A very accurate manual wind movement but no quickset for the date.

Congrats. I love my 6694 on both an oyster and black leather strap. Looks classy either way.

+1. Cool watch--but since its a comparatively old soldier, be sure to get a competent watchmaker who can give it a look over. PARTICULARLY the case sealing points (back/crown & tube/crystal), because these are what will ensure that moisture/water/dust don't enter the case and harm the movement.
Assuming good case integrity and good gaskets/acrylic crystal, it should be able to fully live up to its "Oyster" title. |

Thanks all for the comment. The watch was serviced abt half a year ago. :) and the condition i wld say is 90%.
Initially thot of giving to my wife as a surprise present, but after few look at the watch, I am thinking of wearing it myself! |
