I thought Sigma Dials have „OT Swiss TO“ lettering?
But very clean Build!

There were both Sigma and non-Sigma dials available in the early non-Daytona 6263 watches. Non-sigma is a safer bet with Viet dials as they tend to mess the sigma symbol on their dials...

Its a such a Beauty!
But sorry, for a 6263 or 6240 its the wrong Dial.
Its sad to spend 5-6K with that minimal issue.
When i spend so much in a V72 Build i want oh Perfect.
Don’t think wrong about my Post, still one of the Best vintage daytona. But incorrect Dial.

Bro, you can Google what you want and Secure your Beauty Watch. But you got the wrong Dial Mate. Many flaws to be called for this reference

But my dial was never to be a Big-Eye. Big eye dials have bigger subdials and the Rolex Oyster Cosmograph is located way lower on the dial.

Trust me, I did check with lots of sources. Sigma is way easier to find but non sigma dials like mine existed too and I did show you exactly such dials, NOT big eye dials.

Thank you! Yeah, let’s agree to disagree then :)

I am fully aware that there is more sigma dials in those but considering that non-Sigma no-Daytona no-bigeye dials also existed and also not forgetting that most often Viet dials have very bad sigma print, this was a good choice in my own opinion.

Thanks for a nice fellow enthusiast discussion :)

Completely agree with you mate. TswissT dials existed at about 3mil and on serial and the Vietnam reps are absolutely nice for that type of dial. Not so for vietnam sigma dials that have ridicolus "o" instead of "sigma". So well done sir
