6511b Thoughrs?
Hello Everyone!
I’m a massive fan of vintage day dates. Having acquired a 60s yellow gold, 70s white gold, I now need a rose gold piece. I just acquired this 59 6511b. Anything I should know? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The only thing I have to say is I want it. I like you thinking YG, WG, RG, . I also have the first 2 and missing the 3rd. BYW those alpha hands are to die for, and the overall pristine condition.
Congrats !! |

I'm sorry to say that the lugs finishing looks all wrong. They should be brushed, as all the 4-digits Day-Dates are, and not completely polished.
Have a look at this one that DP has for sale: https://davideparmegiani.ch/it/watch/rolex-6511b-2/ |

Sure, it's been polished before and the case isn't as sharp as it would have been originally, but I'm liking it. Love those coffin-style markers ![]() |

![]() ![]() While not factory, polished are an alternative to boring old brushed lugs.. Always remember its your watch, not Rolex or the forum originality Nazis. :) |

I had it serviced by Dallas RSC in 2006 and this is how it left there, Forgive me Rolex elves, I haven't even seen this watch in over three years! It's in a cold, dark bank box

And, BTW, here in Europe we tend to use the "Nazi" word with a grain of salt. It's not something we like to use lightly. Welcome to my ignore list. |
