Rolex Daytona 116518 G Serial , Looks right?

Hey, It seems like there are alot of rolex experts around
Please, does it look right to you? I really need some professional opinion about this piece. I know it was purchased a year ago as a brand new watch from Mayors, FL.

I’ve been told that there’s a chance that the bezel or even the case has been replaced to a newer version because of the new marks on it (triangles) and that’s because it doesn’t fit the old Panda dial , which is an old dial and it cannot be sold as a brand new this way.

I really like it and willing to buy it,
Please, hope to have some information about it.

Looks fine to me mate - the dial and bezel are correct for the reported year if the watch (2017). I’d also be VERY SURPRISED if the case and bezel had been replaced as these would cost close to 1/3 of the original MSRP.

Also, all of the precious metal Daytona’s have always had the triangles.

Bezel never changed on the 116518, and that dial makes sense for a G Serial. I had this exact watch, but was a V serial in 2013.
