New member with a 6265 daytona
Hi all,
First post here and wanted to introduce my watch. I'm an original owner of 6265 Daytona that I bought for a Christmas present to myself in 1976. I've worn it everyday since purchase through 2 divorces 3 jobs and a lot of manual windings. It runs a little fast but that's ok. It's had 4 services and the last one was at Jewlers on Time in Newport Beach, CA. I got their name from this forum and appreciate the lead. They said 2 weeks and it was done in 2 weeks. They were very professional and understood what this watch means to me. I've changed the band and the bubble crystal which scratched easily. But other than that, it is all original and I have all the paper work, box etc. If I can figure out how to add a picture, I'll post it. |

A real beauty! And great to see the original owner still has the watch. Did you keep all the bits and pieces that came with the watch, such as the boxes, manuals, receipts? More photos would be welcome. We all love seeing original full sets! Congrats!
