Daytona 6241

What movement did a 1972 Daytona 6241 use? How hard is it to find one and how much? Thanks

Rolex (Valjoux) cal. 722-1. You probably will not find one. If you do expect to pay over $10,000. And, by the way, I doubt very much that a 6241 dates from 1972. Production for this reference ended in 1969.

I agree, it is counterfeit. Also, what's up with all the vintage Daytona threads from Florida lately??????????????

How do You Tell?

What pointed out it was fake? The serial number or the engraving or both?

Almost correct Fred ....

[QUOTE=rolexguy777;3219084]hi kido,,,, same 72c movement as the 6263/6265,,,,


The 6241 uses a Valjoux 72 that transformed into a Valjoux 722 once Rolex added their own bridge plate.

The Valjoux 72C movement has the extra day and date wheels - not used on the Rolex 6241
