Rolex Daytona have never been powered by a Valjoux 7750

I do not know much about Daytona - but to this I agree. It is an ETA based movement found in many chronographs, including replicas

The Valjoux is i.e. in the Tudor "big blocks".
The 16520 saphire Daytona had the famous Zenith "EL PRIMERO" movement
