The visual signature is the dial. Tachymetre and telemeter scales sit on the dial periphery rather than on the bezel; the smooth bezel pairs with the printed-on-dial scales to push the 6234 visually closer to a time-only Oyster than to anything that comes after the 6239 cutover. The 6238 inherits this layout for its first series, then drops it. Every Daytona reference from 6239 onward moves the tachymetre off the dial and onto the bezel. | The visual signature is the dial.
