I'm delighted to offer for sale an exceptional and early example of the reference 6265 Cosmograph - this one being a "No Daytona" Sigma Dial
The case is excellent, showing broad proportions and likely only a "tickle" somewhere along the line in terms of polish (I find it problematic to claim "unpolished" status as we truly by and large can't be sure) - what is for sure is that the case presents itself as it should, replete with caseback sticker (albeit lifting slightly)
The bezel is excellent - I have handled enough Daytona watches now to know that a good bezel can make or break the watch, in particular with the metal 6265 bezel - this example has not been victim to over-polishing and remains thick and flat surfaced
The dial is superb with no imperfections to remark upon, and bright white subdials that haven't fallen foul to dirt ingress over time
All lume plots remain in tact and match the hands and react as they should under UV, falling off quickly
I do not know the service history of this particular watch, but it is running strong
The watch can come with a 70s period correct box should the new custodian wish

What is everyone saying?
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!
