Historical Perspectives: The Very First Rolex Daytona, Explained (Or, What Is A Double-Swiss Underline Daytona?)
I tend to think that the best way to understand an icon of today - you know the types of watches I'm talking about, the Speedmasters, Submariners, and Royal Oaks of the world - is to take a look at the earliest iterations; the watches that left the factory first and set the overall tone for a particular model that would change wristwatches forever. So, just like I did for the AP Royal Oak "A-Series" here, I now present you with a detailed look at the earliest examples of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. I'll tell you what to look for when examining early models and how to spot the only 50 year old Daytonas out there. I'll be honest, this was a really fun article to write and I think you'll love it.

The only thing of note is the higher jewel count for each corresponding model.I have examples of the 6/0 B with 17 jewels.The 6/0 C with 17 jewels.And fi

Early Christmas and a Rolex!

Thoughts on the condition of this Royal Oak?
Hey guys!So as a newbie into the AP world, I would love for you guys to critique this 14790 I am looking at. (regards to case, bevels, overall condition).Now I am not naive enough to expect a 30 year old watch to be in pristine condition, however I am wondering if you guys think that this watch is in decent shape. I would love to hear your opinions/inputs.It is a very early ref 14790 at 36MM. Love to hear your thoughts.Thanks in advance!
