"Temporary" Rollie!

I have no idea what is going on in my mind, but I have fallen in love with the Day-Date! But with the lack of funds, obviously I can't get that, so as a "stop-gap" measure, I have bought a 6694! Enjoy the pictures!



With the Original Oyster Bracelet



With its Brown strap Bro



With its Rollie Bro



With its Omega Bro from the same era



With its Omega Bro from the same era again!



The 6694, alone!




Thanks for viewing!

Great looking watch.

We spend a lot of time arguing about whether a Sub needs a date or not.

I think you could make an argument of whether or not anyone needs a precious metal watch with the day of the week on it. Plus, it's vintage.

That is a beauty, hope it is a keeper. Simple, low profile, elegant, has a Calatrava look about it.
