How about... Rusty? That's a very cool watch, and the red wheel is just awesome! What's the age on that?

It's a Datejust 6605 1st qtr 1957, it appears to still have some chamfer left. I'm stoked.

Love it Roger these are quite rare and I've always loved the roulette date wheel, give me something good to look forward to (even numbered days).

I was originally looking for a turn o graph (Thundetbird) but decided on this one. It looks pretty much unpolished and it's just been serviced which is a plus. You know I'm a suckered for old dusty Rusty watches

Can't wait for Rusty to arrive on your door step! You've always got an interesting vintage incoming lined up!
