Accepted Serial Numbers for 6538

[Kime]

If I am right the 6538 began manufacturing in 1956 until somewhere around 1961 and I want to verify the correct serial numbers before I commit.

Ideally a 1958, I am currently thinking of 361269 but I know there are many differing views on where exactly the years fall some seem to say my chosen number would be 1957.

 

What is the definite source, if there is one, for these serial numbers?

Vintage Rolex Forum serial number project is another source.

Try to match the serial to the date code on the caseback

Only way to do it right!

Thanks for that source, I didn't know of that one. It will be a 58 so my serial no is good.

...also thanks cc, I will need to have a chat with you about this build :-)
