This is a 116506 Platinum Daytona. From the indivudual sunburst on the Subdials I would say it is an ARF. However the Serif R on the bezel say Noob.
Now I am confused .

I guess I should have been more specific. I knew which Rolex model it was i was curious on factory. Tony what factory do you think does the best job on the 116506?
Wow.. Are this Phong pushers on the first one? They look like Mark 1

MK1 and MK2 have smooth button ends
I bought pushers from Phong, and I ask smooth version correct for 6263 from 1970 to 1974.
My is Paul Newman dial. Which was mounted on the 6263 up to 1974 so it is obliged to have the Pushers mark 1 or mark 2. But it must be said that often during the service the buttons were replaced with the more recent Mark 3 (with the grooves) in how much waterproofing. So we can very well find several 6263s from the early 70s with the 3 mark pushers
Is that DW based?
You have a beautiful build there with MK2s
I was looking for MK1s and wasn’t successful yet to find really nice ones for my 6240, so I settled for the MK3s which I find very beautiful.
That's a very nice clear picture. Just wondering if this is a Noob because the white sub dial print is thicker then usual.

Your build is beautiful bro! Yes, your sigma dial could mount a thousand lines, but they are nowhere to be found.
During the 80-90s they put all the MK3 in their Daytona during the service ... congratulations !!!
It is indeed! It’s an old „mystery movement“ DW case.
