Daytona C
Hi All,
Been chasing the DayC for the better part of a year now. Found an independent in Glendale CA that has one black dial. Here's the pic they sent me. Font spacing of the ROLEX and OYSTER PERPETUAL looks suspicious. All pictures I've seen have the "R" in Rolex over the "S" in Oyster. Will have a better idea once I can see this in the metal. Does this look weird to anyone else? I've never purchased from this dealer before but he's a referral by a business friend. Thanks in advance.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here's a black D500 on davidsw's site:
https://davidsw.com/product/rolex-11...ytona-ceramic/ I agree with you. The font and spacing looks very wrong in that pic. Beware. |

definitely agree about the letter spacing,
also Bad picture, plastic covering is distorting a bit...doesn't look quite right but can't say for sure.

Fake. I'd have a serious conversation with that independent dealer.

The bezel is 100% fake. The fonts are much cleaner on the DaytonaC
