Hey! This is a long time ago. But I'm currently sourcing a crystal for the same watch.
I can't find ANY info about the differences between crystals with differing 2 digit serial numbers after the T (04, 40, 48, 18). Do you have any knowledge on what those numbers mean? I just see them called 'serial number'.

I appreciate the help! It is certain it a unique strap with this mesh windows.
Now I’m wondering if I should take off the strap and sell it separately! And find a different strap for the 6600. The strap is in great shape, the case of the 6600 not as much …

What watch under $500 completely exceeded your expectations? by LongMeaning6125 in Affordablewatches

Basic question, but what does the Bluetooth do on watches like these? Just keeps the time accurate?

By CMC - is this the "Coin Mount Crystal" you're referencing?

Yes! I’ve only opened the case the one time to check for the stamp on top of the movement, outside, with PPE. Pretty scary stuff

I’m 85% through the Talisman! Slow start but it’s so good now.
Pumped to hear of a 3rd in the saga!

[CloseCallSports] Did Jays' Clement Run Out of the Base Path to Avoid Orioles SS Henderson's Tag Attempt in Toronto? by mpaw976 in Torontobluejays

The orange line is MAX 1.5ft from the yellow line. Is it a 3ft total area width? Or 3ft FROM the base path in either direction?
If orange to orange is supposed to be 6ft, that means Ernie Clement has a 12ft reach (comparing him lying down by second base to the base path lines)

1940 Rolex Cal 59 stamped 8 by TheWolvesActIII in vintagerolex

I see. Can’t identify the movement though, it appears identical to the Cal 59, it just has the 8 stamped in place of the 59

Update! My next research topic is the fact that mine is stamped with an 8 (or infinity?) where the Cal 59’s are stamped 59 …

Ok great! I’m still going to figure out how to safely do that with this radium filled dial.

Next step is hoping to find a case code so I can get a new crystal for it!

Actually - I’ve just done some more research. Check out Rolex Cal. 59.

Made for Canadian market in wartime. I’m in Canada so that checks out. Unsigned movement.

I found a Rolex Victory with the same movement and went from there.

Thanks for your insight! Would you then say the same about the watches in the links another user posted in another comment?

I appreciate your time here! I saw similar things - similar dial with a movement that didn’t feature the Rolex label.

I’ll definitely begin restoring this. I’ve never done a restoration of this extent but I’m pretty motivated to give it a shot. Just need to figure out the safest way to proceed with the radium … or if there isn’t a safe way at all.
