Aaron - what a killer watch. Know you put in a lot of work/diligence before pulling the trigger. Your efforts were not in vain with this one.

Indeed and there's going to be another one imminently on 4 digit Daytonas. (Naked watch prices used below)
The 6263 6265 were c Ł35-40000 in 2017 (when 40mm auto 16520 were Ł11000 and 116520 Ł9000)
The 6263/6265 are now Ł60000-Ł70000 (when 16520 is Ł30-40k and 116520 is Ł20-25k) AND PRICES HAVE STAYED SAME FOR 3 YEARS on the 4 digits incl 6263/6265 (though exotic dials have gone up 15-20%)
So as the lesser 40mm pieces have caught up, we'll see a Ł20k jump any day soon on non-exotics to Ł80k 6265 and Ł90k 6263 loose and c 25% more for punched papers ! They are weirdly a bargain at moment as is the DRSD since the Great white caught up to well within 50% of its price !
