Icon5 Rolex Daytona 116500LN White - Real?

I found this on eBay and it is currently on bids.

Is this real?

Furthermore the instructions are for the GMT... I would strongly recommend you to stay away.

Yeah this is not real. The font on the dial has all the common markings of a medium quality fake watch. Stay far away.

Bidding on a 1 feedback eBay seller of a $20k watch? With no "card" (lost in robbery lol), and one year of warrantee left (watch hasn't even been out three years lol)? Um.....it's your money, but maybe eBay isn't the place you should be looking.

These fake movements are getting closer and closer to the real thing.

The giveaway on this is that there is a regulator/curb pins on the balance bridge. Genuine 4130 movements have a free sprung balance.

Many other subtle differences

Biggest red flag straight away for me before I even looked at the watch is the green tag.

Should be modern style white one.

The bezel is what gives this away to me. The "3"s specifically are not right.

I wouldn't trust anyone with a screen name like that! "haha_3994"?? He's already laughing at you before he rips you off!

2 different watches in pictures, sub dial hands are different color
Love the GMT II manual for a Daytona.

Agreed. That's always the first giveaway. Screw sizes are off in many locations and finishes on the rotor and bridges are never great. Close but not great.

Come on, just look at his feedback.

Would you buy a 20k watch from a seller with one feedback?

Also reported! (I can't believe this actually has bidders)

-Additionally, his description was painful to read.

Consider yourself very lucky. Until you get more knowledge you should only buy from AD or TS.

Even if the watch is legit, I wonder about the legitimacy of the sale. I'm curious as to why it says "No UK bidders" in the auction. If it limited the auction to bidders in a certain country, then I'd be less concerned. But saying that bidders must reside outside the country where the item is located strikes me as odd.

Wait, what?! When I click on it it's still a link to a black dial Daytona (appears to be stock photo) from a UK seller.

How weird.
Mine takes me to the link I gave a DATEJUST

Your link is a scam too.
