Rolex

Jeff''s wonderful post on the Rolex Cosmograph has inspired me to take some more pictures of my vintage Daytona collection.

The watches are:

ref 6241 Paul Newman dial circa 1968 722 caliber

ref 6239 Gold Tropical dial circa 1969 722-1 caliber

ref 6263 circa 1980 727 caliber

ref 16520 A Series 1999 4030 caliber

 

The vintage Daytona Collection

 

The 'Paul Newman' next to the 'Sun King'

When I look at these watches they make me go GAGA LOL.

4 Beauties, indeed.

I slowly begin to change my mind about the Vintage Dayto.

Funny but some years ago, I didn't pay attention to them.

Now, I begin to fall under the charm...A bit too late, it seems.

Best, and thanks for sharing your 4 Babies

if you have a macro picture of your exotic dial, I would be very interested to compare it with mine as they were issued the same year.

                  Cheers

Jeff,

This is the best pic I have LOL. Next project is a decent camera with macro

Basically it is what is called a Mk I dial (the most correct for a 6239 or 6241) . Elongated serifs for wording and the sing along  T SWISS T.

 

What camera do you have?

 

Regards

Rene

for any PN owner ;-)

I can't see if you have the short or long version of sWISs

              Cheers

Yes I have to improve my camera and lighting skills hehe.

I have the long version of the T SWISS T as per Stephano's book.

 

Regards

Rene
