Picture please so we can see the ref and condition. Oyster Date, Day Date, Datejust, Precision or chronometer etc! Bracelet or strap??

May I be so rude as to piggy-back this thread?!

I fancied a birth-year Rolex OysterDate as a cheap and functional daily wearer so duly purchased a 1978 model. However, once received, it turned out to be a 1966 not my birth year of 1978. I'd like to sell it and get my actual birth year.

So, to summarise - its a 1966 Rolex OysterDate, stainless steel, blue face, aftermarket bracelet, no papers or box, good scratch free condition but needs a service I'd say as its now losing 2 mins a day! What might it be worth? (If anything!)

If its a 6694 OysterDate Precision without fault and with a perfect dial then Id say that its worth a minimum of £600 for the head - possibly more depending on detail, the day and who is there. Most came on an Oyster bracelet but theyre frequently split because the bracelet was used on early Daytonas too.

Apologies for lack of detail, watch belongs to an old friend who does not use computers, he put it in a Jiffy bag yesterday and sent it to co in London, [minimum £500 advert] will advise onoutcome.
