x2. My thoughts exactly. Obviously based on the description alone it's a fake. Don't even need pictures. And if the guy would just RTFT, then he would also come to the same conclusion as there is plenty of rock-solid information as to why it is a fake in the thread.

when words are MIS-spelled on the back of a Rolex, its gonna be FAKE.... get a grip dude.

AD = mis=spelled the word AT (also know as "@").

I'll use it in a few sentences.

I was AT a flea market and bought a FAKE Rolex Daytona with the word AT mis-spelled on the back of the watch. I went to the fleamarket AT the corner of main and 54th street and got my money back. On the way back I stopped AT the corner store and bought a 40 oz Schlitz Malt Liquor and took it to my girlfriends house. She wasn't there. She left a note. The note read " went to the fleamarket, I'll be back AT 5 pm."

Lesson to learn: When you drop $6k, get a second opinion FIRST. The AD (not to be confused with AT) should be able to validate the watch AT a reasonable price. Otherwise, you may be going to the University of Texas AT Arlington.

Hello Diablojota,

My name is armani, i'm new to the forum.

I have a question, In the website you provided it also says that some special edition daytona winner whatevers has the words Rolex Oyster original gas escape valve and are real. mine has that, as well as the AD i know you have stated that the AD is fake apparently but its very confusing as others have posted that it isnt, and others that it is. I just wanna know if its real or not, don't wanna take it to AD and it be fake because it was a gift from my grandmother and she loves to see me have it on whenever I visit. definitely wouldnt wanna tell her it was a fake and it got confiscated because of copyright issues, or what not.

thanks for your help or anyone elses who might be able to help!

- Armani

It's a fake. The Daytona never came with a Gas Escape Valve (only the Sea Dweller lines come with those). Also the AD is a misspelling on the fakes. Sorry, but it's not real.

armani · 7 May 2009, 01:05 PM

man, that's quite disappointing!
thank you anyways for the quick reply and your help!

You're welcome. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. Sorry for the disappointing news.

armani · 7 May 2009, 01:08 PM

Yeah, It was a gift from my grandmother I figured since she was rich it would have been real , its all good though!

thanks for your help!

Sorry Alex but as everyone said, you have a low level Chinatown knock off....

They typically don't run for a long time.

If you still don't believe us I would recommend taking it to an authorized Rolex dealer to get it checked.

Lol-x · 8 May 2009, 12:16 AM

Yes, I agree that is unfortunately a fake.

They were given to the winners of the Daytona race.

The ownership of everyone of these is documented by Rolex.

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.

Vernon · 11 May 2009, 08:14 AM

Hi everyone! I have a Winner at Daytona 1991 24...yes AT not AD. My question is about being SS, my states it is 18k. I had that tested and its plated. Does anyone know if Rolex plates its watches? Or whether all the Daytona winners are SS or some might be
18k?

Thanks in advance!

onkyo · 11 May 2009, 08:26 AM

Its not 18k.

Fake 18k to match the fake Daytona. But I think you know that.

Sorry Vernon.

Vernon · 11 May 2009, 08:30 AM

Thanks for your comment. We didn't buy, I have no desire personally...it was found and it is possible if it *was real* to belong to a racer. So that's why I was curious, I am going to take it to an AD just in case, but yes I think it's fake...but, it is made pretty darn good just the same.

Glad you did not pay for it.

Get it checked out to be sure. It will be what you expect it to be though.

Terry Newton · 11 May 2009, 09:03 AM

Why do we have all of these people coming here asking the same question over and over again?

Hey there GUYS-------YEAH YOU!

IF IT SAYS; " WINNER AD DAYTONA" IT IS A FAKE.

GOT IT! GOOD! NOW LEAVE US ALONE AND GO BACK TO WATCHING "24" THIS SEASON. IT'S ABOUT LOCAL, HOME GROWN TERRORISTS.

Lol just how many people have the same fake watch?

djhiram · 11 May 2009, 10:34 AM

All those watches pictured are fakes...where to begin? The gold has the wrong yellow tone (if that makes sense?) The hands are all wrong on both examples, and to top it off; the infamous "Winner ad (AT!) Daytona 24." This sounds just like those replica SD's out there that say something like "Oridinal Gas Escape Valve" LOL.

Sorry guys...the watches are fake.
