I have a Rolex Daytona 6240, s/n 143xxxx. Acquired by my grandfather somewhere between 1967-1970. The pushers were replaced by Rolex back in the 90's during a service. Any way to tell which pushers were original to it? P300 (mille lighre)? P301? Thanks to anyone with more knowledge than I have on this lovely family heirloom.

Millerighe P300 / 0 are correct for a 6240 - 1.4million
Optimistic seller perhaps at £10k but pricey mind ....eek!!

Great Daytona info on pushers and in general.

Thanks that is a helpful albeit pricey answer! I appreciate it guys. I think the pushers are the only Rolex Service dept bastardization. The crystal has been replaced but I assume that's fairly harmless as those things go. Let's see if I can figure out how to attach pics....image0.jpg

Lovely RCD (Rolex Cosmograph Daytona) Daytona. There are also ROC and RC and R only dials btw. Crystal looks good early version if replaced. I'd not fuss over pushers unless some come up cheap c£3-4k. Nice orig. Bracelet and I think crown. One or two hour lume dots have come away it appears, but that's not uncommon over 50yrs. You're a lucky fella indeed and that's some inheritance - enjoy it✓

Thanks so much for the feedback guys. This is SO helpful. Bracelet is definitely original, 90% sure on the crown. Interesting, pauldavidthorpe. Are you saying the difference in value of the watch isn't worth what people are asking for the original pushers these days? That is definitely a question I've been asking myself, trying to figure out what difference in the watch value a £10k pusher swap makes. As a newbie I don't yet understand these details. I went down a rabbit hole with zoomed in photos and a magnifying glass to confirm the bezel is original based on the font for the "2" in "200". Made my head explode :) Thanks again, you guys are awesome
