Vintage Rolex
Understated Rolex. The only Rolexes I like and this is a superb example. Congratulations Bill!
A word of caution about the lumen. Do have it checked for radiation. I recently acquired a great 1958 vintage watch (not a Rolex) and have just checked it for gamma radiation at greater than 10.00 µSv/hour. It was off the scale of my hand Geiger, so my watch is rather unwearable for the moment until I have the lumen removed.

Oldie but goodie Rolex 6569 Oyster Perpetual using cal. 1030. OCC
All lume plots perfectly intact. Rolex 6569 from around 1958 with a 37x,xxx serial. Silver indexes and tapered dauphine hands. Powered by calibre 1030 chronometer rated self winding movement with sweep seconds. Bill ...
It is very basic but it still speaks Rolex.
The small details. Raised crown, Quasi Dauphine hands, 3 6 9 battons, Lume plots all around, Blued seconds hand. All the Rolex DNA. Thanks for looking. Bill
Swiss only dial with OCC nice touch.
Means have some nice genuine lume. And a hairy wrist shot. Rolex 6569 with cal 1030 movement occ dial ...
I am a sport Rolex guy this watch we never get wrist time.
Goes to the safe box with many such brothers. Bill

Thanks for your thoughts.
I hear your concern on the lume but considering that there are tens of thousands or 100\'s of thousands of watches from all brands and zero stories other than the factory workers we know about and one attempt at law suit 50 years ago from a family in Ny t...
Radiation in time pieces
Dear Bill I understand your point of view, which I agree to a limited extent, provided one knows and understands the risks (like smoking) and does not wear an overly radiant watch at night and only during the day occasionally if necessary. One needs to id...
All i can say is there is no watch dial related evidence.
That is the problem of the internet information flows freely and quoted time and again. I simply say where are all the cases of watch owners claims in courts of law backed by medical examination. I am no scientist or doctor. I just think the claims are no...
Gamma radiation
The cell phone radiation myth has nothing to do with the pre-1960 watch lumen problems. Cell phones only emit radio waves in the VHF band at relatively low energy, so please do not confuse them with watch lumen. Radium 226 isotope is not found in cell pho...
OK so we should tell people not to injest or lick their dial. Other than that no harm.
The rest no body will debate. Thx
yes...its very clear that smoking causes cancer.....
proving that is far harder. same with watch radiation.... because watch radiation would be even harder to prove, we dont see mountains of evidence. ....that doesnt mean it isnt there.
Glad you like it
I am turning to the 34mm oldies world! Plenty of beuty pieces out there Gracias, Nicolas! Cheers
