    Rolex wall clock - legit?

    I've been offered a Daytona wall clock that was apparently used as part of a sponsorship event by Rolex. Any one know if these are real or not?

    I'm at work at the minute but will unscrew the back when I get home to have look. It's well made and put together which leads me to think it might be the real deal. Thoughts?

    Real as in it exists, not real as in manufactured by Rolex. They may have commissioned it for a marketing piece but more likely its one of these:

    Is there a waiting list?
    I'm only interested if there's a waiting list.

    Thanks guys. I'll screw off the back to have a look anyways. I was surprised that Rolex would do this but then I was surprised again that it's actually decent quality!

    It says Oyster Quartz on the back which I highly doubt it is

    2 years but if you ask to be added to the list I'll just laugh to myself and be quite rude.

    What are you hoping to find? The cheap Chinese movement is on display already.

    Forgot to add obviously not legit in the sense that you can buy from Rolex or it’s a Rolex movement etc.

    Doesn't look like the bezel lines up. I'd send it in for a Rolex service.

    Garage!!

    I for one would have one for the Garage for definate, the wife wouldn’t allow one of these inside the house!!!
    I thought dealers have this type or have had this type but once finished they go back to Rolex??
    These for some reason fetch quite a lot on some auctions if you include fees!! I’m not sure why??

    You do realise you have the super rare version with the pointy “4”. I hope it’s insured.

    I'm not sure you have to worry about these things being genuine. It's just a toy for the pool / games / man cave!

    Got it anyway. It's going up in the office.

    I see what Chris was saying though with the movement. I only had a really quick glance at it earlier

    I guess if you could acquire (legitimately of course) one of the ones from a tennis court or an F1 circuit you could hang it on a wall.
    Whether Rolex actually manufacture those themselves or not, they're not 'fake'.

    I was in Kuala Lumpur a couple of years back for the F1 at Sepang, there were loads of these things for sale out there in the markets. Virtually every sports model Rolex, Omega, Tag etc. From memory they were around 100-200 Ringits, depending on the model, but you could bargain with the traders anyway. Novelty value only me thinks.

    They have a few of these around the place inside in Wimbledon. Err... hang on!

    They had some nice Panerai ones in the 4 Seasons in Florence - I suspect they were "legit" although the movements were probably outsourced on those too...

    There was a nice Hublot one on Bond Street too but probably a bit big for the gargage wall !

    They are a bit of fun and pretty cheap and cheerful - definitley don't pay much for one though.

    Rolex wall clock - legit?

    Tachymeter bezel isn’t correct.
