Rolex Oysterdate 6694 - Blue Dial

     As I have stated on previous stories, Blue dialed vintage Rolex's are very finicky. Most often you will find them with paint decay: either around the hour markers or the lume. Finding one without paint decay is no easy task. But we aren't here for easy. I enjoy the hunt and when I find a clean vintage blue dial Rolex I like to grab them up and offer them here in the vintage watch shop. Enjoy!
