Why We Love This Watch

Through clever marketing, superior craftsmanship, and proven reliability and durability, Rolex was able to cement itself as a luxury watch while maintaining the robust quality they're initially known for. Eventually, it has become a symbol of success and is usually bought as a reminder of a great milestone in life.

Nowadays, one would have to wait a lot longer to get their first Rolex. The solution? A lesson from the past via the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694. Sporting a 34mm case that wears like a 36mm, it also features drilled lug holes, which gives a nod to its tool watch roots and makes for easy strap changes. Also, an interesting feature is that this Rolex features a Rolex 1225 movement, which is a manual-wound movement, an interesting departure from Rolex’s usual automatic movements. A manual-wind watch may seem like a "step down" from an automatic at first, but once you start gripping the Rolex crown and slowly wind it, you'll start to see the Oysterdate Precision come to life. You then recall the ups and downs that led you to a truly priceless reward. Seeing the symbol of your success every day, what's not to love about that?
