Icon6 // Incoming: 6263 Big Red Daytona //

So, here is the incoming that I have been dreaming about. After working with Andrew Shear on my 1655 and 1680 red I am very proud to add this grail from him to my collection.

I had waited to find one of the silver dial 6263s that had the more pearlescent white look, rather than the champagne look that later models have, and here she is. Absolutely in love with the dial. All original down to the pushers, crown and bracelet. Box and papers. I couldn't be happier and hope you all enjoy the photos! Thanks to all on here for being a terrific resource.

Amazing Watch well done, How weird I have a 1680 Red Mk1 and a 1665 Double Red Mk4 and are just sorting a black dial 6263 from 1986 ,

And with AndrewShear he does get the best watches doesn't he. The thing I like with AS is no pressure and he does have this knack of finding really nice bits , My favourite seller bar none
