    Daytona 6239 with long thin hands and sandblasted 300 bezel. Totally original and unpolished. I also have the original sales receipt. I love these beautiful plots... F9D90F94-A78A-492D-ABFD-9B2CE10F83DB.jpeg

    It would seem Tudor had a problem with the bezels from that era. Maybe a bad batch. Gives them a lovely look. Here is mine from 1984. Colour of hands and indices not as homogenous as yours

    I'm not sure which one of the two or if it matters? IMG_20190422_122955_434.jpg IMG_20190422_122955_433.jpg IMG_20190422_122955_436.jpg

    Beautiful! How do you mean? Like the fade of the bezel? Isn’t that common with all aluminum bezels?
    Also I noticed it’s common for the cyclops on this model to distort the date when magnified. Not sure why it does that.

    It does seem that all aluminum fades, but some of these blue ones have gone pretty quickly. @dougiedude has a snowflake we get to see occasionally, which has beautiful fade and patina. @timjohn has one, which from recollection has very little bezel fade. Cant recall whether that is mercedes or snowflake. Seems that many of the Rolex Subs from the era also have a similar lovely blue-grey. Yours is a gorgeous watch. enjoy it

    Ah I see, I wouldn’t mind a little more fade to be honest! But yes I’ll be enjoying it very much :D
