Finally back in this club with my 6.0 million full set. It's not perfect, but an excellent honest example. The 6263 is such a stunning reference, white or black dials. (I've now had both.)

According to the Rolex price guide and guarantee paper, this watch sold for $995 when it was originally bought at Slavick's Jewelers in Southern California in January 1982. Needless to say, I paid slightly more.

Thanks! Here's a couple more photos, including one taken while it was being serviced at LAWW.

I love how these silver/cream dials change depending on the light. There's a slight sunburst iridescence in sunlight, but then it looks ivory in more muted light. While the black dials are beautiful too, there's something extra special about the silver dials.

What serial is it cajuntiger? Very beautiful but oh so different compared to my 1971 2.8m 6265. Interesting to see how Rolex developed from the pump pusher model to screw down.
