Rolex “Full-Set Big Red 6263” Daytona

Description

Offered here is a beautiful example of Rolex Daytona, Ref. 6263 (circa 1978; 5.8m serial), nicknamed the “Big Red” Daytona, due to the printing of Daytona in red. This example is outfitted with a panda-silver dial, and features screwdown pushers. These screwdown pusher-Daytonas have soared in popularity over the last couple decades, and are coveted by collectors, new and old.  Additionally, this watch comes with its original Rolex box, Guarantee Certificate (showing the original date of sale to March of 1981 in Argentina), and various booklets.

The condition of this Daytona is great. The case has been very lightly polished in the past, but remains thick and even. The dial is in beautiful condition, with no major flaws, scratches, marks, etc, save for some minor aging in the right register.  The original tritium lume is still present on both dial and hands, with extremely nice yellow plots, all of which are well-preserved and in-tact. The original Bakelite black bezel is likewise in great condition, with no cracks.

The watch also comes on a Rolex Oyster 78350 bracelet with 571 endlinks, and has 13 full links with minor stretch.
