jonthebhoy Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm guessing it's a leading question and therefore I will plead ignorance. Pray tell. Presume it's a vintagised rep Rollie? JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Some kind of Air King All I know is it's the first Rollie that I have seen with the crown as the twelve o'clock marker I would almost venture a guess that its junk, but I usually wind up wrong so I'm staying mum this time.

Ken Ken , i think this is genuine rolex, the vintage look and the scratches seems so naturall, or it must be a 10 year old rep . But dont know yet, i cant find any reference by looking the pic. Its an auction on a Greek site, the seller states that was his father. Before i ask him i would like to have a little inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davethecat Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Well I see palpatine down there taking alot of interest, so you will know about it soon Ken It looks like a 6694, but those pictures are too blurry to tell. Reminds me of what I see when I've had too much to drink. Mannual wind? If so its probably a 6694 with a 1225 movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I agree with Dave- Looks like a 6694 Oysterdate. Here is another (not mine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken I agree - I have several 6694s (and this isn't one - nor is it a 1500/15000). Could be a refinished dial - in which case, its authenticity would be questionable.

shimside11 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Timeman.net has alot of comparable stuff - pages of beat up old rollies and omegas, some good stuff if you look close, frankenwatches etc., you should be able to find one just like it there. I haven't bought from him but he seems to have a good reputation if you're not a hard core purist. edit: just checked, out of curiosity. sure enough, he's got millions of them - black dial silver dial, etc. most of them look pretty nice too.

slay Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 looks like my first rolex replica... (which is also about 10 years old i guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofy Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Looks like the real deal to me. Circa 1957-1959 maybe, but I would take it in to a AD for verification. If it is indeed a late fifties, could be worth $350 - $700 based on condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
