I came across an OD for sale locally and I was looking for some input on this model. The seller told me that it was a Ref#6694, which leads me to believe that it is a manual winding movement. I only have one photo for now, but what do you guys think? Is it a good value for $1500? I'm not sure if I really would like a winding movement?

Please share your thoughts....

In my opinion so will I go for a vintage DJ around $1500 instead.

But thats me.

Yeah thats what I was thinking... my guess is that this OD is a 1970s and if I have to keep winding it everytime I will probably lose interest in it. I will try to see how firm he is on the price... maybe I could get it for a grand?

USD1500 for a 6694... Your kidding IMHO!! Unless with box and papers it is abit overvalued These can be had for as little as SGD1200-1800 depending on condition.

Thnaks bud. The more I think about it the more I become turned off. Why even pay $1000 for a 30 year old watch that is not really valueble or collectable. For a little more money I can pick up a 16234 with a saphaire crystal and automatic movement. Thanks for your imput,

exactly my thoughts too. You can even go TT for not that much more then the 16234. Also you must beware that the preowned shops are offering quite a high amount for 6694 (I was quoted S$800-1000) for a watch that wasnt in the best of shape.

I hear that in Italy and France, the 6694 has good demand.

Agreed. 1500 bucks is way too much.
