It probably is a fake, but I haven’t owned a Daytona myself and I cannot see any obvious tells, other than a really dirty crystal! Apologies if I’m coming across as naive. I’m a genuine contributor...
Definite fake, then?
Apologies for the slight thread hi-jack, but it seems fairly relevant! Does this look like a replica and if so, what stands out to you? Someone is passing it off as genuine. They may well be right...
I don’t think I’ll be sinking any cash into watches for the time being. I’d absolutely love an AP ROO of some description, but I can’t see their values crashing anytime soon.
I reckon there will...

My Bell & Ross BR03-94 Blue Steel in the sun ... :)
The dial colour changes massively depending on the ambient light!

Mine arrived earlier this afternoon; blue case, blue bezel, blue handset, black dial, and a navy Arpin wool strap ...
Funnily enough, my TAG Heuer Link Calibre S developed a -/+ 1 second wobble in...
I run a watch page on Facebook and one of my followers/readers has asked a really interesting question regarding a post on the Breguet Classique 5157 ...
The dial is made from solid yellow gold,...
I pop in there from time to time; the staff are always friendly and willing to assist with trying on watches!
I was there a few weeks back - It’s still going through a major re-development. It...
I believe there was also an offer to refer 5 friends to the KS page and receive a second strap for free. The method of sharing the KS page with 5 friends didn't work, but I had already mentioned the...
It's snowing! As such, show us your best pictures of your watches in the snow ... This is my latest piece, earlier this morning. A Bell & Ross BR03-94 Blue Steel!
...
That! Thanks Normunds! Can you recommend a good independent to carry out the work? :)
Apologies - If wound by hand (or via movement) and worn, it runs and keeps time. However I haven't had a chance to measure it's accuracy throughout the day. However if I take it off, it stops after...
Oh! :( It runs fine when wound ... From 8am this morning, it's keeping time. Does it still sound as though it's a broken mainspring?
I think my Planet Ocean is somewhat unhappy. It's been faultless up until the last few days, where I noticed the power reserve has greatly reduced. I took the watch off at around 6pm on Friday...
Devonian, it would still be enjoyed! I'm not a huge Rolex fan myself, but I've always admired the Explorer II and as others have said, it's probably better than leaving cash in the bank. It certainly...
Whoa?! That's incredible! What's the model number for this particular piece?
Apologies – I know this is a frequently asked question and no one has a crystal ball, so it’s difficult to recommend something that may or may not happen in the future! However let’s say I had £4-5K,...
The original model also had differing bezel edge designs depending on which size variant you opted for. As you can see above, the 42mm has jagged teeth on the circumference of the bezel. I bought the...
Sorry to go completely off topic - Darren, you have a PM! :)
It seems quite a few users here dislike it, many of them knocking Biver and the fact it looks a bit similar to a Hublot:

Thanks for all your replies so far - It makes for some pretty interesting reading ...
I think some people might be surprised at how young some collectors are! I know on the Pistonheads forums that...
I understand that 99% of watches are considered bad investments, with the exception being particular Rolex pieces and Patek Phillippe. However there is no denying that Rolex RRP prices have increased...
