My Grandfather's Oyster Perpetual

[Virginia Gentleman]

My grandfather left this to me and I have had it in a drawer for several years. It is all original short of the bracelet, which is a Speidel. The crown is original and has a plus under the crown. The crystal has slight scratches and has a crack at the top of the dial, but has character. I'm probably going to replace the crystal and find a period correct Rolex bracelet; I'm guessing maybe a jubilee? I don't know if it would be a faux-pax, but I wonder if Rolex made a canvas type band that would be fitting for a more casual look?

It is only worn on special occasions. It runs great and keeps time for the period of time that I wear it. I wear it with pride for what it is and who owned it.

The best I can tell is that it is a 6084 with white waffle dial. Probably purchased in the early 50's. I will get the serial number when I take it to a certified Rolex mechanic for service and crystal. I have not and will not open the case on my own.
