you're asking a lot

and providing three not-so-good pictures. While it might look ok at first blush, how could anyone really tell for sure based on these pictures? It might have a fake movement inside.

If you're looking to spend some serious coin on a gold Daytona, don't take our word for it. Take the watch to someone who knows how to tell if it's real or fake, preferably the watchmaker at a local Rolex dealer.
