Rolex launched their first Daytona in 1953 and it was primarily designed to appeal to the avid race car driver. It quickly became a flagship model for Rolex and one that watch enthusiasts would covet for decades to come. As with anything that is in high demand, the counterfeit market for this watch is vast and there are far more fakes out there than there are real Daytonas. As such, it's important to be able to recognise some of the tell tale signs of a replica Rolex Daytona.
