PN Daytona just back from RSC
Who says Rolex doesn’t service “exotic” dialed watches???
Well, just picked up my 6264 PN from Rolex yesterday. As per usual they did a sensational job! The watch was is excellent condition before the service, but now it’s just taken it too the next level. My favorite is the “Dial” description. Seems like Rolex is adopting the “collectors” terminology. Please enjoy!       John. |

Looks great..
I like the way they put the clear sticker on the back to protect from scratches... Or did you do that to fake us out...

Absolutely amazing!
 I bet the service technicians were taken aback when they saw that baby come in. Great to hear they did such a great job. I love all Daytonas.

That's excellent service John, you must be pretty happy about that, and I guess you ate a few Krispy Kreams to celebrate
 So with a full service Rolex really turned back time, so to speak, to give you a new lease of life on a 40 y.o. watch. That watch is 'special'.

 Wow, that is one absolutely stunning Daytona!!!  And you've probably made the technicians' day over at the RSC, when your baby came in...!!! (Ah what... not just their day... you've probably made their month!!! )Enjoy your rejuvenated watch & wear it in good health!!!

The Paul Newman Daytona looks SOOOOOOO beautiful John! I enjoyed the pictures, Rolex did a great job to make that watch look brand new!! I also liked how they typed "Paul Newman" on the papers, that is pretty awesome on their part how they would use collectors terminology like that.
Continue to enjoy that legendary cosmograph to the very fullest and in the best of health John. What a great looking 6264! Just looking at pictures of them makes me wish I can just hold one in my hands just one time.

We've all learned so much from your guidance. If only Rolex USA were so understanding.

While i might be the only person on this forum that thinks the daytona a little 'busy' on the dial i'm happy to make an exception.
That watch is beautiful!! I'm soooooooooooo jealous!!! |
