It's Thursday so the weekend is almost upon us. What are you wearing today?
Continuing my vintage Rolex theme for this week. I have on an UBER rare 6241. If we look at all the 4 digit Daytonas, the 6241 and 6264 were the rarest with 300 examples of each having been produced. If we take into account that some were lost, destroyed, etc...we can imagine how many examples survived and still exist today so the number would be quite small indeed.
Notice the Daytona logo at 12 whereas the other 4 digit Daytonas had nothing, were either marked Cosmograph, or Daytona but at 6.
This one is in lovely original condition 😉😁👍

This one is your kind of piece mon ami. I know you like vintage watches untouched...
this one has alot of charm 😁👍
LOL, well with Rolex there is ONLY one choice so yes it would have to be the Daytona but you also know I am a huge Speedmaster fan so for sports watches...
Both the Daytona and Speedmaster have their place as icons. I already have several vintage Speedmasters but would like to add a few more in the future if and when I find the right ones 😉 I'm pretty sure you also know I like all types of chronographs. Henc...
Nice vintage treasures you have...
Mine is always modern but someday they will be vintage too ...
Mine are mostly modern as well Raymond although I did go through a vintage stage as you can see 😉😁
With the prices of these vintage pieces skyrocketing and the amount of effort it takes to filter through the THOUSANDS of fakes, Frankens, etc...along with so many unscrupulous types trying to take advantage in this sector, it makes collecting vintage pie...
I see more and more scary videos between real and fake and it's just mind blowing...
Any brands you name it and I'm just curious where are these factories hiding and why no one bothers to dig them out... They are listing them not for cheap like hundreds but close enough to make some ppl feel they are getting a great deal off MRSP, like 20...
Totally agree Raymond, way too many pitfalls and dangers in the vintage world...
best to learn from fellow collectors and as the saying goes, "buy the seller, not the deal or watch." We all have our own journeys in watch collecting. We just need to understand that the journey is long and best to just enjoy the ride and not take it too...
Would prefer to pick one up NOS and also I prefer the US edition as well...
might get lucky and find both the re-edition and vintage DSA US version if our counselor can help with the search 😉
Fantastic example champ!. So clean!
I’m enjoying a Tudor Tuesday with this amazing beauty. Hoping the sun will add even more tropical to it😀 ...
Thanks Champ! I love it
And it runs COSC standard. I would love her also if she didn’t but it’s impressive how these machines were built.
Yeah the uploader has been a pain for me today and yesterday on the app.
Had to run to the computer every time to correct. This forum is like work sometimes 🤣ask Nico about that!
Stunning Daytona.
I’m a real soft touch for all things Daytona and they are what sucked me into this crazy hobby in the first place. But don’t get me started on fake PN dials as I’ve been quiet for years as the community didn’t seem to mind if dials were real or not any mo...
Thanks Miles and I hear you loud and clear regarding the fake PN dials...
another reason why I stopped with vintage Rolex as I was also fed up with all the hypocrisy and games being played. Nowadays, it just seems to me that people are continuing to perpetuate a lie, the myth, or are simply trafficking goods. Sadly, a long cry ...
Thank you for the honest reply.
And thank God I’m not on my own. I had begun to think that I was completely on my own and that all sense and reason had disappeared from our hobby but now I have a glimmer of hope that there are other people out there who know the truth and see the sham f...
Don't worry Miles, for those of us who have been around pre-social media and before the vintage market exploded, we know the TRUTH...
for those you turn the other cheek, shame on them. My father has told me so many ridiculous stories I could probably sit down and write or co-write a docu-series about the dark side of the vintage market. I have seen first hand all of the shady stuff goin...
That would be great. Oh yes I have some stories as I’m sure you do.
Don’t get me on Tropical dials either. It never fails me as to how stupid some successful pea poke can be. I guess success and deep pockets don’t always come with a high IQ. Let’s make a catch up happen when the world gets back to normal if it does. Regar...
