Not really dirty, but aged a bit.
Good choice for a Rolex mechanical hand wound watch.

Are there any ways to get the original strap for this model? Went to the SC last year but they said in order to change the strap I need to overhaul bla bla bla and the quotation was more than 10k + the strap  :shocked1:

I have seen your rolex 6694 watch which seems too old but it is looking very nice. Presented in the early ’60s, this guide twisting watch is the perfect basic Rolex timepiece. It features a set cyclops amplified date window on polymer amazingly, a finalized attach down top and a traditional silver switch.

Good / average condition 6694 price shoot up a lot. Saw some pieces selling at Wxxx Wah website are at 5digits RM now.

Bud,

RM 10K + for a 6694? Wow...

I should start selling the piece I have..hehe..

I guess it is a good starter piece and similar to the Hilux for Toyota. A great daily beater and reliable.

I have come to like the look more over time as I am a DJ lover. The 6694 series is in my mind a baby DJ.

Although preown watch shop 6694 selling price can be as high as RM 10k, when I approached one of the watch shop and asked how much they willing to buy from me-only RM 5k.

So for me to determine the watch market price, I will take the average of watch shop selling and buying price.

Morning all, new member here. Being observing for about a month now.

Showing my 6694. It was bought by my dad in 1960, the year he was married to my mom, from his father in law, a jewelry and watch trader.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170822/16ffde76ed29a3630b843f3dc0d4d0f1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170822/739673553e6f36b48b7c2810390274d2.jpg)

I tak sampai hati to wear it, cos I tend to scratch watch glass alot, and this piece is acrylics. When I bought mine, it has 2 minor scratches , so I buy polywatch to polish the acrylics. Now scratch free  :D .

Wait till i get a sapphire glass rolex then will wear it.

You'll never lose money on Rolex unless you over-paid .... best to do some research on fair or average market prices first.

My first Rolex was a used 6694 about 20 years ago, at that time it was already a 20 year old vintage and I paid RM700 for it. If not mistaken, I sold it 3 years later for RM1500.

it's been suggested by many that chrono24 prices are generally 15-25% higher than real market prices. It's fun to browse but I don't think anyone really buys at those prices. Would be really sad if they did.

Rolex 6694 has an interesting usage history.

If you pay attention enough, you would find many countries airfighter pilot in 60's or 70's wearing Rolex 6694 as their pilot watches.

It's manual wind with 50hours power reserve and plexiglass crystal made it a perfect choice for airfighter pilot. :thumbsup:
