Why We Love This Watch

Before Rolex became the luxury giant that it's now known today, it started out as a tool watch company with an obsession for accuracy and reliability. 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.

Nowadays, getting a Rolex to celebrate a milestone in life is harder to attain than it was a few decades ago. This Oysterdate Precision 6694 however, is still relatively affordable and it's very unique for a Rolex! 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. Another interesting feature is the Rolex 1225 movement, which is manual-wound, an interesting departure from Rolex’s usual automatic. All of life's firsts contribute to memorable experiences, so let this handsome, patinated Rolex Oysterdate 6694 be the best reminder of your first milestone in life.

A Closer Look

This watch is in good condition. It has just been serviced and tells accurate time. The case has hairline scratches and has a minor ding on the left side of the case but is in overall good condition. The dial is original and untouched, and has developed a very nice patina. The hands and indices are in good condition, and the crystal is clean with very minor hairline scratches that go almost unseen.
