Hi, I've been offered this Daytona but am unsure if it's a fake or not. The reasons why I'm inclined to think it's fake are:

1) Strange hour hand
2) Strange chrono hand
3) Location of the word 'cosmograph' on the dial
4) the small dials are not quite what I would expect on a 'cosmograph' ?

The seller thinks it's a 70's or 80's model. As always it comes without any papers or box and it's an 'inheritance'. One would think a proud owner would keep those items somewhere near the watch...
