Hi,

Thinking of buying a Rolex Oyster date precision ref 6694 late 70's early 80's but it has a defect.
He says it will only run up side down, says that it is easy to repair and will not cost much.
I do not know the word in English, in Dutch it is called a 'lager', it is to smoothly let 2 parts interact without friction.
It is a 'lager' for the balance.

Anybody have any idea what it is and the maximum cost?

Only have one picture, no papers, no box, enough to see if it is genuine

?

All according the price but in general the calibre 1215/25 are very strong bullet prove movements. Suspect all thats needed is a service,watch looks fine service around $300.But most good watchmakers could service or repair that watch.

Hi,

Below a 1000 $ so with servicing 300 $ still would be reasonable I guess.

Padi's spot on.

A good service should give you an excellent watch at an attractive price!!

If it will only run upside down, move to JJ country, "down under"! Should run fine there.
