The sigma marking "σ" at the 6 o'clock position on the dial is also This is a characteristic of the early dials. *The σ mark indicates that gold or other precious metals are used on the dial. The dial has some luminous chipping at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, and some corrosion at the 3 o'clock position. The rest is in good condition. *The hour, minute, chronograph hands, and sub-dial hands show some corrosion due to aging. *The second hand specifications are different from those of the 6263.

Digging deeper, This particular watch has the words "ROLEX OYSTER COSMOGRAPH" written in three lines. This is an early dial called a low letter dial, which is positioned slightly toward the center. Compared to Big Red on the right of the photo, the position of the three lines is clearly different. This is the next dial after the narrow Sigma dial, which has the Sigma T notation at the 28th to 32nd minute positions. The low-letter σ dial of the 1973 model is perfectly aligned.
