This Ref.6263 is not as good as Ref.6239 from 2017 regarding product rarity and specialness because it is not an “exotic dial.”

In the mid-1960s, the Rolex Daytona released a variant of the dial called “exotic dials.” The most apparent difference between this kind of dial and ordinary dials is that there are small squares at the end of the small chronograph dial scale.
This unique “exotic dial” Daytona was not popular with the market when it was launched in the 1960s and was a slow-selling item. Consumers then preferred the ordinary version of Daytona found before, with a more straightforward and cleaner dial. Because the market demand is small, the number of unique “exotic dials” Daytonas produced by Rolex is relatively tiny.

The famous foreign Rolex Forum RPR estimates that this generation of Rolex Daytonas produces 44,000 pieces, and the number of Daytonas using “exotic dials” is between 1,200 and 1,800 pieces. At the same time, Rolex updated the design and configuration of simple dials in the early 1970s. Many people even went to Rolex after-sales service to replace the “exotic dials” with new dials. They are leading to a further reduction in the number of “exotic dials” Daytonas. Rolex replicas for sale.

At that time, Paul Newman shot a cover for an Italian magazine. On the surface, the special “exotic dials” Daytona on his wrist occupied a very eye-catching position. Such “exotic dials” Daytona was also called “Paul Newman” by Italian watch dealers. This name was widely spread, and its popularity was higher than the original “exotic dials.”
