So I did something today..

A little beaten up and missing two links this Daytona found a new home today.

I'm not one for on the dime purchased but I couldn't pass up the opportunity although the state of the watch isn't the greatest everything else is included with a little under 2 years left on the warranty.

Yeah I made a quick cash deal no hassle all the way through I have a firm stance on premiums so it was good enough that I couldn't pass it up

That is incredible. You did it the right way. Got yourself a stunner of a hot watch. Wear it in good health and enjoy.

Are you 100% certain that is authentic?

I'm looking at pictures of other gen ceramic Daytona's and the bezel fonts looks very different than yours.

Also... Are those shadows or gaps at the corners where the bracelet meets up the case near the 140 and 100 bezel markers?

Any time you can get a great deal on a traded commodity you should be extra suspicious. The pic quality probably isn't good enough to judge.

That bracelet looks off, either not gen or overly "polished". A lot of rounded areas that should be crisp

The pic quality is good enough to show the font on the bezel is way too thin.

I agree, I don't think it's legit.

I know. I don't disagree with you. I think something is off too. The space between bezel indicator triangles and numerals. Still want a well lit head on pic before worrying him if he's interested in the feedback.

The crown at 12 o'clock looks funny, but that could just be distortion/poor IQ. I hope for the OP's sake that we're wrong.

For what it's worth, there's only a couple of decent replicas out there. One brand looks off but has a working chrono. The other looks very good but does not have a functioning chrono.

Because there are countless red flags on that watch, I am more then happy to be wrong.

Bracelet does look odd.

Why the Italian cell tag if Canadian?
(ok, so could be an Italian in Canada...)

Perhaps there's a great explanation for all of the above concerns.

the pushers on his fake daytona is different from the real 116500 ln also look at his time stamp: 3:49 that watch is running way too slow because it is fake
