Your thoughts on this Rolex Oyster Speedking 6430
Hi All!
I am considering this Speedking. The seller has told me that it is from 1952-1953 (serial number 847***). Can you shed some light on whether the parts are original? Unfortunately, the seller did not provide any movement pics. Would love some of your expertise as I'm quite a beginner in this. Thanks! |

First off, the speedking is a very small watch. Only 31mm in diameter. Ladies/boys size.
The hands are a much later, most likely service replacement; probably late 70s as is the bracelet too. It is a solid link bracelet which didnt come about until the mid to late 70s. It only has 9 links on the bracelet so it will fit a very small wrist. Full size mens watches usually have 13 links. Also, I dont like the way the end links fit the lugs. Could be overpolishing on the case. If it is priced accordingly then you can very easily bring this watch back to its original glory.
