This article is a fascinating look at how the counterfeiters managed to duplicate the inhouse Rolex Daytona movement that is used in all Daytonas from 2000 on by modifying a common ETA 7750. Ziggy tears a replica Daytona apart to see how it ticks...

This is an example of an earlier high-end Rolex Daytona replica.  It used either a Swiss (genuine ETA) or Asian (copied ETA) 7750 movement.  The 7750 has sub-dials spaced farther apart than the genuine Daytona movement, and this is evident on this copy.  There is an unnatural appearance to the subdials.  Also note that the second hand is at 9 o'clock on this replica, instead of at 6 o'clock as it is on current genuine Daytonas.
