Hi again, what are the reasons it's a fake, other than the plastic band, no box no paper?

Ok the following pics show the watch from the auction :

The following two pics show a genuine TT daytona:

Οk so if we compare the two watches from the pics we can clearly understand which one is fake and which one is real. Some details that should be pointed out first on the genuine watch look how crisp and sharp are the writings on the dial whereas on the fake watch you can see the low quality printing that has been used. Take a look at the picture that shows the back of the bracelet. Take a closer look at the place where the bracelet connects to the case : At the genuine watch you can see a piece of gold there whereas at the fake watch the gold is been painted with some kind of marker it doesn't look like gold at all. Another thing that is common on all fake watches is the plastic wrapping around the bracelet and the incorrect hologram sticker. Basically these are the major things that made me spot this fake watch. Hope that my explanation was of help

Thanks! it's clear now. I can see more clues-
- the fake watch's has a different font on the seconds subdial, the "40" looks different to the real one.
- the arrow in the big second hand looks different to the real one.

For that matter the 4 in all places - along the bezel as well.

stevemulholland3 · 22 February 2008, 09:54 PM

it is amazing how many rolex's are given as gifts without boxes and paperwork.I see about 20 every week on e-bay with the same old story"this was a gift" and "I am no expert",then they try and say that it is "as-is" so when you find out it is a fake you will think you have to keep it.
these people are scum!

But the fake has an "18K" stainless clasp. Gotta get one of those.

Hellcat65 · 23 February 2008, 10:45 AM

Aside from the fact the pictures are crap..the gold looks way too yellow, etc...Im not debating the fact this is fake. But, normally on the fakes the sub dials line up with the 3 and 9 hours markers which is pretty much a dead giveaway...these look off center. Again, its a fake but Id like to know whats in it........

Plus the end pieces are stamped 455B which would be for a TT Jubilee band off of a DJ and the bracelet code is nonexistent. That real one with the white face looks sweet! Put some fat hands on that baby and hoochie mama!

I thought it was 18k gold wraped in stainless to protect the gold
