Vintage Rolex 6694

Hi guys,

I am a new member in this Rolex Forum. I am very proud of having the 1st Rolex at the age of 22. I am having a Rolex 6694 which I really love rather than the 1500. Do you guys have any information for this lovely piece? Also, I am looking forward to own the next Rolex piece. Any recommendations?

Glad to know everyone.

Welcome to the forum. I have a soft spot for the 6694 as well. I wore this one for two years and stupidly sold it back in 2008. It was perfect!



Post some pics!

great watch with a workhorse movement. Slower beat than alot of the autos iirc. I have a no date 6426 hiding away in storage somewhere, it was my first Rolex as well. Great watches. I think they have a better wrist presence than the auto 34's as well. Enjoy it!

If you love the 6694 you would likely be attracted to four digit Rolexes with automatic movements: 1601, 1603, 1500....

That's my story, anyway.

I love the manual winding 6694 too. There are plenty of info available about the 6694 in forum. Congrats on your first Rolex
