In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam takes us through an interesting Daytona Ref 6265 from 1974. This 1974 Daytona Ref. 6265 example, often referred to as a "ROC" dial and also as a "Big Eyes" Daytona. This is an early dial variant that only bears the words Rolex Oyster Cosmograph and lacks the red Daytona text above the 6 o'clock subdial. The nickname "Big Eyes" was coined by Rolex collectors to highlight the fact that the chronograph counters of this type of dial are larger than normal.
In this episode of "What Is On My Wrist" Cam talks about Rolex OysterQuartz and reviewers a 1978 Rolex OysterQuartz Datejust (Ref.17000) with a "Buckley" dial. In the late 1970s and early 1980s Quartz timepieces were dominating the market and yes even Rolex was affected by what is now known as the "Quartz Crisis" of the late 1970's and of the early 1980's.
In this episode of "Under The Radar" Tyler reviews a 1960s Seiko Motorist (Ref. J14108E) "Gold Cap" This unbelievably unique driver's Seiko screams "MOD!". With its asymmetrical-cut case and offset 12 o'clock, we love this peculiar and rare piece. The Seiko Motorist was introduced in 1964 and is said to be a variant of the Seiko Harmony, which was a line of lady's watches. This watch sits perfectly within the unisex category, as it would look brilliant on a man or woman.

The Rolex Ref. 5500 Air King series of watches are just as iconic as some of the more leading models to have come from the Rolex brand but don't let its simplistic design and more modest price point fool you. The Air-King and it's many dial variants that can be found within the reference range make this and many like it an Under The Radar vintage timepiece that is worth a closer look!
