6263 big/small red

Greeting all, I'm new to this forum. I'm looking to buy a 6263 and I have some queries that I need the experts in this forum to help.
1. I see most 6263 comes with big red and some in small red, is this related to the year of production? Also most of them have "t swiss t" but i see some with "swiss" only.
2. What's the power reserve for a fully winded 6263?

Thanks guys!

Swiss only usually means a replacement dial. You can find several types of dials for a 6263 and all may be correct. Rolex did weird things with the 6XXX models as far as dials.

I bought this dial a few years ago in the original Rolex wax paper and Rolex dial metal case. It is marked "6263" but it has sigmas indicating it is for a precious metal model. I have had emails from original owners who purchased a 6263 with this dial from the factory on SS models. =) maverick
BTW, beware! these dials are heavly faked and some very good, especially the PNs.
