Just search for the 116520 on Chrono24 and compare the images; the dial should be an immediate tell

Nice to see an obvious fake for a change - some of them are getting extremely hard to identify as a fake nowadays!

Who can say real or fake or real anymore? I’m mean, one mans fake is another mans real. It’s such a topsy turvy world out there. I’d say real fake.

Holy cow... you could have just googled a picture of a 116520. This is WAY off. Does yours even have a 3 o'clock indices?

There’s definitely a 3 o’clock marker, issue is it’s just left of 7 o’clock

It’s amazing to see a camera that has such a specific defect as the one used here.

An inability to take a clear picture of a watch face yet a miraculous capacity to capture detail between the lugs.

The only thing it lacks is the 24 Hour Daytona Winner engraving on the back of the case.
