This just in... Daytona 6263.
This watch was not operational when I acquired it. Works great now...

The Ridley's do great work. Awesome sigma dial you got there. I kinda like the no
"big red" look. |

The older ones are a far nicer design than the new Daytonas.

Btw, am I wrong in thinking you have a different sub-minute dial hand? Only asking as I seem to have the same problem with mine.

@fliphandywork
Jesse, what a terrific post. The photo documentation is superb. I don't know what the exact conditions were at the time of acquiring this outstanding timepiece, but at the very least it presents a positive picture on the "risk/reward" (value) of purchasing a knockout watch that just needs a little TLC. Well done! _____ Instagram: @onthedial |
