Condition & Authentication
The watch has been opened and the movement, case, dial, and visible identifying markings have been inspected. The movement is signed “Montres Rolex S.A. Geneva Swiss,” marked “Twenty Six 26 Jewels,” and is consistent with the Rolex caliber 1161 used in reference 6618 watches of this period.
The stainless steel case and case back show scratches, surface wear, lug repair and other signs of previous use consistent with the age of a vintage watch. The silver-tone dial presents well for its age.
The leather strap is a replacement and is not represented as an original Rolex strap. Individual components on vintage watches may have been serviced or replaced during their lifetime; no representation is made regarding complete originality beyond the components specifically inspected and described.
Serial number omitted from the public listing.
No original box or papers are included.
