Rolex 6536, what did they change in the service
Bought a Rolex 6536 with service paper, can a vintage specialist on here confirm what's still original and what's service and what was serviced !?
Thank you |

So the current value is far less due to the service ?

Hi Fella, I did a quick search and the following are some comments that I found that may be of interest,
Can't give too much history, I love the reference but continuity is tough with these, often there are replacement parts etc. As such, prices are very wide depending on the continuity. Parts for these are not cheap. 6536 is a rare bird in all original conditions Even with service parts it looks good to me, can I ask what date its from ?

By now it should be a dark brown and no longer lume except under UV light. Maybe it’s me but this lume looks to be green. Shouldn’t the bezel triangle be red? Sent from my cracked, broken hand wound phone. IG @morning_tundra |

Have you ever had the case back off and looked at the condition of the movement?

early service dial,hands and bezel current watch value as is 15ishkusd
original gilt 6536/1 dial will cost 10-15kusd (if you can find) original gilt 6536/1 hands will cost 3-5kusd (if you can find) original red triangle bezel will cost 12-15k usd (if you can find) its cheaper and easier to find a complete original watch very long journey to complete this project |

I’d buy red triangle inserts all day for 12-15k by the way. I am guessing you would need to pay double that.

I would be inclined to keep it and enjoy it as is......you obviously liked it enough to buy it so why not continue to enjoy? It is a fine watch with or without the service replacement parts and one that I would certainly liked to have in my small collection. Thanks for sharing.

But, if I felt that I was possibly taken advantage of, mislead about the components, and are now learning that it's far from original, for me, I don't think I could ever truly enjoy wearing it. In fact, I'd feel sick every time I looked at it. |

It’s crazy the prices that vintage parts alone command these days...

Just to confirm, is it a 6536 (6538 crossed out inside case back) or a 6536-1?
