A fresh picture of one that is not seen too often— The Rolex 6238 (“Pre-Daytona” Chronograph)

The father of all Daytonas, and a beautiful and very special reference. The epitome of 1960s cool. ...  

Wow, that is high praise indeed

It is certainly more versatile, and also more rare I believe.

together with the first Daytona, at the origin of the myth... ...  

Terrific photo! Thanks. These are not often seen side by side

I must admit I am partial to the smooth bezel and monochrome dial of the 6238.

I definitely prefer pump pushers over screw down ones, because I find them much more classy and.

Nice couple you have here...just a curiosity the red chrono hand on the 6238 is original or was added later?
