Wow, something does not look right. Paypal coverage for $20,000. First time I have seen this.

No sales for 6 months. I would personally stay away from this, unless it was a local buy and seller allowed local pickup.

well two things - That sticker on the back is a sticker not a hologram- that i am 99% sure is not real. ( I have asked about this before and no-one has told me otherwise). Secondly should this watch has Solid end links? I am not sure, but hopefully someone else can help

I don't know much about older Daytona bracelets, but the watch head itself appears to be correct for a Zenith Daytona.

The watch and accessories appear genuine, The sticker is correct, as the non-hologram sticker is in decent shape yet. Usually, the gilt embossed lettering/crown from these stickers wore off with time, so the one depicted here probably did not have a lot of wrist time.

(These caseback stickers were used before the hologram stickers.)
