Daytona Question

Silly question....

Does the Daytona sub dials indicate Day, Date, and Month? I have never looked at one up close at an AD to verify. My boss walked into work sporting a what looks like a white gold Daytona on a brown alligator strap. I got a close look at it yesterday and it had the sub dials listed above. I do not think it is authentic. He is very proud of it and flaunts it. If it is not authentic it will just reenforce my assessment of him.

LOL!!! Here ya go, Tom...take a look at the picture below. The Sub-dials read as follows:

- 6 o'clock position is the normal second hand sweep.
- 3 o'clock position is the MINUTE totalliser.
- 9 o'clock position is the HOUR totalliser.

Sorry no day date or month! Try not to ask him if its authentic or not it might offend him... Instead let him has his 15 min in fame you know?

Tom, the Day, Date, Month versions are the cheapest and lowest quality of the Chinese counterfeit Daytona's.
