noslen Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hey all, been away a while. Thought I would share a neat watch I bought for my wife. It's a custom Oysterdate (I think it dates from 1949 but not entirely sure, serial number 5157**). The dial has been painted with a Mickey Mouse emblem. It's on an aftermarket bracelet but the lugs are original. She loves it, and I think it's very cool. It has a great handwind movement. Anyhow, here are some pics, enjoy!

stilty Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 haha, that's pretty cool actually. You just need to find some mickey mouse arms to use as the hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 6694- dates from the first quarter of 1964 according to the case back- I 64. Also, the 6694 wasn't made in 1949. Good looking watch. Also, interesting point rosnik- open 6 on the 26- I bet it also has round top threes. The 26 on a 1680 Sub is closed, and the 3's are flat top. Same time frame, but Rolex did use different date wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
