About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers.

This was the entry model for Rolex, the Ref.6694 served for a good 3 decades before calling it a day and they were fitted with acrylic crystal and a workhorse manual winding movement. It has the legendary Oyster case shutting out dust and moisture which safeguards it's movement and many are still serving their owners as a daily watch today. The date does not have quick-set function and power reserve typically lasts about 40hrs+/-.

This example dates back to 1975 and is fitted with an improved high-beat 21600 movement which offers better accuracy. It has been polished to factory spec. The bracelet is a period correct folded Oyster version in steel with a signed deployant buckle. The dial has some very interesting markings unseen before and could be a special commission from Rolex on behalf of The Swiveller's Shop or it could simply be a customised dial but it is done in great care, adhering to factory quality. There is a black cross line with 12hours printed in blue similar to military dials (usually in 24hrs) & below the center column, its is printed S.N.M.T. Project with a red winged figure. The Tritium are aged to an ivory colour.

This Rolex was procured from a dealer many years ago and we do not know of it's history but it certainly is quite an intriguing timepiece. We don't guarantee that it's an original Rolex printed dial and priced it low to match so take it as a novelty and certainly better than the Mickey Mouse that you see on these.

A conversational watch among collectors and even strangers when you wear this & it won't break your piggy bank.

Upon opening the back cover, we can see that the 17 jewels movement shines as new and case is in as-new condition.

Overall a very good piece that will continue to serve you well for many decades to come as long as you take care of it.
