I saw a silver dial in WatchClub @ Amcorp Mall. asking rm6,500

Am sad to know 6694 price has gone up so much. Even in SG, is selling SGD2,000 level today.

Still hunting down a champagne dial 6694

My parents just recently back from Japan vacation, snap many watches photos. Only saw 1 6694. After currency conversion, it shows RM 7.8K. Grey dial.

Those in Malaysia selling 6694, almost 90% I saw they selling is without original bracelet. The bracelet alone can sell around 1K to 1.5K depends on conditions. For newbie hunting vintage watches such as 6694 and so on. Just beware of Frankenstein watch. Many eBay selling with custom dial, leather strap only and fake acrylic glass.

16610 had become ultra rare in Japan too. Mostly all photos show newer 116610 and above for sale.

Do more homework will reduce the risk for sure but still risky. For local direct owner purchase, can oways verify at RSC for a fee.

If lazy to do this, pay premium at watch shop and in return you get their in-house warranty.

Those with ticks are optional.

No matter what you do, do not change the dial. Vintage watch the most important part is the dial. If the acrylic glass minor scratches, use Cape Cod Polishing Cloths and slowly buff away in circular movement.

New buy  blush.gif

Got it from a member here. Have to say I prefer this over the Red as it's much more easier to match around with clothing and not too flashy.

I think that's enough watches for this year

What I don't like about the watch though is the lack of an AR, makes it a little hard to see the time at certain angles and under the sun.
