Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Steel, screw-down pushers
Rolex, 1971–1987
Why It Matters
The manually wound Daytona ref. 6263 combines screw-down pushers with a black acrylic tachymeter bezel. Standard and exotic dials represent different collecting configurations within the reference. Originality, dial execution and case preservation are more informative than treating every 6263 as equivalent.
