The more I see you...



been wearing it for a couple of days now and i must admit... it's an amazing watch and i'm falling for it...
you guy's feel that this is a watch you can "really" wear or does it belong in a safe to come out on special occasions ?

the story... not that spectacular...
a guy in the town i live knows i'm into vintage rolexes and proposed to contact his friend who's in need of cash right now (he was certain he had a rolex and that he might sell it, did not know what kind)

I had cash, he had a 6263... (my luck i suppose) with the help of some forum members from around the globe it was labeled "genuine" so here she is

No knock intended to the newer Daytona models, but I really prefer these older ones with the dark bezel. This one in particular is outstanding.

Rob;

That 6263 silver big red is stunning. Wow.
Saying that, I could not keep that in the safe all the time . I would wear it on careful rotation with your other fine pieces.
Big congrats.
