Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza is pleased to introduce a recommended wristwatch!

Today, we have a beautiful vintage Sea-Dweller.

ROLEX Sea-Dweller MK1 All Tritium
Ref.1665 Serial.6.1 million range (manufactured around 1980)
Cal.1570 Hard bracelet 93150/FF585 Clasp code VE
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

The first model of the Rolex Sea-Dweller, "Ref.1665," has arrived!

The Sea-Dweller is known for its special helium escape valve mechanism that automatically releases helium gas during saturation diving.

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

The "Ref.1665" is famous for its early models, commonly known as "Red Sea-Dweller," where "SEA-DWELLER" and "SUBMARINER 2000" are printed in red.

However, the model we are introducing today is the one where the logo has been changed to a white logo, commonly known as "Great White."

Great White dials are categorized from MK0 to MK4, and this one is an MK1 dial, characterized by the small, non-italicized "ft" for the waterproof rating.

The dial condition is excellent, maintaining a clean state even under a loupe.

This is the first time in a while that we have received an MK1 dial in such good condition.

The luminous indexes have a beautiful patina, which is a nice touch.

The luminous material is all tritium.

Although there is some age-related deterioration, the color matches the luminous indexes well.

Despite some scuffs and scratches from use, the case is thick with sharp, well-defined edges, making it an excellent example.

Look at the condition of the middle case!

The edge lines of the lugs are perfectly defined!!

Such powerful lugs are truly captivating!

The thick bezel and case of "Ref.1665" are simply irresistible!!

I absolutely love this angle when viewed from the side!

The domed acrylic crystal also looks great!

The buckle clasp code is "VE."

The bracelet, matching the era, is in excellent condition with almost no signs of stretch!

The bezel insert is an MK3, which matches the era.

There's a small chip on the luminous point, but the insert itself is in good condition!!

What do you think?

Overall, this recommended vintage model has excellent total balance!

Wrist shot!! It looks great!!
This vintage Sea-Dweller makes a very good impression!

The first generation Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665/MK1 from '80" is a recommended piece with a remarkably clean dial and a sharp, well-defined case!!
It's rare to find an MK1 in such good condition with consistent parts, making such a strong impression!
We encourage our customers to consider this vintage Sea-Dweller with an exceptional atmosphere!
