AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This classic timepiece is the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6294, a vintage watch produced around 1953. It houses the classic vintage manual-winding Caliber 740. The watch has a diameter of approximately 34mm and is in excellent condition with a beautiful appearance.

Dial:

Features a cream/silver-white dial with a slight patina, paired with applied gold "alpha hands" and unique "dagger/teardrop" applied hour markers.

Two-tone Date Wheel Design: A major collector's highlight of this model is the red date wheel, which was highly sought after by collectors in certain models or those featuring a "roulette date wheel" design.

Movement:

The watch is powered by the classic vintage manual-winding Caliber 740, produced in the 1950s. SUPERBALANCE (patented balance wheel), a landmark patented invention by Rolex from the 1930s to the early 1950s, features an in-place balance wheel weight screw, effectively reducing air resistance and improving timekeeping accuracy.

This movement has recently undergone a "clean-oil" service, and is in remarkably clean condition, free from severe moisture damage or deep scratches from inferior tools. This classic early Rolex movement is of great research and aesthetic value to antique watch collectors.

Crown:

Original screw-down crown, engraved with the Rolex logo.

Bracelet:

Replacement three-plate stainless steel Oyster bracelet/clasp (non-original), fits up to 18.5mm.

Lugholes: Small holes on the sides of the lugs allowed drivers or owners of the time to quickly change the bracelet using tools.

Shipping:

Delivery method: Postal delivery, EMS; Estimated arrival time: 5-20 days after shipment. Delivery time may be delayed due to postal services or customs procedures; a tracking number will be provided.

Customs and Taxes:

Additional customs duties or taxes may apply depending on your country's import regulations. These costs are the buyer's responsibility. It is recommended to check local customs policies before purchasing.
