Incoming Daytona

So when I planned to get a Daytona, things did not get along as planned.
I was planning to get a 6263 panda but got side tracked when a 16520 R floating dial got offered.
After a few years, I almost pulled the trigger on some 6263 pandas but things did not go as planned.
I joined a few auctions but did not get to win the lots.

Fast forward to this year, despite the pandemic, this year marked the most watches I bought in a year.
After learning more about the 6263 dials, bezels, pushers, I decided to settle on this.

Now still looking for a nice panda 6263 :)

Nice overlap of big red and sigma- I stupidly passed on one many years ago

Great choice

Nice pickup, congrats! Dial has clean registers for a black dial 6263, lume plots and correct pushers.
