i have received pm asking me @ what price is a 6694 worth. so rather than keep replying in pm, i would share it here.
if you have done your legwork in areas such as the bencoolen, people's park complex. you would have noticed the price of such pieces in the region of 1300. these watches are of course without warranty papers. some of these have re-conditioned dials.
as far as i know on the original rolex dials, there are
1) white/gray with silver markers
2) yellow/champagne with gold markers
3) blue with silver markers
4) black with silver markers
5) black with gold markers
for pricing, i would pay
a 6694 without box and papers is in the region of 1300
a 6694 with box and papers is in the region of 2100
a 6694 with papers is in the region of 1800
there are mainly 2 types of bracelet, the thick bracelet and the thin bracelet where there is a connecting piece between the links
things to look out for when purchasing one
1) check serial number on case lug matches that with papers if any.
2) check that there are no broken/damaged links especially for thin bracelet.
3) check for spotting on hands, dials for non-modified dials
4) check for signs of corrosion on case and case back
5) ensure that the acrylic crystal is original.
hope that these information helps you when u r buying one. this is because a full service aka full overhaul @ RSC would cost you a region of 400. do note that currently there are still parts in RSC, but the stock are slowly depleting especially for thin bracelet. RSC will not have parts for watches that are more than 40 years from the date it is announced discontinuation.
so do note how long you intend to keep this watch and when u like to bring in for a full service. after that most likely only non RSC technicians can service your watch.
good luck in your purchase.
