Every Rolex Tells a Story
There was an old Rolex booklet saying " Every Rolex Tells a Story" â?¦.I should ad that " Some Have Amazing Stories to Tell" ! I have already described here the variations of the early â??thin caseâ?? Sea Dweller, a fascinating watch that can be considere...
Congratulations!
You have just acquired a fantastic watch - it's a dream of every diver. Best, Kari
It is now up to you to perpetuate the story of this great ( latest ) catch, Jeff.
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.
The way you put it Nico, as if you're wishing Jeff a happy mariage.:)

A kind of, don't you think?
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.
True. True.
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
A marvelous story
Congratulations on this great catch, clearly the dream of any vinatge lover. The pictures are just stupenous. Best regards, George
Talking watches
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.
Wow!, that's a priceless catch. Congrats!
And it's a BEAUTIFUL and special watch. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy it. (I know you will) Vte
Awesome find!
And this construction stuff just makes my juices flow. AWESOME. Love to have a beer with the owner. Thanks for the post. What a great piece!
What a fantastic find!
Huge congrats, Jeff! Love the watch and the story! Best Blomman
sometimes words just fail..awesome, beautiful you know, they are not enough...
what can i say.... you took my breath away.... wear it in the best of health and happiness...and thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for sharing with us Best Imran
The watch is in amazing condition considering
some of the jobs it was involved in. Obviously owned by someone who takes care of his equipment. Congratulations! Stewart
You know...
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
Good to hear...
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.
Congratulations on this fine watch
with history, provenance and beauty. Thanks for sharing the story. Regards, Richard.
Now that is one real story to cherish along with...
..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...
That's a collectors ultimate dream.
Stunning watch Impeccable provenance Most desirable condition. Amazing story. Congrats on a great great catch. Ed
Amazing Jeff!!
Congrats!! Can't wait to see it! Is it time to let go of the other..? ;-)
Jeff.... what a watch
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 ...
I know how much you love these early DRSD's....
...and I hope that you will take time to share yours with us someday ;-)
Stunning, This post just.....
....made my day Jeff. What a cracker of a DRSD. To have all the dive history behind is a real treat. Congrats Jeff!!
I'm reminded of Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story" . . .
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe They wouldn't give you the time of day But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet God, I was glad I found her Outstanding, Jeff. A find like this gives meaning to the journey. Best regards, Art

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
Thanks a lot Bill
I have other stuff to share, but I need time to make some research first !
I hope to share a full singing and dancing 6202
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 ...
Yours is one of the nicest I've ever seen, my friend. [nt]
