I wouldn't bother setting the date, as I never do on any of the watches we own.
The pictures are profoundly over brightened so I hope the dial is as pristine as it appears. Otherwise a nice watch and polishing of these oldies is to be expected. I'm a big fan of these vintage precisions and your 6694 is a great model as well. I wouldn't bother setting the date, as I never do on any of the watches we own. Heck my wife doesn't even bother to set the time.
As the sun began to set on the horizon, casting a warm glow across the land, I felt a sense of liberation wash over me. It was as if a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, I felt truly free.
The revelation that had led to this newfound freedom was one that had been brewing inside of me for some time, slowly growing and taking shape until it had reached a point of critical mass. It was a realization that I had been living my life in a way that was not true to myself, that I had been suppressing my true desires and passions in order to conform to the expectations of others.
But no longer. As I stood there, gazing out at the beautiful landscape before me, I knew that I was ready to embrace my true self, to let go of the shackles of societal norms and expectations and to live my life in a way that was authentic and true to who I truly was.
The feeling of liberation was intense and exhilarating, and I knew that from that moment on, my life would never be the same. I was ready to take control, to follow my heart and to pursue my dreams with a newfound sense of freedom and purpose.
And as the sun disappeared behind the horizon, I knew that I was ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, one that would take me to places I had never imagined and lead me to a life of fulfillment and happiness.
This is the revelation for all who learn to ignore the date complication.
Thanks all for the responses. I thought the same and ordered it. I was mostly concerned about a redial. I can always return it if there are any issues that don’t show up in the photos. As usual, I’ll take it to my local watchmaker to verify it’s legit.
Agree but not too concerned with a few scratches on the sides if it shows up that way.
Yep the biggest concern is the dial and hopefully it's as nice as the heavily edited pics show. 6694 dials are a dime a dozen but no date dials are a bit harder to find.
I went into a Tourneau, pre-pandemic, that had one of these in the pre-owned case. The saleswoman insisted it was an automatic. I said, er, I believe this is a manual wind, and a beautiful one at that. She insisted it was automatic. I said alright, have someone open the case back. If it turns out to be an automatic, I will buy it for double the price. If it turns out to be a manual, you have to sell it to me for half the price. She declined.
