Guys can you help me out on this one. I have a two tone submariner, with a coin edge bezel and everything. Just about everything looks right on it, from the pictures I have seen. The only thing that makes me think it is not real, is that it says Invicta on the dial. Do you guys think it is a fake?
I'm sorry, i couldn't resist. You guys are nice though for answering those people's questions. I just feel bad that they got ripped off. That is never a good feeling.

Greed is what drives this insanity. Even people such as myself who have only fleeting moments of lucidity would realize that a watch so special will rarely, if ever be offered for sale let alone on Ebay or off the wrist of some kid in college.
If I saw a watch that had an engraving saying that the watch was given to Winston Churchill from Josef Stalin I believe this would concern me just a tad. If I noted that the watch was not manufactured in "Mother Russia" but was a Rolex I would then wonder if Joe would ever go buy a Swiss watch in the first place since the Swiss were neutral after all.
Lastly I would assume that just about any Moron would realize that pieces such as I just made up would be pieces of history and would more likely be in a museum and certainly not on FleaBay!

The Bezel's too big, wrong font for "Daytona", the outer ring on the sub dials are too big, clasp claims it's 18Ct, incorrect sticker on the case back.

This is what it should look like:

Icon5 Is this Rolex real or fake?

I have a WINNER AD Daytona 1992 24 and can't tell if it's real or fake. It was a present from my parents and was wondering if anyone could help me? I'm attaching 3 pics as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just try the pushers... guarantee on one of those "24 hour" watches they don't activate the chrono. Even though the face looks right, one will make one of the subdials advance 7 times and the other will make the other subdial advance 31 times. Second subdial is tied to the big second hand. Same movement as the "Daytona"s that show day & date on the subdial, just with a slight improvement.

I would say it is a fake for sure. The hour and minute registers are centred lower on the dial then where they should be.

The Daytona is a complete counterfeit. Notice the back where it reads "AD" Should be "AT"

The fake status of the 'Daytona AD 24 hours Daytona' should be put up as a sticky.

The real winners of this grail would be unlikely to part with it.
