The Oysterdate Precision 6694 occupies an attractive price range and is categorized as an entry-level Rolex replica with its all-steel construction and asynchronous hand-wound movement. For the fledgling vintage watch collector, it can represent a great first-time purchase for the brand. It’s a very affordable model that’s easy to find on the pre-owned market, but even knowledgeable enthusiasts will overlook it, so it’s unlikely you’ll encounter many in the wild.
Over its incredibly long lifespan of nearly three decades, it has appeared in many different dial color options, with blue, silver, and black being by far the most prevalent. Look closely and you’ll notice that some versions have gold accents on the indexes and hands, while others have champagne-colored dials, offering a two-tone aesthetic without the price advantage of a steel and gold Rolex watch.
While its 34mm case sounds particularly small by modern standards, it is a bit large on the wrist, probably due to its thinner, flatter case design and the simplicity of the dial itself. There is little text other than the Rolex name and the single “Precision” inscription on the lower half of the case, while the mostly blank surface area evokes some presence. Perhaps the Oysterdate Precision ref. 6694, however, appeals to people of different genders. While it may have started out as a men’s watch, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6694 looks equally good on a woman’s wrist, especially given the modern trend of women wearing larger watches.
When the need arises, Rolex can produce luxury and complicated watches just like any other manufacturer. However, the brand’s reputation is built on very simple, effortlessly elegant models that can be worn for 100 years without looking dated – for many collectors, this is the true essence of Rolex.
The replica Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 is one such watch. It is Rolex’s most basic model, but it still has the perfect pedigree of the brand and offers the iconic Cyclops lens magnifying date display that has become the symbol of Rolex watches. While some models in the collection shout or brag about their capabilities, the Oysterdate’s sparse design is virtually silent, and for those who appreciate the model, that’s what makes it so great.
The Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 is modest in size and style for those who want an unassuming, reliable watch with an impeccable pedigree and appreciate the understated fake Rolex without overtly advertising it as such. The Reference 6694 Oysterdate is a thoughtful watch for men or women and is sure to be a watch that will last for years to come.
