Anyway... I've been told my 'real' Daytona will have a Zenith movement, how would I really know... and what makes the Zenith movement different to the rolex movement?

Welcome! A forum or Google search will yield tons of results about he differences between the cal. 4030 (your Zenith) and the cal. 4130 movements. The former is a movement that was borrowed from Zenith and heavily modified by Rolex, the latter Rolex's in house movement.
You've got a beauty. :)

As for replicas...discussions about such are against forum rules, unless your posting in the Watch Out! section.

Wearing mine for the first time this weekend. Been fishing and hunting to get it well into the action of normal usage. Even took it for a spin in some Safari vehicles!

when I went to collect my Daytona after a two year wait back in 1996. They opened the box up and it was a black face.. I looked at it tried it on, then said I don't like the black face I want a white one, so I'll wait till you have one.
Saleman's face!!! wish I had a camera lol

two months later a white one came in and I had it :)

When Rolex switched to the Zenith-base movement cal.4030 to the new in-house cal.4130. This happened at Baselworld in 2000.
