An Absolute Classic, The 1953 Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6549
lifeonthewrist.com
www.lifeonthewrist.com/clothing
The Oyster Perpetual marks a very important achievement by Rolex. Not only did it combine innovations that put Rolex front and center in any conversation about tool watches, it created a lasting legacy for the brand. Looking back at vintage Oyster Perpetuals is also a reminder of the incredible lineage of watches the brand produced.
Looking at the name Oyster Perpetual, there is clearly two innovations that were brought together. Firstly, the Oyster case. In 1926, Rolex launched their famous Oyster case. It was the first waterproof watch and was famously worn by Mercedes Gleitze when she swam across the English Channel. The purpose of the c...

    At this very moment I am wearing a 1969 Bulova (31mm) with a wonderful navy blue dial! I have a few vintage watches including three Omega's (one of which is a Speedmaster) a 1950's Rolex Oyster Perpetual and some Bulova's too. I Actually prefer a smaller watch! My Moon Watch at 42mm feels far too big!

    I wore a cheap quartz pocket watch for years when I worked in a factory where wearing any jewelry on your hands or wrists could be unsafe. I still have a couple of them in my watch collection including an old railroad style mechanical pocket watch. I wear it from time to time as it still keeps excellent time after I regulated it. I keep my mobile phone tucked away in my bag when commuting via public transit so wearing a wrist watch or pocket watch is just a quicker and more convenient way for me to check the time.

    Honestly, there are some uncertainties about how Chrono24 can guarantee authenticity for watches sold by retailers. In addition, they charge an amount for the authenticity check that she could not possibly have carried out herself. Third but not least, this online shop is unable to successfully complete a refund procedure and in my case I had to contact the credit card company themselves to rectify the matter, without further transparency or apology from Chrono24. Even the founding members did not took the effort to question the case, no to respond. In addition, opportunities have been missed due to a delayed refund policy, where the buyer agreed to another offer, but ultimately expired because of a failure to refund. You may understand if you wait for a 5000 euro refund, you're not going to put another five thousand in, until the previous case is solved, right :) The watch I have purchased however looked decent and crisp from the outside, but from the inside parts were confirmed missing by an official dealer, and the warranty cards did not show in the ad, until it became clear the watch came from a Chinese boutique, realy? Defintely, I will spread my own experience on every single watch review out there, because of the wonderful customer service it assumes to offer. What a shame for the true craftsmanship

    It’s a beautiful piece indeed. That said, the hands seem to be relumed in a fashion that renders their shade much lighter than the dial plots and this let’s this wonderful watch down somewhat.

    • @LifeontheWrist
