Rolex Manual Wind Owners!!!

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.

Great watches all.

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

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...😍😍

Thanks Richard. To me your 6694 is nothing short of stunning!

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.
