[My impression]
I really like the warm tone of this original champagne dial.
The Ref.6694 stayed in production into the late 1980s, so this 1978 example belongs to the later half of its long production run, though not the very last period.
[Dial] : Very Good
It appears original. No clear signs of redial, repainting, or relume.
[Hands] : Very Good
They appear original, with no clear signs of replacement or relume.
[Crystal] : Very Good
Plexiglass.
[Case, crown and back of the case] : Good
The case shows age-related wear. Crown screw-in is very good (approx. 2.0 turns to unlock). The serial engraving is clear.
[Band] : New
New aftermarket leather strap, not Rolex.
[Action] : Very Good
Hand-winding, time-setting, and date change around midnight work properly.
[Accuracy] : Very Good
About -1 to +9 sec/day. (Measured by Timegrapher)
