I managed to acquire this vintage 1957 Rolex Precision ref. 6494 with a gorgeous black honeycomb dial with gilt writing. The watch is another closet queen that was found inside a cigar box by the son of the original owner who passed away recently. Strap will be replaced with a proper Rolex bracelet.
Here is the watch now with a proper Rolex leather strap. I also have the original riveted bracelet but I like it better with leather,
@erpin9 A classic look and a terrific find. These 1950s era References make outstanding dress watches.
