Reply With QuoteThat looks absolutely beautiful. Assuming it's 34mm the size looks great as well.
Bought it out of New Zealand via Ebay but after receiving it appeared the automatic winding mechanism and some other small parts were missing. After 3 months of searching and spending >EUR 500 on parts from all over the world is this the result: a 1954 Rolex 6580.
Looks great,congrats!
Did the seller told you about the missing parts?
Absolutely gorgeous. Nice to see its been restored rather than lost for good.
No he didn't and stated that he didn't open it (and knew knothing about watches anyway). Bit of a dead end street. When I opened it it went pretty easy so assumed it was opened short before...
Beautiful, gilt dial?
Wow, what a fantastic result, you must be over the moon!

Understated class , well done for holding your nerve when stumping up for servicing costs. It looks lovely.
Beautiful. Great addition.

@Higham: the service itself is not that expensive but some parts for Rolex 1030's are about unobtainium.
Nice job and original markers, lovely watch.
