Daytona (16518)...thoughts on this one.

So I stumbled across a Daytona at a shop and wanted to get some expert thoughts on it. It looks real to me but would like more opinions. Also if real I wanted to get thoughts on condition.

Can’t tell by pictures.
I think this is one where you will have to take off the case back and examine the movement.
Good luck.

I am not sure about that as well. Here is the bottom of the box. Would appreciate any input on it. Thanks!

Box is genuine, but for different watch (ladies model).
The older lacquered mahogany Daytona boxes were nice though. One of my favs.

Daytona (16518)...thoughts on this one.

Everything seems to look right to me — just needs a little TLC - and a new bezel and it would look brand new. (I’d want to inspect the movement too...)

Agree on the box — it is genuine but for a different model. I think a buddy mines - wife’s lady president (80s model) had that box.

Love Zenith Daytona’s

Just my .02
