Rolex Daytona 6238 vs 6263
Dear Rolex fans,
I ve been collecting watches and I ve been reading every single posts since a few years now, but never took the opportunity to actively contribute to this forum … sorry about it ; Also because of you and my passion for vintage rolex I am about to “hunt for a vintage Daytona”
I do not know which one to choose 6238 white dial or 6263 big red….., I love them both very much
Knowing that it will most probably be my only vintage Daytona and that the budget is about the same, I would like to ask you for advices in terms of choice based on past experiences, tips ……
Thanks a lot for your feedback and once the hunt is over I will take the opportunity to post a few pictures…

Hi and welcome to vintage
I personally find 6238 mono color dial i bit cold. I dont think it will be a permanant pcs in my collection. A 6263 w the screw pusher is to me one of the most balance daytona ever made. I am also still in the hunt for one. But whichever you choose, as lo...
