On a date, is the number 6 open or closed?

All three of mine 50's 60's and 80's have an open 6 one in red . The dial is aftermarket and badly done the seller should disclose this. I would also like to have have a closer look at the bracelet looks like an Italian with Rolex markings.

I happen to read the thread for Friday Wrist Check, and they were questioning a watch that had an open 6..and on my watch, all of the 6's are closed.

I went through those posts, as well as the ones in this Wrist Check: http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=121607
Apart from the original watch that was in question, I didn't see another open 6...

Wrist Check fake dial not wheel. Now you will see open 6s and all of my DD are now messed up. You should make my pink name turn green.

Thank you for showing all your watches with a 6 in the date. I am both grateful and sorry that you have to reset them all.

You referenced that they are from 50's 60's and 80's... Do you happen to know if there a specific year they stopped using that font?

Thank you again for being a patient teacher.
Marie

Could be either on pretty much any model. Date wheels are often, easily and cheaply changed.

We were bonding; of course I now just got up. As a man of leisure I have great latitude in how I live my life. This morning I chose to reset the time on two non/quick and a double/quick DD. Non/quick hurts my thumb and index finger.

As long as you didn't get a hang nail resulting in an insurance claim, no problem.
