Description

I have for sale a Rolex double red sea dweller (DRSD) with mark IV dial. The watch is a 5.2 million serial numbered transitional model from 1977 with a round font caseback (original owner’s name and birthday are engraved on the caseback). The serial is right within the generally accepted range for transitional models, and the full case serial is engraved inside the caseback so there is no question about the originality of parts. The dial is in excellent condition with only very minor aging around the date window, there are no cracks on the minute track. The patina on the lume plots, hands, and bezel pearl are all matching and original. The fat font bezel has faded beautifully into a greyish-blue which is highly sought after. The case has been polished but is still in good condition with healthy lugs, the serial number is clearly visible. Comes on its original 93150 bracelet with 585 endlinks, the clasp is also original to the watch with a “VC” stamp corresponding to 1977 production. Overall the condition of the watch is good, but make no mistake, this is NOT a safe queen. If you’re looking for a DRSD with all original and matching parts that you can actually wear day in and day out without worries, then this is it. Complete servicing of the movement and light polishing just carried out by Rolex trained watchmaker so it looks and runs great. I am located in Hong Kong. Plenty of international references available. Payment via bankwire ONLY. Price includes shipping worldwide. No trades on this one please. I reserve the right to give priority to buyers with whom I have dealt with before. Please feel free to PM or email me with any questions. Lots of additional photos available. Thanks for looking Jonathan

📖 About This Reference

The Rolex Reference 1665, known as the "Great White," is a specific iteration within its model family. This particular reference is distinct from the Reference 1680, which the collector notes as a separate model undergoing a makeover. This example features a case described as being in good condition. The movement is a caliber 1570. The dial is a servicedial with Luminova, marked as a Tritium dial. This reference appeals to collectors seeking specific variations within the Rolex lineup. The presence of a servicedial with Luminova, marked as Tritium, is a notable characteristic for those interested in dial variations.

A dream of a watch: Rolex Sea Dweller 1665 Double Red MK II Thin Case, Tropical Dial.
This is the third specimen I could see, some months ago. And all of those I could see were pure marvels. This one is no exception. Clearly in my dream list, in this configuration, even if a nice MK III Double Red would make my day, too. One day! Best, Nicolas

A desire of Rolex Sea Dweller.
There are few vintage and modern Rolex I am running after, besides the GMT MASTER. The Sea Dweller, or its modern iteration is one of them.

Some pictures of a Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Double Red.
For the moment, I have one Sea-Dweller, and a reference I love, the 16660. But it has been years I am considering a 1665 Double Red.

Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Mk2 Patent Pending
It has been a long time since I took some fresh pictures of my 1665 Mk2. I have owned this watch for almost a decade now. When i bought it, the dial was black with the very slightest hint of dark brown. 10 years later, as has happened to many Mk2 1665s, the dial has turned a gorgeous and even brown.
