I’m by no means an expert on the 6694, but I believe they came without the percision text on the dial. It looks legit to me.
Looks like yours is based on the caliber 1210 (1215 or 1225) which was made with numerous levels of adjustment, up to 6-positions. The subject watch is marked unuadjusted which may have something to do with the lack of the word precision on the dial. Looks like a good one! My source indicates introduction circa 1954, but I have a Rolex Royalite model with this movement from circa early 1940s. The Royalite has a 6-position movement in it. The dial on mine is marked Observatory. Yours has the KIF shock protection system on the balance staff. Mine is not shock resistant.
The Lettering “Unadjusted” was for tax dodge at the time.
It was not a “tax dodge”. It was done to not pay the additional US Customs that applied to the adjustments. So these watch movements were generally imported un-cased.
Once imported, many watch companies in the US had factories here that cased and adjusted watches prior to sale.
So the word “unadjusted” really refers only to status at the time of importation, not final sale.
