The Rolex reference 6084 is a transitional piece from the "Bubblebacks" that preceded the Datejusts and Day-Dates that came to follow. Featuring the traditional Rolex "Oyster" case shape, this watch is really all about the amazing cream-colored honeycomb dial; the checkerboard pattern is mesmerizing. The sunken pink-gold markers combined with pink-gold hands make this a watch that is highly legible and looks remarkably distinguished.

V-rings are mounted to the shaft and can be used as a face seal, lip seal or more commonly as a flinger where centrifugal forces from the spinning shaft deflect fluids away from a counter-face surface.

One of the most stunning honeycomb dials we have seen on a Rolex, this is a watch that has been polished in the past while the dial also has some slight darkness to it in places. Still, it is an incredibly beautiful watch.

Made entirely of rubber, v-rings can be easily stretched to fit over assembled parts and one size can fit a number of shaft diameters. The soft sealing lip provides a low friction surface contact and can readily tolerate out-of-round, misaligned and eccentric shaft movement.
