Iconic and sublim design, the « Big Red » generation of the Daytona certainly helped building the legend of ROLEX as a brand. It is one of its best seller and an analogy with the sports cars universe would say it is the 911 of the wrist!

Dial: exceptional bright and vivid silver dial. The manually applied « DAYTONA » in red bold sherif font is positioned with a little space above the 6 o’clock sub register and is known among collectors as a « Floating Big Red ». All the tritium dots are present and they all react well under the UV test (glow green & vanish quickly). The handset is also featuring original tritium luminous. Flawless black sub registers with no tool marks.

Case: extremely thick case. Lugs and case retain their original shapes and proportions. Satin finish and distance of the holes from the edges on the side of the watch is large & equidistant.

Pushers: MK2 (with circular line) matching the period (switch from MK1 to MK2 around serial 6.5m).

Bezel: original MK3 Rolex bezel.
