So...My father has a Gen Rolex Daytona Cosmograph~~

And..He would like some info on it and about its market value today.

The style number of the watch is 626300 but..i cant seem to find ANY info on that watch.

Some help would be greatly appreciated :)

Any other numbers are avalible if that would help aid in the search for annother watch like it. We are trying to find its value in todays market.

Holy Crap...Merry Christmas to you and your father!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Try searching under model number 6263...and you will find that the value is probably somewhere between $25,000 and $50,000.

Ohh...he got the watch in '87

I assume that you don't mean that he purchase the watch new in '87...

There's a 6263 but not a 626300 -hopefully it doesn't have that model number :huh: .

The next generation Daytona's after 6263/6265 were 1652X. Might want the recheck the model number or some photos would be even better.

Okay..lets clear it up...

My dad bought the watch NEW in 1987 for about $5000 I think he said.

Now, he would like to know its market value. He has only woren (Is that the correct word?) the watch 2 times. He has origional everything. Its basically been sitting in the closet collecting dust for the past umteen years.

Hmmm, 1987 huh? Drop the two zeros, not sure where you got them, and do a google image search. Then, visit Josh or Andrew's sites and compare pictures. You will find your holy grail. Sorry for not spelling it out, I'm on my way out the door to go see "I am Legend". Best of luck, Arty

'87 was the last year of production for the 6263....You're sitting on a goldmine.

Please disregard my previous responses...

That watch has no doubt DOUBLED in value by now...but might be difficult to sell. Just to make it easy for you, I'll offer $12,000. ;)

Well..I just called him and asked for pictures of it face on, the side where the crown is and the back where the bracelet etc of it is. He says that it was bought on a lether band then he bought a Gold/SS bracelet for it.

Is it all gold (the case) or gold/ss, like the bezel being gold, the rest steel?

Really interested in the pics!

I cant remember. I doubt its the all gold version. My dad isnt like that. I will post up pics as fast as i can get them.

If you can provide the following 2 items, I can probably direct you to a reliable pricing guide:

1. A good, clear picture of the watch viewed directly from the front, to include the entire dial and the winding stem and 2 pushers. Fuzzy or dark pictures taken with phones or unfamiliar cameras will result in, at best, an equally imprecise value for your watch.

2. Answer this question (without any assistance from other members please):

Is your father's watch self-winding, battery-operated or does it need to be wound manually to run?

Waiting on getting pictures.

It has to be wound manually to run.

Good, that is encouraging.

Why is that encouraging? Is there something special about these watches movements or something that differentiates them from the rest?

My father is in a resturant right now so it may be an hour or two until we get some pictures. None the less...i will bug him until i get them. I am very interested to know how much it is worth.

I can answer questions per what i remember about the watch though until we get some pics.

He wanted to confirm that the movement at least seems right.

If it was battery powered or automatic with that model number, it would definitely not seem right and could indicate a rep instead of a gen. Given that it is manual wind, that is in line with the cosmograph of that generation, which would help increase confidence that you have a highly coveted piece.
