Common questions about the Rolex Other & Miscellaneous 6610

How big is the Rolex Other & Miscellaneous 6610?

The case measures 38mm across, with a 20mm lug width. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

What movement is in the 6610?

Manual-wind or early automatic, vintage Rolex caliber. The caliber is the 1030.

Is the 6610 water resistant?

It is rated to 100 meters, about 328 feet. That is enough for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

When was the Rolex Other & Miscellaneous 6610 made?

Rolex produced this reference from 1955 to 1960. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

What does the reference number 6610 mean?

6610 = vintage 1950s Rolex reference; associated with early Submariner or Explorer variants. Verify exact model and configuration against comps and serial.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

Does the 6610 have a nickname?

Vintage Submariner or Explorer - verify model. Collector nicknames are not official Rolex names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
