White Dial Daytona purchase

Hey all just wanted to verify that everything looks legit on this 1999 Zenith I'm about to purchase. Been waiting a long time to get another and can't afford any mishaps. Appreciate any feedback

White Dial Daytona purchase

No doubt you checked the clasp code already but if not, it comes up as mid-1999.

The head doesn’t appear to have any obvious issues but you’d want to have it opened up and inspected by a watchmaker before buying. If you can’t afford any mishaps then you’d want to avoid an unexpected $1000+ overhaul

If the serial numbers look good, I'd say go!

Please tell me you got a dated photo with the watch and several references of the seller.
These should be the first and second thing you ask for.
