what means "royal"?
was this a "luxury" version of the oyster?

andromeda160 · 26 February 2015, 12:58 PM

Oyster Royals were specifically made for Great Britain and Canada, they seem to command a few hundred dollar premium, I think they're interesting, I had a Tudor one, though I can't remember if it was a Tudor Essex, Royal, or London, they were all essentially the same thing, just with different names for the british commonwealth. there's literally no difference from any other 6426 other than the line of text; and while I find them interesting, I do not thing they're worth a premium

thank you ;)

on the mine, I have no inscription between the lugs on one side and on the other side "registered design".

is it normal for a model of 1961 ?

No serial ?

salamander007 · 2 March 2015, 02:11 AM

I have beter seen with a magnifying and I can write "6426 REGISTERED DESIGN" and at 6 "...3...".

so I think the inscrpitions have just diappeared with time...
strange, the seller says me he can date the watch with the bottom of the case... is it possible ?

inside the case back it will have a date the case back was made

salamander007 · 20 May 2015, 01:41 AM

my oyster comes back from a service by rolex and on the paper of the warranty, the reference is 6426/0... but, I think, my model is 6427... strange no ?

salamander007 · 21 May 2015, 09:43 PM

nobody has an idea ?

6426/27 are the same thing with a different bezel. 6426/0 is probably just what they use to classify it as a 6426 or another variant when it comes in for service.

6427 has a different bezel, sort of engined one

It gets a little shruggy with some of these references. The case back can be stamped with a completely different model than what's between the lugs, and it came that way from the factory. If it fits, it ships. Rolex motto from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

I'm sure mine says 6422, but need new eyes nowadays! Judging by the dial etc. must be 6427?
