freddy333 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 It is generally accepted that non-Oyster (pump) pusher 62xx Daytonas have small recesses in their case to accommodate the pusher's cap when depressed. However, once or twice in the years since I have been collecting, I have seen verified, non-modded 6239/6241 (non-Oyster) gens with the larger Oyster-style recesses. Unfortunately, since I began collecting Rolex pics in the late 90s, I have not come across any more of them. Well, at least not until today. I just received my Christies 'Lesson One' auction catalog from Nov 10 &, to my great (& pleasant) surprise, there, on pages 50-51, is a 14K Paul Newman 6241 with those wide, Oyster-style pusher recesses. As I recall, this watch ultimately sold for close to its max estimate (~$170k) Therefore, my concerns about Goldie's case are now relieved
alligoat Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Looking good Freddy! Recently I've been looking at the 6238 in gold and it's running in the $100K+ range for a gen. So I've been wishing that I'd picked up a DW 6239 case in gold, and a dial to go with it. I'm also liking those 6241s more and more
ceejay Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Sigh...one day my 6241 will become a reality. Lovely stuff
