Daytona has arrived!

[nickb732]

That Daytona is as fake as it gets.

[bdex75]

Oh dìos mio. 😵

Did one think this would fly at The ROLEX Forum???

And if OP paid genuine prices for these, I feel bad.

Doubt he did. His lack of response tells me what I need to know.

Have a look at the rest of OP's "collection". The BLNR's bezel looks bad. I think we have a serial fake buyer here :

Wow. I canʻt speak to the OPʻs motivations, but I learned one thing from reading this thread. And itʻs that after admiring and studying many many pictures of authentic Daytonas on TRF, something just didnʻt feel right about the OPʻs wrist pics. Just a gut feeling that the dimensions of the watch were off.

At first, I thought it might just be the angle of the photo, but then the truth comes out. Iʻm grateful to TRF for all the things Iʻve learned on this forum. Iʻm wiser for it.

LOL, the Milgauss bezel is too big and the crystal too transparent.
Another fake from this poster, is there a Canal Street in Colorado?

I'm a little surprised this user hasn't been banned given all the fakes he's been posting.

[Old Expat Beast]

His DSSD thread is even more embarrasing: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=375908

Lol. If I had to guess, he's probably standing in front of a photo of the mountains in his pic! 😄

He hasn't logged on since 29/10 and I for one can't wait to hear the doozie that he will no doubt will come up with as a reason for all of this.

..... then I can ban him.

Now that there is funny!

[qadhi]

compared the folex and oops..

[Roger1079]

I saw the first post then continued reading and started scratching my head. Ray Charles could have spotted that fake. Were the congrats posts just to soften the blow assuming he didn't know when he bought it?

This can be determined in an instant. The left and right subdials are directly aligned with the 3 and 9 on the main dial, like a Zenith Daytona (165xx), but the hour subdial is incorrectly positioned at 9 instead of 6 like you would see in a more modern 4130 movement (1165xx). This error is very commonly seen in fakes.

I'm not sure that was the issue here. Genuine 1165xx Daytona's have the hour subdial at the 9 o'clock position, not the 6.

Unless I misunderstood... You are referring to the 6 and 9 WITHIN the hour subdial itself? I see. Fair enough.

[bayerische]

A fake DSSD from an AD? Must be a first.

[shay2nak]

I'm surprised fakes are even available for a watch so new.

[Old Expat Beast]

He hasn't posted since his Faketona was discovered. Doubt if he'll be back.

It's hard to describe this in words, so here are some pix of a 165xx and 1165xx. Note the position of the subdials relative to the 3 and 6 on the main dial. On the 1165xx it is closer to the main dial 10 than the 8. Also note the location of the hour subdial (at the main dial's 9 on the 1165xx and at the main dial's 6 on the 165xx). The fake on Ebay has the Zenith positioning of the subdials relative to the main dial but the subdials are not in the correct order for a Zenith.

116520 (cal. 4130):



16520 (Zenith):

More eBay junk with "I wanted one forever and bought from a dealer" narrative.

1. See thread for first time.
2. Open it.
3. Read congratulatory remarks on screen without scrolling down to discover major change in sentiment.
4. Chime in with congratulatory remark, and quickly move on to browse other threads in the same cursory manner.
