My favourite Rolex of all time.
To me this is perfection. 1971 6263. The one and only. M. ...
Well I already dedicated a week to vintage Rolex when I posted several of my pieces but it seemed a bit too much and an overdose which was not really appreciated 🤷♂️🤦♂️...
And another reason why I don't really like to post them anywhere. People are on both sides of the fence when it comes to vintage Daytonas, me included. I was into them many years ago and luckily had a chance to see literally hundreds of them pass through ...
Hey Miles, most of my vintage pieces are in bank safes in the US. I have a few in France with me that I posted earlier which I could repost...
Did a cleaning and biannual winding ritual when I took these photos. This is my 6262 PN And the only photo I could find on my phone of my 6239 PN ...

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 😁😉 I have two 6263s in gold (1 standard an...
I concur 100%!!
The only Daytona that fits my wrist well but unfortunately way over my budget!
