Look at the space between the lugs at 6 and 12 o clock, and open it, the case back will also give you some informations. Very nice specimen you have, here. [nt]

Just picked up this vintage oyster but struggling to find much information on it.
Anyone on this forum could provide some information on this model or any helpful link? Such a pretty simple looking watch like its younger brother the OP. But quite slim to wear. 🙂 ...
Yes!
I bet it's something between reference 6422 and 6426, 34-36mm case, manual winding!
Thanks really enjoying it alot as it's hard to come across slim rolexes...
It's actually a 36mm 6424 that came with a bracelet, but I find so flimsy so put it on a leather strap and it looks just as good. Problem is I tried looking for information on the 6424 but cant find much on it...😬😬
Hi amanico, I dont have the tool to open the back the back
But RSC had a look at it and noted the model as 6424/0 with a 1210 movement.
It doesn't say but serial is 307xxx
Which from what I saw on the web dates to about 1957?
Well, you can find some very basic info.
Those references were among the commonest on the market for many years. I am curious about the lug holes and the "flimsy" bracelet...
Ohhhhh!
That's what I wanted to see, the original riveted bracelet and that very special case with no holes (today widespread). Very nice watch YM, really. My strong suggestion is not to touch, change, or upgrade anything. Thanks for sharing, enjoy it! Cheers, Si...
I've quite happy with the current condition simone, and keeping the bracelet separately...
By the way seen a similar model on this hodinkee video previously... youtu.be
Thanks kev, it's a nice piece to complement its other nemesis...😄
It's got a little scratch on the dial and the lugs a little polished... ...
Looking at available database it seems to be dated to 1957...
Have to say the oyster case and seconds hand is really good quality for the corresponding period....
Send me the watch, I will do all the leg work
and get every piece of information available on it for you. Once I have everything I will be happy to send all of the information back to you. See, problem solved.
