I also suspect that this watch is not legitimate. I am not aware of that combination of lettering in the 6239’s and at a cursory glance, the case diameter appears identical to the companion 116520 in the photo, ie it does not appear to be 36.5mm. As far as your original question, I’d tell my friend that any watch of this importance should be assessed by an authorized watchmaker. If one is not currently available, particularly with coronavirus restrictions in place, I’d suggest that my friend approach the seller to reverse the transaction until that inspection is done. For disclosure, I am certainly no Daytona expert—I don’t own either a 116520 nor 6239. I do have experience owning some of the other Daytona references though, and this one gives off a bad vibe.

Just have to tell him as soon as possible so that he can seek recourse

Uh-oh: do you tell a friend this? Do you tell a customer this (even if you didn't sell the customer this watch?)
