It's fake ... and not even close ....

Markg · 21 March 2008, 05:04 PM

can you explain how you can tell its fake? on most of these they dont look quite right to me, but im not sure of exactly what im looking at....and would like to be able to tell as well.

I'll take a pot shot

1. the 3 silver subdial circles are too thick.
2. at the bezel's 3 o'clock location, the 240 is horizontal. On diamond dial daytonas, the 240 should be vertical.

Hi Markg
I'm no expert compared to a lot of forum members,but I can start the ball rolling.
Firstly,the dial of a Daytona didn't have what appears to be "Diamonds" on it.
Secondly, again on the dials you have got the figures 15,30 & 45 at the appropriate place,on a genuine Daytona,they have raised luminous raised batons.
Also the chronograph dials don't seem quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Over to other members to come up with the rest.

There are diamond dialed daytona's. I googled and found this:

Unfortunately this sample is too blinged to show the normal bezel.

The bracelet center links appear solid- aren't they supposed to be hollow?

Probably a hi-jacked account. Nothing sold for almost a year. Then sell a high demand watch for no minimum. If I was to guess it was a gift and he doesn't know much about watches.

I cannot believe that there are this many bids on this...absolutely ridiculous!
