Help Identifying/Verifying Inherited Watch
Hi folks,
First time poster here. I inherited a watch some time ago and have always wanted to get more information about it. Between the lugs at 12:00 is "6426" and the serial number at 6:00 is in the 452900's, although it's pretty scratched up. The caseback has an inscription dating the watch as a gift in 1960. My issue is that this doesn't look like any other Rolex Oyster I can find online. The font and size of the text on the dial both seem totally out of sync with what seems to be customary to ~1960 or the mid-1940's, when that reference number would've been issued. There is nothing stating it is a Precision or Perpetual. The watch is invaluable to me as a family heirloom, so I suppose it doesn't really matter what comes of this, but it would be nice to understand a little bit more as to why this watch seems so unusual in contrast to what I see online with other 6426 models. Any help or suggestions (or affirmation, or skepticism, even!) would be appreciated. |
