DAYTONA 6263, too good to be true..

[Cutlass]

hello guys

I need some help from you ..
this watch was offered to me yesterday ..
and asking price was very good .. but I would like to check with you condition of the watch, dial , hands and other things first ..

the bracelet is newer one, clasp code PJ5 from 2008

bezel insert is broken between "8-9" , and I'm not sure if it is genuine..
crown seems to me fine , the case fine too , 295 xxxx (70yr if I'm right)

guy said : "Maybe one part of "engine" was changed many years ago , and that is all" ..

I will open the backcase and take some pics later ..
but first I would like to know if all is well at first look to you ..

I need help from you , please
thanks in advance






















thanks for looking
best regards from Croatia

the condition of those sub-dials and some of those hour markers would bother me too much to be honest...

[landroverking]

What's the asking price?

You're right it isn't.

The dial is either aftermarket or refinished.

I agree. I don't like the Big Red location and the color of the registers.

Forget this one, please.

[vintagewaferthin]

Forget about this Daytona. It is most likely real, but as others have said, the dial doesn't look right and the condition is pretty rough..

A 70 year old 6263???

[Wing Zero]

Looks like a replica to me.
Engravings look bad...
Dial looks bad...

Rep/franken/put together/whatever.

Give us a smile though, how much is this being offered for? :)

It's most likely, almost certainly, not real.

[Cutlass]

thanks all guys
I realy appreciate your help ..

asing price was $12000

the watch was in Official Rolex Service/Shop and chief watchmaker said all is OK with this watch !!??
I can't believe they didn't open the caseback , but after he check it in his hands said just like that "everything is well with that watch" ... very strange ..

After that I went to regular watchmaker who opened the watch and I took a few photos. ..








I'm not an expert but some things doesn't looks to me 100% , maybe you can see something wrong here ..

once again thank everyone for generous help.
I will pass this deal...
you helped me a lot ..

V72 with fake bridges.

[firefisher]

It is the wrong movement for the watch and the movement in your pictures has some rolex parts and some aftermarket ones as well.

Looks like a made in Arizona watch

Movement is all wrong.

[swish77]

Bad fake, and probably artificially added patina to age it. Asking price alone should have been a dead give-away. Here's a real one (my former 6263). Big difference.

You are indeed correct. Initially, I had thought that maybe the dial was simply aftermarket/refinished and the rest was real, but now that we have seen pics of the movement, that theory has been proven wrong..

once again thanks all guys
you saved me a lot of money :)
