hello my friends, anybody knows what model/year/value this is? Its a family heirloom which my grandfather passed it on to my father and hopefully ( cross my fingers ) be given to me. Went to our local AD to have it check but they dont have a clue

Idle Swede · 5 October 2009, 01:14 AM

It's a wonderful piece of Rolex nostalgia.

Most likely in 14K and worth about $2,500 - $3,000 (my personal opinion of course and worth exactly what you paid for).

I would guess Leo is spot on with the value.

A very unique [at least for me] example.

Seems you've already realised the real value since it has family connections.

It's very cool, that's what it is.

cody p · 5 October 2009, 01:30 AM

fingers crossed - hope you get it.

TABACCO · 5 October 2009, 01:50 AM

Idle Swede · 5 October 2009, 02:09 AM

Wow, that is in excellent condition. Looks hardly worn. I don't know what watch that is, but I know that a great looking watch.

Idle Swede · 5 October 2009, 06:18 AM

I mean like this.

marfaboy · 5 October 2009, 06:27 AM

During what years was this beauty made?

rajurama · 5 October 2009, 06:31 AM

The bracelet looks aftermarket... i guess its originally made for a leather strap! Excellent condition! Super!

deserted · 5 October 2009, 06:42 AM

Where the hell did that come from Ed??

TABACCO · 5 October 2009, 12:54 PM

a gift from my grandfather to my dad. i never seen anything like it before, the watch is so thin

BarkMaster · 5 October 2009, 12:55 PM

I can't stop looking at it.

metal man · 5 October 2009, 01:00 PM

How about some shots of the clasp inside and out. Excelant shape, I would say all original . Band seams to fit lugs very nice, the clasp is along the same design as the current and I have seen a few vintage ladies watches with simular bands. Once it's yours you can have it opened and check some servic. Either way, very nice watch.

TABACCO · 5 October 2009, 01:02 PM

i have a lousy camera but il try to re shoot it again, thanks

Bimmernate · 5 October 2009, 01:15 PM

amazing heirloom! its beautiful

Rags · 5 October 2009, 01:34 PM

Looks like it's in mint condition....

TABACCO · 5 October 2009, 01:36 PM

visited my dad over the weekend, we were discussing wristwatches,then he went upstairs to show me this one, he told me somebody offered to buy it from him for $6000 but he refused, anyway whether the watch is expensive or not, its our family heirloom given to my dad by his father and hopefully ( still crossing my fingers ) be given to me. hehe wish me luck

sakuraba · 5 October 2009, 01:40 PM

I don't know what it is, but it's pretty! Hope your old man passes it on to you.

Idle Swede · 5 October 2009, 01:59 PM

Ed,

I think it could be a model 9659 and if it is it should be in 18K and not 14K.

What does the stamps on the clasp say?
