I agree. Bracelets all the way for me. Seems to be a lot of people chasing a 6263 but this could be rarer.

Interesting, if this is a 6265, shouldn't it say DAYTONA above the chrono @ 6, not COSMOGRAPH? Maybe the "6265/8" has something to do with it? I'm no sure what a 6268 is, but the caseback has 6265 stamped on it.

Looks really cool, I love gold 6265's! It's pretty expensive for one that doesnt have the bracelet.

Very nice watch--Personally-I would take a 6263 over it as I love the black bezel look far more!! A wonderful Christmas gift-a gold 6263 on bracelet though!!!

It is stunning but I am with the majority and would prefer it on a bracelet instead of a leather strap. The leather strap doesn't look like it fits the watch properly.
