I don’t think that there is any point comparing the price to other watches. The Daytona has become a special case and obviously the price is ridiculous. It would be ridiculous at $50k for what it objectively is and remember it’s not long ago when that was about the going price.

Of course OP if you want a absolutely cool 60’s chronograph get yourself the real deal for half the price, a first or second execution Heuer Autavia. That is is the king of 60’s chronographs.

Although I like Daytonas, I agree with this. The early Autavias (actually all Autavias) are every bit as collectible as a Daytona without the truly over ridiculous prices... although they aren’t cheap either! Follow my watches on Instagram @vintagearmadillo |

Yes, of course, the prices of "Big Red" Daytonas are ridiculous, and so are the prices of pretty much every vintage Rolex. A Maxi Sub at $20K? A red 1680 at $25K (and more)? Gilt Subs at $40K. Even 5-digit Pepsi GMTs above $10K? Insane. Not sure how it's any different with 6263s, other than they've increased more than other models and to higher levels. But when the vintage craze started, they were already at a higher price point than other references, so it's all relative. Logic doesn't always factor into the world of collecting anything, not just vintage watches. It's about supply, demand, hype, the "cool" factor, brand recognition, etc .... Let's not just pick on vintage Daytonas. The whole thing is crazy. |

BigReds 6263 - no matter if black or silver - they are maybe the most beautiful watches ever made by rolex. I love them even more than the PN's.
Go for it.... :-)) |

With me, there is a huge difference, called pricing, between $90,000 and $20,000 or $30,000.

I miss the days of the mid-late-'90s when $1500 got you a beautiful vintage sports Rolex. It's not just about the money. Seems like some of the fun is gone because of the craziness of it all. Maybe it's just me. |
