If you read my previous response to the same question by another TRF member, I have described the difference between ENGRAVING and ETCHING.

The problem is that these fakes are quite well put together and have the right feel and weight. Many people who are not familiar with the Rolex Daytona end up purchasing these fakes.

Actually this fake is solid, has the right sweep movement and so on. Quite well made.

They sell for about US$100 in HK, Thailand and so on. Literally millions are now in the wild.

Don't get caught buying one of these. Deal with a reputed Rolex dealer and not an individual unless he/she comes recommended on TRF.

Ebay is not a good place as there are more fake Rolexes there than in all of London.
