Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce you to some recommended watches!
Today we have a well-maintained vintage Sea-Dweller.

Rolex Sea-Dweller MK1 All Tritium
Ref. 1665 Serial. 61 series (manufactured around 1980)
Cal.1570 Hard Bracelet 93150/FF585 Clasp Code VE
Accessories: Main unit only
Retail price: 2,882,000 yen (tax included)

The first model of Rolex Sea-Dweller, "Ref. 1665", has arrived!
The Sea-Dweller is known for its special mechanism that automatically releases helium gas during saturation diving.
This model is equipped with a helium gas escape bubble.

The case back features the patented trademark
It is engraved with "ROLEX PATENT OYSTER GAS ESCAPE VALVE".

"Ref.1665" is the early model "SEA-DWELLER" and "SUBMARINER 2000".
The model known as the Red Seed, which is printed in red, is famous.

Today's introduction is a new logo that has been changed to a white logo.
This model is commonly known as "Great White."

The Great White dial is classified into MK0 to MK4.
This is the small, unitalicized "ft" waterproof notation.
It features the distinctive MK1 dial.

The dial condition is excellent and remains in excellent condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.

This is the first time in a long time that we have received an MK1 dial in such good condition.
The index luminous material is also nicely burned in, which is a nice touch.

The luminous material is all tritium.
Although there is some deterioration due to age, the color matches the luminous index.

The condition is good, there are some scratches and scuffs due to use,
The case is thick and has sharp edges, making it a good specimen.

The middle case is in the condition you see!

The edge lines of the lug feet are perfectly defined!!
These impressive rug legs are very attractive!

The "Ref.1665" has a thick bezel and case that just won't fit!
I love this angle from the side!
The dome-shaped plastic windshield also looks great!

Buckle clasp code is "VE"

The bracelet is in good condition and is in good condition with almost no signs of wear!

The bezel insert is a period-correct MK3.
There is a chip in the luminous point, but the insert is in good condition!!

What do you think?
Overall, this is a well-balanced vintage model that we highly recommend!

Wrist shot!! He looks great!!
This is a very impressive vintage Sea-Dweller!

The first Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665/MK1 80 years"
This is a highly recommended watch with an exceptionally beautiful dial and a sturdy case!
It's rare to find an MK1 with such a good impression and well-matched parts!

A customer presented a vintage Sea-Dweller with a great atmosphere.
Please consider it!
