When less is more... Part IV
As some of them have guessed I could not finish my saga of vintage Rollies but with a special Daytona…
Of course all "Daytos" are cool and highly appreciated but since I allow myself only few pieces to follow my motto "Less is more" I wanted to find one that makes me dream everytime I look at it.
Luckily I found that one which was the best I could see since the beginning of my long hunt : a real Big Red floating with cream dial…
That big red touch floating proudly in the middle is bringing a big smile on my face everytime, and these 11 perfect puffy tritium dots… 
And the beautiful bombe of the original plexi gives an additional charm to the warm patina of the rare cream dial…
I could not dream of a more beautiful 4 digits Dayto to complete my magic square 5513 1675 16520 6263
But Believe me I am so happy with just these 4 (in my Rollies portfolio) : definitively LESS IS MORE

Wait a minute... Not sure you closed it... I well see two or three others in your collection, to come, one day... Best, Nicolas
Lovely example of my favourite Rolex.
And looks like you have the perfect 4 combination. Enjoy and wear and stare in good health. M.
Less is more
I have to keep that in mind more often before adding another watch. Back to the Daytona; it seems you have found another superb specimen. Congratulations!
The 6263
is my favourite Rolex ever Mike! The sad thing is that I only discovered this model two months ago as I had been quite ignorant about the brand. I love the size and the way it wraps around my wrist so much better than the current Daytona. And the dial is ...
Thank you for your always kind words my friend
...and looking forward to showing it to you next time you come…
Actually I can't see it on your pics but you know your watch for sure...
...and I can Indeed confirm mine has its original domed crystal as it shows on the pics (I purposely kep some light reflection on the plexi crystal so that the domed effect shows
