New watch

Managed to pick up a second hand Rolex Daytona this weekend, few slight scratches that stand out with the flash but you can't notice them whilst wearing it, recently had a service with Rolex too.

All those photos and not one on your wrist?!

Looks good, I aspire to one

Is it any good at recording time?

You don't buy a watch like that to wear. You buy it to post a picture of it on a pc forum.

Would that warrant the price?

It looks to be in quite poor cosmetic condition based on the pics. You were had if you paid £5.5k for a scratched up watch, Rolex or not. I'm not jumping on the "£10 Casio does the job" bandwagon as I appreciate expensive timepieces myself, I just wouldn't have paid that much for what looks to be a poor example.

The name and the fact that it will last practically forever. Still not worth £5.5k in my eyes.

You'd never know the difference

every 1/5 of a second, just the way Rolexs work

Congratulations.

Wouldn't be my choice for a top end watch, but its nice non the less. Would it be possible to have the scratches polished out?

well with the one you posted you would be able to tell

I think he meant that the likes of you wouldn't appreciate the difference in a master crafted timepiece and a cheap knockoff glued together in a sweatshop in the backstreets of Shanghai.

Anyway, enjoy the watch, that's what they are for

ok I'll level with everyone, it's not a real Rolex, my dad has had it for a few months now, his mate bought it in Thailand for about £50, I think it's an excellent copy and I was trying to see if anyone could tell the difference
