Movement picture? Different sides, all engravings, clasp code, endlink stamping? Can't say anything from one picture.

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Regarding your question, I have no idea.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

Don't think Rolex made the OysterDate Precision 6694 with a two tone bracelet. Also what Rx4Time mentioned above about pictures needed.

Found one with the two tone folded links bracelet but it also has a gold fluted bezel. Couldn't see the code for the bracelet or end links though.

That's a fake from Silix' era. Date window too small and offset. I had two of these. Great watches but the manual wind movement on it does not share the same date position as the genuine Rolex 1225 movement. This one being too close to the the dial edge/rehaut.

Are we SOL if we're looking for more old 34mm 1500 and 6694 reps? I have a gen 6694 gilt dial and while it's great to finally own a gen, I'd love to have something more pristine looking - as a rep would. Would love to see what exists in the rep world for these models.

Not really SOL, you'd need:

-Case that fits the dial diameter. A gen case set popped up some months back on here, keep an eye out.
-Movement that fits the case and dial window (you can shave off the feet of the dial and attach the dial to the movement using dial dots)
-Crystal with the correct position for your dial.

I sadly do not know where to point you to source this, I gave up on this project a while back.
