Service bezel at best but actually it looks "aftermarket" to me

100% fake - start with the wrong applied coronet, incorrect style and spacing for 'ROLEX OYSTER COSMOGRAPH', incorrect subdials (count the number of concentric rings and the length of the applied subdial indices), decent try on the big red 'DAYTONA' but too bold, applied lume dots are a fraction too small and the spacing of the '110' in the bezel is a dead giveaway.

To me the movement and case look ok , could this have had a aftermarket dial and bezel fitted by a watchmaker who just wasn't particular enough to fit OEM Parts
