Collection
I have to say, it is wonderful to own both these watches. So similar in DNA, but yet such different personalities. This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2009-08-15 05:22:06 This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2009-08-20 06:50:00
The Rolex 6239 represents a black dial variant within this reference, produced from 1963 to 1969. This reference occupies a specific position in Rolex's chronograph offerings of the period, distinguished by its black dial configuration and manual winding operation.
The watch features a 37mm stainless steel case fitted with a fixed tachymeter bezel and acrylic crystal. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters. The manual winding movement utilizes the Valjoux 72 caliber, providing a 45-hour power reserve. The timepiece is completed with a leather strap.
This reference appeals to collectors focused on vintage Rolex chronographs from the 1960s production era. The black dial variant offers an alternative to other dial configurations within the 6239 reference range. The manual winding Valjoux 72 movement and 37mm case size reflect the technical specifications typical of this production period.
Black on whote or white on black, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't be able to choose, and would certainly, if I could, take both of them! An excellent pair, indeed. Huge congrats, my friend. Your collection is taking off in an amazing way! Best, Nicolas
Well, i am now going to settle into enjoying the watches for a while now. My collection has, indeed, grown by about 50% this year in number, but by a lot more in terms of nature of watches. I have had more fun investigating and then sourcing the 5 watches i have bought this year than i can remember in any hobby involving just one person! Its been fantastic. I have to say, the ongoing comments and advice from people like yourself and Jeff as well as countless others has been invaluable. So thanks
But our advices are just advices, and YOU have the merit to have taken your own decisions in a sublime way, reflecting an impeccable taste and maturity... That's all! Best, my friend. Nicolas
what they have in common ? Same reference, case, movement, etc...and mint condition ! But the dials colors are different, the Daytona is located at different places on the dial and the bezels are not identical (200 vs 300 mph). Starting to collect vintage Rolex with Cosmographs is not common...but it must be enjoyable ! Cheers Jeff
But you are not getting this one LOL. Regards Rene
The YG is also a beautiful watch, i have to say. I would love to see some more detailed shots of that beauty?
