Last night, ROLEX posted a post on Instagram's official account, which was a bit of a topic.

The post itself has an advertising meaning to Daytona, which is nothing to say, and introduces some Daytona in the hand-wound era. First of all, there is no problem with the picture of the white pole of 6239.

 

The problem is the next clock. At first glance, it's a silver 6263/6240, but it's a dial that I've never seen (doesn't exist?). Normally, the OYSTER notation, which should be the second row, is the third row. And the DAYTONA logo is in the lower row.

And the next picture is a normal 6263 silver dial. Naturally, the letters OYSTER are placed in the middle row. The DAYTONA character is in red (although there are some types that do not have it).

To a similar modelOYSTER ALPINAThere is a model called, but there should be no DAYTONA notation in it. Moreover, the font and notation size of OYSTER are completely different from Alpina. In other words, the photos posted by ROLEX were generally "non-existent dials".

However, there is a theory that the model of this dial (RCO + DAYTONA specification) existed in the old Japanese catalog, but it may be a usual mistake of Rolex or a post from ignorance. It's hard to understand.

However, ROLEX has not yet posted such a picture of pure gold Daytona (an individual with a 4line dial of 6263 for some reason in the case of YG of 6241/64) and has not erased it yet, so I recommend this post as well. It may be a rolex.
