16523 inverted 6 Daytona TT

Thinking of getting this inverted 6 Daytona, any expert out there able to see anything visually wrong with it? Price is tempting and does the bracelet and clasp checks out? Claims to be around 1990, anything i should look out for when i see it in person?
Thanks in advance!

Pictures are horrible but it looks correct - MK4 bezel and MK4 inverted-six dial, correct from L5 to S serial (approx. 1990-1995). Without the serial of the case and the clasp it's hard to tell if they match but all looks good.

Here a picture of mine, almost identical, N-serial with P11 clasp (November 1991) with MK3 bezel and MK4 dial.

Thanks Doraemon :)
I know the zenith is very robust, but any faults functionality wise or common defects i should look out for? I think the 16523 is way under valued and represent a bargain for getting into daytona, yours looks stunning BtW.

Thanks for the compliments. I can speak for my watch: it's incredibly accurate (less than one second fast per day) and strong as a rock; I use it everywhere as a daily wearer, I swim with it without issues. The only "defect" is that the clasp doesn't have the secure lock that newer models have, so I don't surf over high waves with my watch on
