Hi

I'm in the process of buying my first Rolex and becoming one of "you" guys.

Came across this (in my eyes) beautiful watch. But I started wondering if it's the real deal.
Because A: I don't know what to look for. And B: This is the only one I came across with a green dial. See pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/UvzHV

Here are the details the seller added:

5072
Movement: Manual winding
Case material/type: Stainless steel 34 MM size
Bracelet material:Steel
Year: c.1967 (serial 2406xxx)
Condition: 1 (mint)
Gender: Men's watch/Unisex
Location: United States, California, Beverly Hills
Price: $3,250 (= £2,083)
No box, no paper

Hope you guys can help me out! Thanks!

OP, the serial number indicates a 1969 date (here's a link to date codes: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=54362).

If you are looking specifically for a reference 6694 Oysterdate Precision, you can find some on this forum from time to time in the classified section. Just search for 6694. Here is a link to one that currently available (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...highlight=6694).

If you are looking for Rolexes in the $3000 range, you can find some nice Datejusts in the classified section (references 1601, 1601x, 162xx).

I'm sure the vintage experts will add their comments on this nice-looking vintage watch with a green dial.

Cab56,

Very helpful information.
Those Datejusts look great as well. Now I've got more comparing to do haha.

You're welcome. Enjoy the search!! A Rolex is a watch that will last a lifetime (I have my father's watch from the 50s and it runs perfectly).

Thanks for the advice/warning guys. Think I've already found my "match" here in the classified section. Hopefully I'll be posting as a proud owner soon.
