Help me identify the Original Box - 1970 Rolex 6694 Oysterdate Precision
Hi all
I've got an original 6694 from 1970, which I've serviced and matched to a bracelet from the same production month. I have zero interest in selling - this is my first Rolex and I've put a fair bit of effort into improving it. What I would like to do though is obtain an original box to store it in. Can the community please let me know what a 1970 6694 would have been sold in? It may well be more than one kind (given my understanding that packaging was less strict back then), but examples from 1970 would be much appreciated. Thanks |

Yes outer a green stripe probably, or old stock to get used up, all green outer box.
These are pricey now mind...inner and outer will be close to 25% of value of your 6694, be warned ;-)

Also be wary, I have seen fakes of this box. Because the same box was used for other, more desirable models, the box showed up on fakers radar.
To be honest, if you find a box from this era to be in perfect condition, it is most likely fake. This is when you want a box to show its age.
