Original prices of the Rolex Daytona 6263?

They were inexpensive because they were generally disliked due to their design: they're not automatics, so they needed winding at least once per day. But they had screwdown crowns, which made it harder to keep them wound. The Oyster design for a manual watch was not a very well received idea.

My mother bought this watch for my father and waaaaay over paid @ reportedly ~ $400 usd in '73-'75. But thanks to the fountainhead of vintage Rolex knowledge known as 'Nanuq', the open end rivet, rivetted bracelet identifies it as a British Version/Release, so that means she bought it on vacation on Tortola BVI. They must have seen her coming :lol:

But, in the long run she didn't make such a bad investment, you can always <Buy It Now> on eBay :lol:

In 1996 the 1680's were even cheaper by a couple hundred bucks.. i wish i could go back 12 yrs and scoop up all the vintage rollies i could get my hands on.. mortgage the house and spend a 50 or 100 grand on certain watches... today they would be worth MILLIONS or buy all the comex and... wow.

Ubi..... have you finished that time machine yet?

Yeah, I wanna go back to 1968 with all of Jimmy Page's chops and riffs. You guys are all invited backstage at the 1975 Garden gig. It's going to be buck a** wild, leave the women folk at home. They will be supplied at the venue.

Didn't you get the memo? :o

Drat... we all placed orders for a dozen each Rolex 6263, Rolex DR Seadweller and Rolex 6541 Milgauss. He ought to be back soon, if the Temporal Customs don't hold him up too much.
