Please help- is this fake?

There is a person in the forum email me these pictures for a Daytona selling at msrp. It is too good to be true. And the watch looks fake.

It means do your research on the person selling the watch, not just the watch itself. Ask for references on past transactions etc.

Be cautious. Is the sender TRF forum member? There are many scammers out there.

Focus on photos Needs To Be Crisp And Sharp. Different angles and don't forget the back for a nice look at the end links. At least one Hi Res Photo of the dial Straight On.

No need for pics...that's a waste of time. No one on a watch forum is reaching out to you to sell you a Daytona C at list.

Where are you NARS . You have been exposed and caught. I hope the forum is looking at the account to prevent a crime from happening. My guess this person has multiple accounts.

No one is stupid enough to PM members to sell the hottest watch at MSRP.

Which Rolex are you referring to as you are not the OP, unless you have more than one account and forgot which one you used

Funny how sales photos are often "just a bit blurred".

How difficult is it to make/retake a good photo!

Be suspicious, be very suspicious. (Always, as a rule).

Regardless if the photo is of a real or fake Daytona, I have a strong feeling no matter what, you'll never see a watch or hear again from the seller if you wire any money to them.
Run away, quickly. Not worth the hassle.
