Did Rolex make a 6694 Explorer?
I am trying to get information on a 6694 "Explorer"
Did Rolex actually make this watch or did someone make the dial? See pictures |

I've never seen that dial before. I think we'd've seen a lot of them if they were legit, look at the watch, handsome. But don't BUY it

Refinished dial I would say. As others have said, looks sharp, but I wouldn't buy it.

Looks like a Frankenwatch to me. Check out this article, it should give you an idea about all legit references with an Explorer-like dial:

Reviving this thread to show images of another so-called 6694 Explorer that I found in the wild yesterday while browsing some vintage watch shops (dated 59 based on serial no). I am guessing this is a Franken as well, but if so, it's rather well done and visually appealing (Gilt dial with some barely noticeable bubbling on the gloss dial - the imperfections you see are the plastic wrapping that was over it).

Well for the right price I’d consider that one

It was offered for exactly 4k USD. I could bargain a bit on it. Worth it?
What is it exactly? Hands and hour markers glowed perfectly in harmony under UV.

It does look cool, but that’s a lot of money for a dodgy dial

They didn't, and not keen on the top of the E in ROLEX.
