Rolex Tru Beat Ref 6556.
Circa 1956. Credit picture: Phillips.
Superb looking and very interesting Rolex, with its dead second movement, Cal 1040.
The case is 35 mm big, which is fine for me.
Definitely a reference I should own, one day.
Best,
Nicolas
Wow!
Nice picture there, with historical significance.
This will be a difficult beast to hunt down. Good luck my friend!
A true beauty in all its simplicity! Happy hunting and if I spot one here in the Netherlands I will let you know! [nt]

I see you want to be a nurse for it ;-)
A rare watch, and even rarer with its original mouvement.
Tough it would be strange for a Rolex seconds hand not to move... perpetually.
You must be in love ;-)
I was not aware Rolex made a dead beat mtmv. It looks like they took a page from JLC?
Very cool frérot. I have never seen this model with the dead beat seconds 😉😳 [nt]

This photo hit home...
I woke up this morning thinking I should buy a vintage watch that corresponds to my birth year — 1956! Lo and behold!!
A true beauty in all its simplicity! Happy hunting and if I spot one here in the Netherlands I will let you know! [nt]
