For all the reasons already listed this is a bogus Daytona.
Not stainless
days at six
etc.
For me the biggest "tell" is the mere fact it says anything about the race on the back.
A stainless Daytona is awarded to the winning drivers of each class at the race. Nowadays there are three classes - Daytona prototypes, GT-R and GT-3. Each team usually has four drivers - so the total watch pool is about 12 watches per year. For a winning driver these watches are a VERY big deal - well for that matter so is winning any 24 hour race. These watches rarely come up for public sale - the last one I remember was at auction for over 30 grand. So if any of YOUR buddies have one - it's a fake, period. Unless of course you hang out with guys like Scott Pruett or Hurley Haywood.
