Couldn't find an existing thread that covers these. It's pretty seldom that I see one posted in the WRUW threads. I've been eyeing them for a while and broke down and purchased on last week, an Oysterdate 6694. It's in sharp shape but came on a bit of a tired strap which was replaced with a new one. Found a bracelet for it as well. Feels great to wind it. For a non COSC it keeps pretty good time (-6 to -7 secs per day). Any other owners out there with manual wind Rolexes?

My 1972 6426 says hello. Extremely understated and elegant watches perfect for dress or everyday wear.

Happen to be wearing my 6425 today, it's one of my favorites. Quick wrist shot.

Is your silver dial a 6424? Beautiful watch either way, very clean ial for its age.

Great watches all.

Love a manual wind chronograph, and extra special when it's a Rolex.
Here's my 6238

That 6238 is unbelievable! I congratulate descartes.

I'm just starting so this 6694 is the only one I have at the moment. Got it a couple months back, came back from a movement service and now keeping +1 sec a day

a watch is meant to be worn

I've been winding this one for over 30 years.

mui.richard · 27 November 2016, 01:43 AM

NICE Daytonas guys! You know I never warned up to the new Daytona 6-digits, the dial to bezel ratio and the busy dials kills it for me.

But the vintage ones...😍😍

Now if only I could find a new dial and hands to replace this

Who serviced it? Looks good. Pretty certain RSC would insist on hand and dial swap.

Probably the Hong Kong RSC. They might recommend new parts, but not insist.

Thanks, I waited a while for the new one. I realize it's a big success but it was a real let down for me. I made plans for this one soon after.
