These are NOT Daytona pictures, that's for sure. Anyone who knows the watch will tell you that.

Anyway...

Although given the pictures are not really clear, it does appear to be a Daytona.

Thats not a daytona??? Are you kidding me?! If I had a better camera I would take a picture of the red wording around the bottom dial that says "DAYTONA" Oh well. There are always those who are hypocritical in response to their jealousy.

I think Rolex use hollow links (on some models) to make it feel super light, or they are not using pins through the links.

Does this happen with all their bracelets or just the Jubilee type?

ALL.

You should see some of the Presidential gold bracelets I have seen.
A total worn down mess.
With the gold it is much worse than with stainless.

Rolex is not a heavy watch, especially the band. The case is average weight for its size which in not that big compared to other chrono's like Baume Mercier or Breitling.

Oh, I know. If you look at his bezel and the bezel from the Daytona on Rolex's website, you're going to notice quite a few differences.
