Interesting Daytona snippet

I have recently found a new interest in pocket and military watches having recently acquired a Hamilton 4992B....to the point...found this little snippet in a book which I never realised about the Daytona (I don’t own one)

Thought I’d share just in case

I suppose it's only fitting to have completely erroneous info/history captioning a completely fake watch.

I guess if you publish a picture of your fake watch into an obscure article then it makes your fake watch legit. LOL

Quite strange really, makes me wonder how much credence the rest of the articles in the book carry
