Does the coronet on this daytona clasp look legit?

Hello, I'm looking to get a legit check on the clasp/coronet of this daytona 116520.

It looks kind of different to my friends one, but i'm not sure if it's due to this one being unpolished. It is a random serial black dial 116520 watch only without the box/papers.

Thank you in advance! and I can't wait to get it :)

Note: I have got the movement checked out and it's all sweet. Is there anyway to verify the bracelet? It will be a cash only deal (which is my first time) so once i've bought it there is no going back

Cloitus.

Looks normal to me. Why do you think there's a problem?

Cheers, thanks guys. I had my friends daytona with me (which is 100% legit) and the coronet on clasp looked a little different. To be honest my memory isn't exactly great but I'll compare again when i go to buy it on Monday.

Sorry to hijack this thread folks

I'm not normally one to worry or be overly concerned about minimal issues (does the coronet face upwards on the crown etc) but I am just looking for some advice

I have been looking through some examples of the coronet on the clasp and have noticed that mine looks a little off compared to others which look much more crisp.

What are people's view on this? I am reading that there are rarely these types of errors or anomalies so am a bit worried that it looks misaligned.



Will get better pictures up if required - thanks for any advice

Is there still plastic on the clasp? Looks like it from here.

Here's a close up of your coronet vs mine (2019 blro).

Not sure if there is supposed to be a difference between models but for sure there is one visible here.

The proportions are off, especially visible at the bottom of the coronet
