FrankenDaytona?

I found this Daytona on ebay and, well, it just doesn't look right to me and after a little research, it looks even more weird.

Any Daytona experts know what's going on with this watch?

What doesn't look right to you? Nothing jumps out as off, looks lovely! Seller has 100% feedback as well.

The bracelet looks suspicious to me for starters.

Remember, we're looking at a 1963 specimen.

I thought the dial looked off, but I'm not so sure now.
This pre-Paul Newman Daytona(with a 1695xxx serial number circa 1963)is rare and in excellent plus preowned condition and comes in its Rolex box set

I think its a very well taken care of example, but for $38k I'd want to be sure too! I'm sure someone more in the know will be along soon.

Band is a modern replacement but acceptable to most
