Grandfather - Grandson 58 years apart.
Ran into a 6238 pre-Daytona and added it. Want to see if this scratches the vintage Daytona itch. I really wanted a Daytona Big Red and missed 2 nice examples last year.

Fun to see the pre-Daytona against the current 116519LN reference.

Cheers.

Thank you Pat! I see you have a 126600. I dove in again and got a Mark I. I soooo want to love the watch. And after receiving it - it began loosing 90 seconds a day. So, the 3235 is off to warranty. I’ve heard stories but not experienced that issue until now. Hope yours ticks away properly.
