Hi folks -
I am about to pick up this 6694 (?) (from 1972-1973), and I would to get some feedback on how it looks from the group.

Also, should this be a manual wind, or auto?

Thank you!

Looks nice and is a manual wind.

Looks great. How much will you get it for? A thousand dollars approx?

I have the same watch - according serial number 1971 - but mine has another braclett - yours seem to be of newer date

kwcross · 4 July 2009, 12:23 AM

Yep, that is the exact price.

Thank you everyone! I am sending the funds for it next week, and hope to have it by Tuesday or Wednesday. I will post on TRF when it arrives. Best,
Ken

Hmm...

This really looks like the model my dad is having! If it is the same model, it should be a manual wind.

This reminds me...

About 15 years ago my dad let me wear it to school for 1 day, and wonder why it stops ticking the next day

Then I realized it needs to manually wind up. During then I used to wear a Seiko 5 which was sent in for servicing.

That is what a watch should look like IMO! The Platonic ideal. Perfect!
