Rolex 6263 value??

Hi all..

Wondered if someone can help me. I have a Rolex Daytona 6263 from, i think, the 70's.... Its the one without Daytona written on the face. Its in good condition.

I dont have any paperwork or boxes with it. I had it serviced c 15 years ago and its with Rolex now getting serviced again.

I need to understand its value.

Any suggestions please ?

regards N

Hello.

Are you serious? did you ask the RSC?

Depends on condition, but I'll say $30-35k USD

Well, it's possible that it's going to be worth half what it could be after Rolex is done... depending on what they do..

Did you not ask the same thing 3 days ago?

He's in the UK, hopefully @ Rolex Bexely they seem to do a better job than Rolex USA.

Make sure they keep the dial/hands and face original. They should contact you before they do any work. I would stick with a movement service only.

Value stated above sounds close to me.

Do you have any photos?

This should be interesting. Why is it that these types of questions are never asked BEFORE but after a watch has been serviced/purchased? Good luck with the results!

Depending on condition 25K-30K, Sigma dial a little more.

Hi All

Thanks for the responses. Yes I am in the UK and no havent had any work done yet. Rolex are asking for the go ahead to do some work to the watch. So will say no.

Looking forward to those photos. If this watch has the original dial, bezel and hands, then it may worth a small fortune

Without a picture of the actual watch afraid know one could give you a proper valuation.But if its being serviced you want the watch kept 100% as original most of the value will be in the dial hands etc so important they are not changed just have a movement service.
