    Asking $2800 shipped in the U.S, only comfortable shipping it within the US.

    Up for sale is a really nice 1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6581. Watch was just overhauled and is in fantastic condition. Case is unpolished with original finish and the engine turned bezel is super sharp. Dial has a really nice light yellow patina and is original along with the hands. Crystal has some spider-webbing around the edges but is original so I left it on the watch. Watch comes on rivet bracelet which is in very good condition. Any questions feel free to pm me! :)

    Wonderful dial and engine turned bezel, Kyle. Original brevet crown, too. Any shots of the movement and inner caseback from time of service, perhaps? Also of the inner clasp of the bracelet (looks to be a 7205 from the 57 end piece); assuming the watch is 34mm? I'm surprised you are not keeping this beauty...

    Nope, but I dropped a Speedmaster auto before and the crystal shattered...that was a disaster.

    Honestly I don't mind...I get to wear it a bit longer! :)
