DRSD census
Let's make a game, a kind of 1665 DRSD census ........... and let see what happen. In my opinion - in the vintage environment AFTER the gilt period - 1665 double red is the most fascinating watch, MK3 in the thick case range and MK1 and 2 in the thin case range, but also a MK4 is always a wonderful watch to wear, solid and strong. This is my DR turned chocolate brown, thin case and 2,9xx serial. Let's see the others.

This is because of pictures like this one that I want one.
I still have to find 3 more references to close my Vintage Rolex Collection, and the DRSD is one of them. MK II ( thin case ) or MK III ( big case ), with a slight prefence for the MK II. The patina on yours is crazy. I love it a lot, and this is exactly ...
Since 2008, my friend.
It took me quite a long time to find one complete, and with a great patina. Thanks. Nicolas.
Nicolas and Jeff---Very nice!!!
I will post some of mine when i get them out of safekeeping!! I love those chocolate dials! So amazing I want one!!! Congrats and enjoy them!! Regards--Ken
I love the DRSD....
Although I remain convinced that the PN is the coolest watch in the world. the DRSD on the wrist is a sight to behold.....such presence. I think if i had to choose just two watches from all my Rolex, it would be my 6239PN and one of my DRSD........
Rolex DRSD MK III
This one is 4.1 mil around 1974. The red letters are thin and not so strong on the red. So MKIII. A friend of mine got this one from the original owner nicely documented. Thanks Bill Rolex 1665 DSRD Rolex 1665 DSRD Rolex 1665 DSRD Rolex 1665 DSRD ...
Sweet Patina Patrice. I love it.
I like the environment in which it is living also. Enjoy the sun. Bill

Funny that you posted these 2 pictures, Ken...
I' m more and more thinking about adding 2 SDs in my collection... A DRSD, preferably MK II, but why not MK III, and, AND a Rail Dial. To have the pleasure to get the 3 " infernal " SDs, as I already own the Triple 6. Hmmm, another nice temptation... Best...
