Is a Rolex Vintage watch something people will want to buy? I can see quite alot of Rolex Vintage watches in Chrono24.com being advertised, but don't know whether sales of such watches are many or that people prefer to buy Rolex modern ones. Rolex modern watches I consider to be quite expensive, even if they are used ones.... Although I have purchased several brands of watches like Seiko, Longines, Raymond Weil, Citizen (new ones) over the years, I only have a single Rolex watch, which is Vintage. :-\
Yes. There is a huge market for vintage Rolexes. Maybe a little smaller in Malaysia..but huge overseas. Especially Rolex sports model like Subs.. GMTs .. SDs.
If you want reliability, buy new. Just my personal opinion.

Well, the vintage models you mentioned that there is a huge market are sports models.... the Rolex vintage I have is a manual winding one which I don't know whether internationally, there are still high demands, locally, quite definite the demands are very little and limited ... :-\

By vintage it doesn't really mean the 6694. Even then a nice example of this model can sell for about RM 9k. :)

If you think modern Rolex are expensive the vintage ones are even more ridiculous.

Thank you for your comment and opinion... Rolex watches are a well known brand for a long time... in fact, I consider it to be a privilege to own one, whether it be a current model or a vintage one.
As for 6694, which I have one, and since I am not really wearing it constantly, I am considering disposing it, but I don't exactly know where to dispose it at the amount you mentioned, plus or minus. Will appreciate any suggestion you may have. :)

RM 9k is the price of one pristine 6694 I saw at a grey market dealer. There are several such dealers in the Klang valley. You can try going there to get a valuation on your watch.
The 6694 is many people's entry into Rolexdom because it is affordable. I sold mine more than ten years ago for 3k.
Insofar as watches, we have hobbyists and collectors or those who are a bit of each. Hobbyists buy them, wear them and sell, and buy again. A collector buy only and hardly sells.

If you want to post some pictures here, I am sure there will be a few forummers who are happy to help with their input.
Alternatively as you already mentioned WW in Subang, they do charge a small fee for an official valuation. You might also want to check their websites or even Mudah to get a feel of rough market prices.
Good luck.

No offense intended but since the 6694 has a relatively low entry-level price point, its value cannot run very far off .... they go for anywhere between RM6-9k retail. That might seem like a huge 50% diff, but in absolutes, it's only 3k between the lower & upper limits.

Thank you for your comment... will post some pictures here, once I get them sorted out.
I know that WW in Subang Jaya charge a fee for an official valuation if one does not sell the watch to them after their valuation. Mudah has alot of people who are interested to use whatsapp only to chat on advertised products; these people will ask for your Bank details saying they will do a "direct payment", which I don't believe it at all - Mudah informed me they may be scammers who do that, and asked me to chat in Mudah for serious buyers.
Anyway, what I am commenting here about placing adverts in websites like Mudah or Carousell or any other such websites, do be careful of such scammers. :)

Nice Rolex 'precision' watch. How is the movement like? This movement has been used to plonk into a fake Gold case , to be sold as a genuine gold Rolex watch. Price is willing buyer and willing seller. Dealers have to make a profit when they buy or sell.
My watch has a movement which is quite quiet, and it seems to be normal (to me). Mine is a genuine Rolex (have sent it to RSC before for service, when it was not so expensive), so, did not hear the movement to "plonk" ;D. Only thing I don't have on hand now, is the Cert. & casing. Understand that watch dealers will want to make a profit when they sell - so, if they buy, the price will be cheaper (could be much cheaper with some dealers). Anyway, appreciate your comment.
