Fake/Reeal Rolex 1992 dayota?

Hello guys
I have an old rolex daytona 1992 from my grandpa, but i do not know if its real or not, can you guys give me hints how to check if its real or not?
I can give you photos with the watch.


-weight- 138g
-type-16520 daytona (wrote on the bracelet)
-crown little Rolex symbol in the glass
-the watch works with small gentle movements, not by ticking like a normal watch

Definitely real based on the weight.

. Lots of watches weigh about that.

. This writing would never be on the bracelet

. There were no crowns on the glass in 1992, but it may have been changed. The crown should not be easily visible.

. A Daytona of this era would "tick" at 8 times per second.
