I'm more and more attracted by these DRSD MK II... Your post is not very helpful, but what a pleasure for the eyes. A superb piece of collection and history, for sure. I wish for both of you another great time together. All the best, Nicolas.

When the watc has such a rich history and an impressive beauty, I don't see a " just one night " story. But I may be wrong... Best, Nicolas.

I never like one night story not enough satisfaction. And Nico you are rarely wrong ... ... except maybe you decided to sell the reverso platinum no.2 Best Tyler

Congratulations on this great catch, clearly the dream of any vinatge lover. The pictures are just stupenous. Best regards, George

This post is one of the reasons I collect vintage watches. Sometimes a brand brings history and sometimes a watch carries a history, but the very rarest is when they both come together. Thanks for sharing.

Great watch, but in some ways a bit sad.

I have had the opportunity to meet several divers and for them their watch was just a tool like another, with no special "aura". I would be sad if he had been fooled and sold his watch for little money....but it's not the case ;-) Cheers Jeff

I agrees, divers have a whole lot of gear to fetishise...watches don't generally figure that high. I wouldn't think it easy to fool the likes of GC, anyway! Thanks Jeff.

with history, provenance and beauty. Thanks for sharing the story. Regards, Richard.

..the almost 40 year old watch,pristine condition after so many years, cool looking watch and cool looking original owner who probably has been there and done that doing things i can never imagine myself doint. Congrats, one very cool watch...

Stunning watch Impeccable provenance Most desirable condition. Amazing story. Congrats on a great great catch. Ed

Congrats!! Can't wait to see it! Is it time to let go of the other..? ;-)

It is ALWAYS fascinating and captivating when you catch a great watch. The reason is simple....one can feel your joy in your words. Firstly, thanks for sharing that joy. Second....what a watch! First owner watches are superbly rare. To catch one, and one ...

Hi Jeff The story behind the watch really completes the whole Rolex vintage experience. Thanks for including us on the adventure. Wear it in good health. Bill

I have other stuff to share, but I need time to make some research first !

In all it's splendor soon also. Not the sexiest watch but a nice historical reference all 100% as it was intended bezel, dial, hands etc. I am looking for ads and other docs to substantiate it. I have the guarantee paper, valuable yes, but unfilled as it ...
