Ref. 6238

Hard to beat! But I may still prefer the 6263 (neither of which I own).

I have a silver dial 6238 but the black dialed one is just WOW. They wear like a nice dress watch while the larger Daytona is much sportier although still small imho. M

6263 is THE Daytona for me. White face, black subdials,.. Definately an attainable grail.

That is awesome, congratulations! Would love to see some photos of your silver dial! Yes, this is a 37mm, correct?

I believe this is an early 1960's.

+1! I've been chasing a black dial 6263 for some time now. But a 6238 like this is a worthy prize!

The black 6238 is indeed awesome, but expect to pay around 80K, if you would be so Lucky to find one...;-)
