SOLD OUT!!
The first Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665"
This model was created in 1967 in partnership with the underwater research company COMEX!
This model is known as the Red Seed , as it has the words "SEA-DWELLER" and "SUBMARINER 2000" printed in red, which are found on some early models.
This is also known as "DRSD" (Double Red Seed Error) .
Akaseed was produced for about 10 years until around 1977.
This is a rare vintage model that is much less common than the red Sub.
The Red Sea-Dweller is classified into five types, including the prototype model MK0, up to MK4.
This is one of the most popular red seeds.
This is an MK3 dial manufactured between 1972 and 1974.
The MK3 is said to have a well-balanced design between the old and new lettering specifications.
I've been seeing them less and less recently.
The back cover features the MK3's characteristic "straight logo" .
The inside is engraved with the last three digits of the serial number and the 1972 first period.
Incidentally, it is said that a patent for a helium gas exhaust valve was granted in 1970.
The back of the watch manufactured before it was approved has the words "PATENT PENDING" on it.
After the patent has been approved, the back cover of the watch is engraved with "ROLEX PATENT."
This item has a dial in very good condition!
There are some very small scratches, but it remains in good condition even when viewed with a magnifying glass.
The cream-colored index luminous coating is in good condition with no noticeable stains or chips.
The hands have been replaced in later years, but they are now tritium luminous hands.
The atmosphere is never compromised!
The bezel insert is equipped with a bold MK3!!
As expected, this bezel insert is a perfect fit for the 70s models!!
*Luminous points are made by a third party.
The condition of the case and bracelet is that of a vintage model.
It is in very good condition.
The condition of the middle case in particular is excellent, with thick, sharp edges!
This crisp lug shape is very attractive!
The hairline is also in good condition!
It's rare to come across such a hardy specimen in red seeds!
Buckle clasp code is "VB"
The bracelet is a slightly later grooveless hard bracelet.
But the breathability is good!!
Although there is a very slight twist, it is equipped with a very sturdy hard bracelet!
The thick case and bezel are rugged and cool!
Wrist shot!!
The beautiful MK3 dial just doesn't fit in the crappy case!!
A rare vintage model! Red Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665/MK3"
The main parts are in good condition and highly recommended!
This is a model that is hard to find, but a Red Seed/MK3 in such excellent condition is definitely rare!!
This is a model that is hard to come by, so don't miss out if you're looking for it!
If you are looking for a rugged vintage model , please consider this one.
