Hi everyone, i'm new to the Rolex Forums but I wanted to find out more about a Rolex Oyster Commando that was given to me by my father. From what i've read these seems to be rare. How can I find out more about it, i'm not a watch expert by any stretch. I can take some pictures to post if needed. Thanks

Hi everyone, i was given a Rolex Oyster Commando from my father a few years ago, he bought it brand new for $300 at the time while in the military. I was doing some research on it and it seems to be a pretty rare Rolex, I took it to an authorized Rolex dealer and it indeed has the 6429 case number. It's a beautiful wind-up watch, Just wanted to share this. How much are these worth these days?

I'm not sure what it is you are doing wrong??
Try using a different image code...

I've got your link working on post 6...You were using an image code for a link!

I'm not sure with Flickr, but you must have options for a direct image code?
Try that if you wish to post more pics!
