these dials have also some peculiar features :
1) particular finish : flat ( while black dials for cosmographs have a rough finish) and matt ( no glossy coat above ) .
2) double " T-SWISS-T " at 6 or just " SWISS " with one or two ( ! ) underlines , or even with a double " SWISS " and/or without the damned underline.
3) the main colour of the dial can be either cream or clear white .
you find them on early 6239 ( roughly in the 900.000-1.000.000 range so from the middle up to the end of 1963 )
this AFAIK is the very first one with the word " DAYTONA " ( small size ) on.
here you have some other examples of this dial :

Fantastic watch - at a price! Would not be out of place at the upcoming Daytona auction in Geneva. It is always amazing to see the quality of watches that guy has available!
Rare?

I also saw the watch but didn't realise this dial variation is so rare. So most dials are silver rather than white / creme? I never noticed that but then again Daytona is not my line of Rolex I focus on. Perhaps time to change! Thank you for starting this...
