Vintage Rolex Daytona 6265 With a Cool History

A Vintage Daytona 6265 From a Raceway Veteran.

Just thought i would share this cool story with you all. The photos are pretty amazing and we are sometimes as impressed with the stories as we are the watches. Check it out...more photos.... i hope you all enjoy. The watch is NOT for sale.

Interesting.

Slightly off topic, but could you do something about your Rolex Serial Number date generator please? We get quite a lot of people coming here confused about the date of their vintage Rolex because they have used your website and been given a date that's about ten years or so off. It seems to be because it doesn't take into account the Mid-1950s reboot of serials by Rolex. Thanks.
