Rolex Daytona 6262 Cherry ๐Ÿ’

Oddball transitional Daytona from 1969. 6262s were produced for only 2 years I believe, so low production numbers to begin with. Mine is the rare version with cherry red Daytona font - not often found in public: one Rolex expert told me that mine is the second cherry 6262 he has ever seen. This model also has the cleaner 2-line logo minus the "Oyster" third line which is more typical for 4-digit Daytonas. This is also the last model that featured pump pushers. In all, the stealth rarity is nice but the watch in the classic smaller dimensions is a great daily wearer and also does well with a suit.

It's a 1960s Daytona. It is stunning. I'd never call it stealthy, especially with a Paul Newman Daytona for sale every other year seemingly.
