                如何開始玩賞及收藏中古手錶~13           Rolex 初階入門錶款介紹: 6694 圖  1: 3款  Rolex  Oysterdate  ref 6694 以6694 作為初階入門原因: 1) 生產年期由1954左右開始至1989年左右,年期長數量多,有極舊老款(60年)至比較年青(30年) 2) 價錢比較大眾化, 現時(2023年9月)大約HKD15000--24000左右,視乎錶面顏色/狀態而定。 以入門計,就算買錯了風險相對細 3) 同樣都係多款錶面顏色面配搭,多樣化很好玩 4) 機芯相對簡單,勞力士官方仍會提供檢修服務,坊間維修亦容易。 以6694作為起點,認真了解鑑賞評斷手錶狀態,特別是針面錶殼錶帶等知識,對將來升級玩更高階錶作準備。 不過要注意: 1) 6694 是34mm錶徑,連錶冠36mm,現時市場喜歡大,此錶真不是主流。但話又說回來,以前vintage手錶一向都不大。玩vintage 講究的是優雅品味,這兩樣絕對不是由尺寸決定的! 2) 6694 是人手每天上鏈 (manual winding),不是自動錶(automatic) 以下列出多款錶面配搭供研究,每錶連結至GOOGLE相薄,提供大量相片,同一時間可當練習。 圖2 約1970年極靚閃灰面配78350實芯蠔式錶帶 圖2b 圖2c 按此看全部相片 圖3 圖3b 約1973極靚閃藍面嬌金字(Gilt gold) 圖3c 按此看全部相片 圖4 約1978年炒黑粉底(matt black) 嬌金字 (gilt gold) 圖4b 圖4c 按此看全部相片 圖5 約1966年黑色光身底嬌金字 圖5b 圖5c 按此看全部相片 圖6 約1970年銀面直條紋黑字 銀針銀色5分鐘柱記 圖6b 圖6c 按此看全部相片 圖7 1981年淡黃香檳金面黑字金針金色5分鐘柱記 圖7b 上文說鋼鐵板皇冠至約1960年代中嗎?以前換錶面是常態,勞力士官方都認可。對於非勞力士貴價運動錶而言,錶面是否對期影響不大。最重要看狀態。 圖7c 圖7d 按此看全部相片 圖8 約1977年極靚銀面,一流狀態。 圖8b 圖8c ...

This is a completely flat crown. Usually, the middle pillar top is placed right to the 00:00 position. Noted whether this is glue sign when buying. If so, it may be re-glued on dial. Photo 2 Injection molded crown, used from mid to late 1960's till now This is made with melted steel pouring into a pre built mold.
