The Rolex Vintage Precision 6427 watch: service
Joshua Grillet
The Precision line offered manual-winding watches at a time when Rolex was mainly known for its automatic calibers. This fact helps explain why this range received little attention, yet this caliber offers many advantages. It is very robust, accurate, and allows for a slimmer case.
This Oyster case fits like a glove, and its Engine Turned bezel adds a touch of chic to the watch.
