Rolex 6518 hands
I have seen (what i assume is) a 6518 arrowhead OP Date. It has batons for hands but most photos i have seen have alpha or dauphine hands. Did the 6518 ever come with batons? Sorry about the photo, had my kids with me so it was just a quick photo through the window. I have bought from this jewellers before and trust him.

They are most likely later service hands. The correct hands can be found easy enough though. The bracelet looks to be later as well.

The bracelet is folded links which i thought was correct for the 60’s (not sure of the date yet but i remember him telling me before he had it in his shop it was from the 60’s). vintagewatchcompany.com has a similar 6518 with batons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
