I would be very careful about paying large amounts of money for something like this, you are entering a minefield and I hope others can shine more light on this for you than I can, but with my extremely limited knowledge I would pass on this.

All about price and if you enjoy the search, it will a fair job and costly to sort it out.

Looks like he says he has it already. These are rare, I have owned 3 & only one had a really good dial. Yours is missing hands and bezel and bezel insert. Both very expensive and not easy to find. You can google past sales and get a value but very subjective because of quality of dial. So you have a rare incomplete watch that will be expensive to make whole.

hello all thank you for you answers .
i goggled the prices and this one is only made 10 times (article i found)
so i think (after antiquorums sale 212000 usd for a white one 2018)this is worth a fortune i found bezel and hands and strap for ca 10 000 usd all together .

Well, good luck with your search for gold, while using incomplete and erroneous information

Missing a like-function.

Not easy trying to help people when they aren’t really receptive.

my information isnt wrong its real sir
i am not lookinkg for gold
i found it

and by the way :
Earlier this month December Sotheby’s had a rare 6536-1 first series with no hashmark bezel in unpolished condition sell for an astounding USD 225’000. That is a new world record price for any small crown watch. Not only that, but it was 11x higher than the low estimate of $20’000. Up until now the strongest prices small crowns have achieved are selling for the CHF/ USD 100- 150’000 range. Like this example, a 6536-1that recently sold by Christies.
so check before you talk

What I think Michael is trying to say is that it is not a 212k watch even with correct hands and insert. Parts that are likely to cost you a small fortune. The dial condition is far from great and that will be the base of the watch value once done.

It may still be a worthwhile project but be prepared to pay anywhere from 1-5k for hands and up to 50k for an insert. And even then you will likely have a value which is much lower than you think.

Just because you piece an old watch back together does not mean it is instantly worth what another sold for. Go ahead and do what you think is right since you came on here looking for advice but as soon as advice is given, you question the advice given. That is not a good way to make friends here and this site is made up of some of the best minds known to the Rolex community.

I think it would be a good idea to take a deep breath and confirm what you have is without doubt the genuine article. I also used Google and turned up a 1955 6536/1 with significant differences in both dial and caseback.

Were there different dial variations/caseback variations? what about the case? Is it suspect in any way? The providence of the watch? Before I would put 1 dollar into this I would have to be absolutely sure about what I have. A collection of bits like this can be a very expensive and frustrating experience.

Please show us the hands and insert you can buy for 10k. Not very likely to be correct I’m afraid.

[tobiaslohr]

will send pics by tomorrow when i get to see and check them .

I stand by my comments. Not at all disrespectful but when you ascertain that Google information is the end all & “have found gold while still posting your finds
You have to expect that some may find you a bit off in your reply’s. Hopefully you are really a passionate collector. I look forward to the auction.
