000. Wondering if anyone can spot it as a fake from this picture.

The watch is definitely real. However at 5k I would make sure it is not a scam. Lucky to get change out out of 8k on a good day for that piece IMHO.

i would assume the seller is using pictures of a real watch, but you will be sent a fake.

if its too good to be true, it is 99.9% of the time

I was going to say the same thing. That price alone is way off. Pass on this one.

Come on. 5K?

Watch in pics is good, but do you really think that's the watch you are going to get?

Pics stolen from wirelug on eBay.

If you're not buying direct it's most definitely a scam.

Perfect picture of a perfect watch...but you'll get sent a POS fake most likely.
