Incoming... Happy 50th Birthday! Show Me Your Daytonas!
By: teofft : February 12th, 2013-10:26
I recently picked up a couple of grails! Here's the first. Can anyone guess which model? This is the first teaser... It has an early 1.4m serial number that actually makes it a little older than 50 years old, but it has Daytona on the dial! More photos to...
A wild guess: 6239 ?

The first Cosmograph Daytona was reference 6238 and is sometimes referred to as the pre-Daytona Cosmograph. Rolex retrofitted some of these references with a Daytona dial and bezel (mine has a 1.4m serial). Apparently it was not unusual for these early mo...

Hi Abel,

I think you want to say 6239, because, as you know, the 6269 it's a Dayto made in gold ;) However, your Dayto is very nice! Best Regards to all

Thanks to a fellow forum member for suggesting a visit to a well known Vintage rolex dealer. I've photoshopped out the actual s/n in the pics. Ive been hunting for a few years for this particular model, but I wanted full documentation. It is obviously ver...
Very impressive !

Original Owner
By: teofft : February 15th, 2013-15:32
The original owner is from Buenos Aries and had the watch serviced at a Rolex service center in Argentina in 1985. It's a nice piece of provenance as it has the matching serial number model Number and payment details of the original transaction imprinted ...
Great watch teofft! The argentine connection is also...

...very interesting. Nice to know that watch resided here, in my own country, originally. It is always fantastic to find a nice watch together with all the backing papers. Enjoy your beautiful watch my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
Come on....

I am not really a Daytona guy, Jeff.

I would not make some huge sacrifices for a Paul Newman, while I can make some big efforts for a Pusssy Galore or a Big Crown. Best, Nicolas
Beautiful Daytonas!

To the OP, that full set is amazing! Wear it in good health! As always, I'm amazed by the watches here, guys! V/R Mike

Maybe I am saying that because I still didn't end my GMT theme
By: amanico : February 16th, 2013-23:02
And because I also have some other Rolex Priorities to achieve, but yesn you are right, if I fall on a nice one correctly priced, or an authentic FAP, well... Who knows what can happen??? ;) Un abrazo, Amigo! Nicolas
Congratulations Teofft!!
