A Rolex Submariner 6538 to be soon auctioned.

Nicolas

1959 is absolutely correct for 4 lines Nicolas...
Mine was from 1959 as well and was 100% correct watch as you know or might remember. Cheers,
I believe...
1959 is a correct period year for 4 line "OCC"... I've seen it in other Submariner references : - 6536/1 4 line, which I believe 1959 is the last batch for the reference 6536/1 - 5512 with eagle beak crown guard, which is strictly from 1959 - and I've see...
