Fake and we usually don't help fakers to improve their "products" by hinting to their flaws.

I spent a day comparing this movement to other 6263 pics found on the net trying to find differences. And I did find some, of course. Balance wheel, etc.. I thought this forum was place where passitionate people shared their knowledge and skills... so other people could avoid buying elaborated fakes.. thank you anyway.. |

I don't know if it is real - I'm not a Daytona expert. But, I'm leaning towards a real Zenith Daytona.
The bracelet doesn't look right.

This is not a zenith movement, this is a earlier valjoix movement manual chrono movement, but still looks wrong IMHO and us not an original Daytona valjoix , regards.

I thought the Valjoux movements used cams and not a column wheel.
