Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Mk2 Patent Pending

Jan 20, 2019,03:18 AM
 

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.


Debates continue on just how many patent pending Mk2 were made. Once it was believed that only 100 were made. I suspect the number is closer to 300, but not many are in the condition of this one.


A good vintage Rolex to own for me. It has been a good 10 years......




What I particularly like is the evenness of the brown.

I am fortunate to own one. It is mk2 but not patent pending. But it is caramel tropical. I am surprised that there are now 2 variations of mk2 - patent pending - thin - Regular

Ay Ay Ay, what a bomb! [nt]

I have noticed that the Mk2 dials have a tendency to turn brown. More do than don’t.

Gorgeous brownie 😍😍πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
