Is there a Rolex 6694 with Onyx Dial
Hi all
I have recently seen a beautiful Rolex 6694 with an Onyx dial on sale locally and I honestly find it very beautiful. But before I pull the trigger, it dawns on me that I have never seen or heard of a Rolex 6694 with an Onyx dial before. Hence I would like to pick the brains of the collective community here whether anyone knows a 6694 with Onyx dial exist please? In other words, is an Onyx dial original to a 6694? Thanks folks. SN: post counts too Low to post pics? Unsure |

I sincerely doubt it is original. This is a model from the early 1960s, I have not seen any watch from that period with an onyx dial. I suspect its aftermarket...

The 6694 was sold by Rolex until the late 1980s, but yes the dial is unlikely to be orignal, IMO.

Back then, an onyx dial would still say T SWISS T at the bottom

I was just pointing out that the 6694 is probably mid 70s as well and that it shouldnt have a SWISS MADE dial on it. I was being sarcastic when I wrote fake

Ok thanks for all the inputs. Seller has confirmed that it is an aftermarket dial.
Cheers |
