-Description
The Datejust, Rolex's most famous automatic watch, was born in 1945.
It is widely known as a watch that anyone can recognize at a glance from its distinctive appearance.
The Datejust mechanism, which instantly changes the date at midnight, is considered one of Rolex's three greatest inventions, along with the Oyster case and the self-winding Perpetual mechanism, and the Datejust is the culmination of all these features.
Ref.6605 is a vintage model produced for a very short period from the mid to late 1950s.
It is the predecessor model of Ref.1601, and its main feature is the finely-notched fluted bezel made of white gold.
The case size is 36mm, the same as other Datejust watches.
The dial is a sunray-finished silver dial with great patina.
It has a very nice discoloration with a shade between brown and orange.
The wedge-shaped index and alpha hands are also very Rolex-like from the 50s.
The luminous paint also has some chipping, but it is not noticeable.
The bracelet is a folded jubilee bracelet 6251H. You can see the age-related drooping.
The buckle is a "Small Logo Clasp", a rare buckle with a small ROLEX engraving on the middle plate.
The clasp code is 1957 I period, which almost matches the production year of the watch.
The movement is self-winding Cal.1066.
This movement is characterized by bi-directional winding, which was revolutionary at the time, and a butterfly rotor with a hole in the center to increase the rotational efficiency of the rotor.
This movement is famous for being used in this Datejust Ref.6605 and the first model of GMT Master Ref.6542.
It has passed a 5 ATM water resistance test, and is in very good condition for a vintage watch.
*Although it has passed the waterproof test, please note that damage due to flooding is not covered by our warranty.

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
