I'm also curious if the dial is original.

To rate the watch amongst similar ones I give it a 6.

To rate it against all available Rolex options I give it a 2-3.

How can you tell if the dial is original? I'd love to learn how to tell that. Is there some resource you can use, e.g. website or book or guide?

I'm sure it will be useful for other members too...

Looks nice. Is it a mother of pearl dial? It looks pretty shiny.

Hi Rolex6694

I'd give this one a 10/10.

Your one looks similar- but it's not.

It's hard to rate with the pics posted but I would say at least an 8 unless there is a problem with the case that is not shown.

The bracelet is stretched out but the head/dial look very nice. With the tritium dial and riveted bracelet I would be interested in the serial number or date of the watch.

I am not a DJ expert at all but it looks very nice. =) maverick

A wonderful looking piece! White dial with Romans? Gets an 8 just for that look!

Take it to a local watchmaker, and have them give it some tender loving care. They could also let you know if it's original or not. Probably needs a service.

These 1950's - 60's Oyster Precisions are awesome. Here's my 1.2 million serial:

I give it a 6

I could be wrong but I think it is a 6694 manual wind from the late 60s early 70s.
