Daytona with diamond bezel and 8 diamonds on the face

I just inherited a Daytona with the diamond bezel. The jeweler tells me it's legit but I can't seem to find a Daytona with diamonds that is probably stainless steel. Several are white gold with the diamonds. I'm new at all this. The numbers on the back of the case are worn off so I have no idea about model number. Any advice welcomed.

You'll be able to find the serial number on the little ring that surrounds the dial on the inside of the watch (look at the 6th marker, it's right besides it). If it's not there, you must take the bracelet off and take a look in between the lugs.

Would it be possible to see pictures of the watch? If it's made of stainless steel and it's a real watch then the bezel and the dial are probably aftermarket (unless the former owner found original ones).

EDIT: Welcome to TRF!

If the watch was truly inherited I doubt it would have the engraved rehaut.

Serial # in the lug.

Thats true. Nobody that purchased a Daytona after 2008 is due to die for another 4 years
