Thoughts on this 6694?

Considering this black dial 6694. The black dial seems quite hard to find for these. Any red flags?

The price

4 grand for a basic entry level 2 grand watch. Ouch. Those prices are 2 years too late.
A lot of fake dials on that site. I would avoid. Who knows how many other aftermarket parts were used.

Way overpriced with a 7835 folded bracelet and not the later solid link 78350.

Legit. With other parts though.

Thanks all for the opinions/advice. Going to pass on this one. Any thoughts on the best sites to look around for one of these (that's not priced ridiculously high and is in decent shape)?

Most of the ones I see either have a silver dial, or a refinished dial unfortunately. The silver isn't bad, but since I already have a silver Air King, it would sort of feel like having two of the same watch. The black with the steel markers is rather striking.

6694s were made in such abundance, dont worry about the color of the dial, just find a nice overall watch. Dials are everywhere. Dials pop up on eBay all the time and any competent watchmaker can swap out a dial.

Just be careful and find a genuine dial. There are many fakes.

True. Ive seen a few (already sold) examples with a black service dial and hands which look great. Half tempted to get a beat up one and give it the RSC treatment.
