POLL: favorite 6263 dial

[the collector]

Guys, there is always a lot of tlk about the infamous Rolex 6263, but which is your favorite dial?

[Guest avitt]

#1 Black, non-PN

#2 Silver, non-PN

[ubiquitous]

The non-exotic dials are my preference. The PN's just seem too busy to my taste.

1) Non Exotic Black with silver sub dials

2) Non Exotic silver dial with black sub dials

[Sherrington]

#2 is the silver dial. I've simply had too many of those and I'm tired of them.

Give me one Bob if you have too many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is a good thread on the PN dials.

What eactly makes a dial "exotic"?

From Timezone:

This may not be the best comparison since they are different dial colors but its a start..

First. forget the bezels.. one is steel the other is plastic..

The dials..

The PN dial is on the right..black with white subdials...

Things that are different on the dial..

1. The outer ring on the dial with tracking numbers. In the PN is red tracking numbers(but it could be black or white.)

2. Markers. They are a small square on the PN with small tritium dots.. In the regular dial, the markers are long.

3. Subdials.. The font in the PN is more art-deco and the markers are a square with a "stick" connected to it. In the regular dial, its just a dash..

4. The markings "SWISS" is usually below the six marker in the PN dial.

5. Lastly, there is no tritium dots at 12 in the PN dial..never..
