Is this thing real? the lady claims to be selling her passed away husband's watch. Supposedly bought in 1977 from authorised dealer Bucherer. No pics of boxes, papers, no mentions of service records or repair bills. No explanation of the strange backplate with uncommon engravings. She says the watch was brought to "a watchmaker" for polishing (but the pics dont seem to show a good job - if they were taken after the polishing).

I did not contact her because I am not really interested in purchasing this one myself: I do not like the styling of the hour indicators on this model, prefer the newer ones.

Just wondering if Daytonas from that age were indeed produced with such hour markings - and whether you guys think this one is real or not.
Thx

update: Have just sent the seller a whole list of questions: box? papers? SCOC certificate? Original Rolex strap? What are the markings?
I dont think I will get any answers though

Looks odd... I'm no expert on vintage daytonas, but that looks strange.

Fake, just like so many fake Daytonas out there that seem to be multiplying.
