1978 Rolex Big Red Daytona 6263

Case: Excellent thick case with original pushers. The black bezel is also in excellent condition and shows light wear from use.

Dial: The matte black "Big Red" dial is excellent and shows little if any wear. The subdials have aged to a silvery creamy tone and show some very very light speckling. The lume plots have aged to a warm sandy hue and the 3 o'clock marker is missing a portion of its luminous mass. The hands match the lume on the dial perfectly. All lume glows brightly when exposed to UV and falls off rapidly at the same rate.

Bracelet: The 13 link oyster bracelet is excellent and shows very light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1982 date code.

Accessories: None

Notes: This fantastic 6263 isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
