What is your friend asking, these pieces can easily command five figure pricing depending on condition.

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 02:55 AM

He is selling me the pic of the second one for 7000 is that a good price?

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 02:57 AM

there is no band on watch tho

watchenthusiast · 30 June 2010, 02:57 AM

wow beautiful watch i don't think that i saw this one anywhere else, i think it will be good buy since it's rare watch...

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 03:00 AM

thankyou very much think it is a real model and I dont have to worry

tgoose1 · 30 June 2010, 03:13 AM

I'll defer to the vintage experts here on TRF, but if this is a genuine 6263 with or without paperwork, $7K is a steal for that watch. Is you friend the original owner, and does he/she have any original documentation/box that is included?

Subfiend · 30 June 2010, 03:16 AM

I would buy it for $7,000!

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 03:17 AM

sounds good and what trf?

tgoose1 · 30 June 2010, 03:19 AM

It's the forum your currently TRF = The Rolex Forum.

padi56 · 30 June 2010, 03:20 AM

At that price could be too good to be true,and even at that price. I would want it authenticated by Rolex before I parted with any cash dont look right to me..

It sounds very expensive for a picture, I can sell you the same picture for $100

psv · 30 June 2010, 03:22 AM

If that is genuine, it should be at least double of that price. Tell your friend I'll buy it from him.

tgoose1 · 30 June 2010, 03:24 AM

Probably closer to $4X.

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 03:25 AM

whats closer to 4?

psv · 30 June 2010, 03:28 AM

4 times the price to 7,000. Which could very well be true if everything checks out on this watch.

Personally I'd feel bad about ripping off your friend, he should sell it to a trader/collector and get $25,000 - $35,000 for it. You should get $5,000 for helping him sell it! :-)

tgoose1 · 30 June 2010, 03:30 AM

The value of the 6263 offered to you, could be worth 4 times the asking price, but again I defer to the experts who will chime in sooner or later.

Welshwatchman · 30 June 2010, 03:37 AM

The top pic looks good, a "Mayer" dial if I'm not mistaken with it's own specific set of arguments amongst collectors.

The second pic is of a fake (dial certainly) in my opinion.

I am not the ultimate expert by such a long way but the dial looks very wrong and the price has got a guilty conscience.

BASSETHOUNDS · 30 June 2010, 03:40 AM

Could not agree more with you Paul . The pushers look suspect too .

RLX-lvr · 30 June 2010, 03:45 AM

A Fake.
Please don't even waste $7.00 on it.

tgoose1 · 30 June 2010, 03:47 AM

What specifically do you find incorrect about the dial/pushers?

oldtimer12 · 30 June 2010, 03:49 AM

yea what is wrong about it

The face looks wrong. If this was a real Paul Newman they fetch a lot more. Last Christie's auction one went for $86,500 (without box or papers). The fact he wants it for $7000 should ring alarm bells.

docmfg · 6 August 2010, 07:58 AM

What a friend! It is a fake. Look at the bezel the 110 marker is wrong. The number "1" in 110 are too far apart.
