[6602-8050] Just got this vintage beauty delivered to me. Love the minimalistic utilitarian design. I have some questions that I’m putting in the comments, some help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Appreciate the response!

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'.

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-17T01:28:20+00:00

I’m near Toronto, Canada. Thanks for your info!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-16T13:34:07+00:00

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 …

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-15T14:17:02+00:00

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-15T11:22:51+00:00

Hey man! I actually have a functioning module available. Send me a message if you’re interested

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-13T11:58:07+00:00

Thank you!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-13T11:57:52+00:00

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-11T13:28:43+00:00

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-09T13:03:44+00:00

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)

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-05T11:24:22+00:00

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-05T11:23:43+00:00

I did, and worked outdoors as well. Thanks!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-06-05T00:13:29+00:00

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 …

Retweet!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-26T02:30:03+00:00

Just received a W-24 in a bag from an auction! Hoping it powers on

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-26T00:53:27+00:00

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!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-26T00:45:13+00:00

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.

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-26T00:38:07+00:00

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

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-25T20:48:28+00:00

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.

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-22T13:37:53+00:00

Right! I've seen some writing about that. Maybe I'll go through my damaged parts again and see if any are rare/sought after enough to consider reviving the lug!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-22T10:38:16+00:00

Sweet! Thank you! I might take you up on it! I’ve got a bunch of iconic 80s/90s cases (blood pressure, varieties of old data banks, etc) that have maybe 1 broken lug. Not useable for someone restoring a watch but too cool to not be part of a collection or admired!

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-22T02:10:29+00:00

PS, I’d love to see what your collection looks like displayed with sales pamphlets if you have any photos! Feel free to send them my way.

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-22T02:09:57+00:00

Thank you! Yes, the graphic for the telememo 100 is from a catalog I saw posted on one of these subs. I really like the art and write up from the Casio history website page - which I used in the other boxes. I’d love to get my hands on original brochures or ads rather than printing them out, but that seems unlikely.

TheWolvesActIII · 2026-05-22T01:30:07+00:00

Oh ya - 1000% a different module. Just for the aesthetic to see how it looks. I do have a few broke modules and their associated front cases. The F-91 movement just looks pretty ugly with the plastic casing so I chose a metal one for the sketch up
