The daytona white dial is very close to the one sold as a prototype here (in France also):

What can anyone say. Pics are very bad.

The 4130 movement isn't exactly complete. Cases look off.

While I have no prior experience of "prototypes", why would a prototype have been sold with papers and boxes? I'd imagine, first off Rolex not to make papers for a prototype, second not to sell it!

If you click on the picture to make it bigger, it's fairly quickly clear that the dial is also very poorly printed. So it this really a Rolex prototype?

Guys, thanks so much. Like I said everything I wrote is what has been told to me, that's I came here looking for a kind advice, since I really don't know what it is. Thanks for the support!

If you want better help, talk some better pictures in natural light (outside) and take decent pictures of each piece individually at many angles.

Rolex, used these dials for testing the 4130 movements, the dial also exist for the Zenith caliber and maybe some other calibers.

They are never sold and extremely rare. Also known as prototype dials.
I have a dial just like this.

Cases are genuine to, and indeed used for visual controlling, aka master cases.

I'd like to believe, but m a sceptic by nature. Can you back up your claims? Sure hope so, would be interesting to see.

Sure hope you're not corroborating (what could be) a pm scam of sorts..... Not saying this is the case, just looks a bit odd.

the watch parts are fake, and you really need to stop eating fried chicken over the top of your keyboard.
