6605 with red numbers?
Hi,
I have what is the early stages of a watch collection, the last watch I bought was a two tone DATEJUST, after dating the watch to what I think is 1945, I am thinking it is a very early datejust, and now i am wondering if the red even numbers and black odd numbers on the date real are any significance?
I would appreciate anyone that could share their knowledge about the watch.
I have added a picture below.
Thanks for looking at my post.

a little lack of knowledge
HI, Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what does that mean? Does it make the watch any rarer or collectible? Thank you. Andy
That was a very nice feature in the Rolex line, which...
... as many other small cool details, like lug bevels on sport models, was saddly abandoned by Rolex. Fortunately, the roulete wheel date, it is presently used again in some lines, like the TOG model. Kind regards, Abel.
