Description
This is an automatically translated text.
The watch was restored to its original delivery condition by Rolex Geneva for more than a year in 2022. The bezel was recreated in Bakelite according to old drawings. The hands and dial have not been reworked and are still original from 1958. The Geiger counter reacts strongly to the radiation from 1958. The bracelet has been newly donated and extensively reworked. The case has been polished and restored to new condition and still has the Rolex protective film. The movement has been completely disassembled. In terms of pure condition, the watch is certainly the best 6542/8 in the world. All parts except the bezel are from 1958 and it comes with the original Rolex restoration booklet and box from the Rolex restoration studio. The watch is still under Rolex warranty until mid-2024. The restoration invoice from Rolex Geneva in the higher five-digit range is of course available. The watch can be handed over at our bank, as it is stored in a safe deposit box. Shipping is only possible if the money is at my sole disposal and the buyer organizes the shipping at his own expense and risk. No payment systems will be accepted that withhold the money until the buyer releases it. The fairest method is a personal handover of money and watch.
