I understand your view with the Daytona designation Miles but I also find it funny how the SS 6263/6265 have the Daytona designation while the gold models have "Cosmograph"...

I am pretty sure you know the story of how and why Rolex originally called this the Cosmograph and then changed it to the Daytona but it always fascinated me when people fail to remember this part of it's history ππ

there is a reason why Rolex chose the terms "Cosmograph" st the beginning of this reference and later switched it to the Daytona designation ππ€£π In addition, I find it funny that they would include the Daytona designation on the SS 6263 and 6265 but not o...
