It is a 1952 Rolex Oyster Precision ref 6426, fully restored with its original dial and hands, no box or papers but includes a Rolex strap. I have it reserved for 3800 AUD or 2508 USD. Just wondering if this is worth buying as it is in very good condition, however has been heavily restored which might mean it’s worth less, what do you think about the price for this watch

It's a redial. 600 bucks tops.

Aren't redials pretty common in Vintage Rolexes? I'm not sure if I'm missing a joke but would that really drop the value by 75%?

I also wouldn’t say this watch is worth $2400. I had a precision and let it go for like $1350. They’re not nearly as valuable as Datejust, etc.

Anyone know where this guy buys his watches? I’d gladly buy a redial for 600

Don't buy redials. Only lovers buy redials. You wouldn't buy a second-hand tyre, would you?
