Kaneko from Commit Ginza would like to introduce a recommended watch!
Today we have a manual-wind Daytona/Ref.6263 with an MK1 dial!

Accessories: Box
HOLD!!
It has been re-stocked. If you are looking for one, please consider it.

The third generation manual-wind Daytona "Ref.6263", manufactured from around 1969 to around 1988.

This particular watch is from around 1972, with serial number 30.
The third generation manual-wind Daytona had a long production period and a wide variety of dial types.

The individual we are introducing today has a "no-text" dial, meaning there is no Daytona text above the 12-hour counter.

While the "Big Red" is also cool,
the "no-text" dial is also a very popular early dial.

Furthermore, among the no-text dials, this particular watch is an "MK1" dial, which is the very first type with no "σ" mark.
The MK1 dial is very rare within the Ref.6263 line-up.

The dial condition is excellent, maintaining a very beautiful state even under a loupe.
It's rare to come across such a beautiful silver dial.

While there is a loss of luminescence at the 2 o'clock position on the index, the other luminescence remains clean.

Looking closely at the subdials on this particular watch, you can see tropical aging.
While it's not a brown that's immediately obvious, a clear discoloration can be observed.

The subdial hands are also the original thick hands.

Although the hand lume is later tritium, it doesn't detract from the overall feel.

The bezel is an "MK2" bezel with an inverted Z.
Although the age may be slightly off, it's a rare bezel that trades at a high price on its own.

The plastic bezel, which is prone to scratches and cracks, is also in excellent condition.

The pushers are groove-less MK2 pushers, which are properly equipped.
These are also rare pushers that match the age of the watch!

Overall, the condition has minor scratches from use, but
there are no major scratches and the condition is good.

The middle case has some signs of polishing, but considering its age, it is in pretty good condition.

The bracelet is a rolled bracelet with FF371/7835.
The FF371 is rare and not often seen.

The buckle clasp is stamped 72.2.
The rolled bracelet has some stretch but is in good condition.

Wrist shot!!
The plastic bezel and silver pandadial area perfect match!
The outer edge of the subdials has beautifully tropicalized, giving it a great atmosphere.

Manual-wind Daytona Ref.6263/Silver MK1/73.
This is a highly recommended and appealing piece, featuring a well-preserved MK1 dial and rare MK2 bezel and MK2 pushers!
These early models rarely come in stock, so if you are looking for a manual-wind Daytona with no text on the dial, please consider it.
