My Vintage Rolex 6494

I caught this beautiful 1957 Rolex Precision ref. 6494 with manual wind movement. What blew me away is the pristine black honeycomb dial with gilt writing. Truly gives the watch that elegant appeal.

Put that thing on a high gloss Louisiana alligator strap; it deserves it.

Beautiful! I don't care what anyone says, 34mm and 36mm vintage watches still look great and are not too small!

Methinks it's today's average wearers who inadvertently got supersized
