Open sixes and nines
I just realized I have them on my '86 DJ. I see many celebratory posts about open sixes and nines. Are they rare, more desirable, or uncommon?
When did they stop being open? |

In a short answer, no. Rolex change fonts regularly and it doesn't really increase the value of the watch.

 I prefer the classic 6 & 9 fonts.

Would you guys say that on the older watches having a silver datewheel is more important for value then the font style while on something like a 16800 it is more important to have the open 6 and 9's?
