Seek for Rolex 6265 Opinions

Thanks for the valuable comments. I want to limit my budget and this seem to be a good deal.

I finally purchased the watch, and it looks fantastic! Thank you for sharing; I learned a lot from this forum. 😊

Congrats on the sigma (I love the clean dial, and in certain light, twinkle of the white gold 3-cut-chamfer hour marker of a sigma dial).

Sub dial hand concern raised, and lug look fine/better on this photo angle too.

As you in the sigma club now, this article is pretty good if you haven't seen it already...

Thanks for your comments and happy to join the Sigma club ��
About your concerns of the sub dial hand, may be the photo angle male it slim and I post a better photos and let me know your thoughts .

Pleasure thanks. No it's fine. I was referring to the green mark Aaron spotted on other subdial which was light reflecting only it seems.

This photo is good btw as it shows the correct 2 in 20 on thie right hand minute subdial - which should be long across the top of the 2 and short across the bottom of 2 as this is...

Got you. Thanks for your valuable comments.
I found a YouTube explain 6263/ sigma dial and want to share with others 😊

I plan to buy a dome crystal for my 6263. Do you have any good recommendations for where to shop? Thanks

I don’t know if RSC will provide anything other than a beveled service crystal. You can find domed crystals online being sold for 6263/5 by numerous people from $200-$800 usd that claim they are authentic Rolex 25-21 crystals. Of course you want to be very careful. If you have a vintage watchmaker in Hong Kong that you can trust I’d ask them to find the correct crystal for your watch and properly install it.

Agree with K. This is probably one for the uber-reliable sellers on here or on VRF (see below) either as a want to buy or occasionally they crop up. Also you can get opinion on seller there too. There are tons of fakes in legit wax bags so be diligent ..

Here's the site and a prominent seller..

My dial appears slightly tropical when viewed in sunlight 😎

Change to Dome crystal finally and it looks more vintage!
