New Release
Miranda's post highlights a subtle but significant change in the Rolex Sea-Dweller 50th Anniversary model: the introduction of a 'Mark 2' dial featuring a Rolex crown between 'Swiss Made'. This observation sparked a discussion among collectors about the potential rarity and collectibility of the initial 'Mark 1' dials, offering valuable insights into the nuances of Rolex production variations.
Rolex Sea Dweller 50th β we have a mark 1 dialβ¦β¦.
As I stated in my Baselworld post earlier this year, all new Rolex models with the new series of movements will have a Rolex crown between the Swiss Made. It now appears that the first versions of this dial are appearing in the Sea Dweller- hence this can be called the mk 2 dial. What does this mean for the mk 1? I donβt think it is as rare as the fat/flat 4 LV (Y,F series), but will definitely prove to be a collectible in the future as the first version.
I have not seen any SD Anniversary in any windows from ADs in my town and around. Thank you for this, generally, interesting point!
Please post if you have a mk 1 or 2
.....rarity is a relative concept. My oil paintings are significantly rarer than those by Picasso. Yet, demand for my oil paintings is somewhat less. So a relative thing as well as an absolute thing.
I wonder how many were made for the mark 1?
Got mine earlier this year.
I recall the Rolex boutique AD manager in NYC talking about the first delivery of the 50th anniversary during the Patek NYC exhibition visit to the store last July. Therefore , the mark 2 started a year later.
