In the world of vintage watches, and in particular Vintage Rolex, there are two things that when side by side are an irrefutable match made in heaven: Gold and Black. Add the Cosmograph Daytona Moniker into the mix and it truly is something to sit up and take note of

Mann About Time is delighted to offer for sale this Rolex Cosmograph Reference 6265 in 18 carat yellow gold, in superb condition, with a little rosy oxidation for good measure. The case itself has likely had a gentle polish in the past, but ever so gentle, as the proportions remain thick and muscular, with a hint of rosy oxidation that has appeared over time for good measure

The tritium dial is immaculate, with no marks from rogue past repairs - the hands have be re-lumed using period correct old-stock tritium and therefore match the dial perfectly and react under UV as they should, falling off rapidly at the same rate as the dial. The bracelet with all important 71 end links has been freshly refurbished by my trusted jeweller and is as close to factory as you could expect

The boxes and accessories are not original to the watch - however they are period correct and as such make a nice overall set - transparency is key - boxes and papers do not maketh the watch, I'm the first to preach this, however having this set in my spares I felt it would be remiss not to offer the next owner the opportunity to have some added extras

The service history is unknown however the watch is running strong and the movement is clean hence my decision not to intervene unnecessarily

I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!

I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.

Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.

Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
